Crowdfunding Begins for the Trail of Cthulhu Second Edition

Oct 16, 2024

Pelgrane Press has launched a crowdfunding project to bring Trail of Cthulhu Second Edition to the masses. The roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror is built using the Gumshoe engine, eliminating the risk of missing a clue or two derailing an entire adventure or campaign. Get the full-color, hardcover edition of Trail of Cthulhu Second Edition, as well as PDFs of the Second Edition, The Kingsbury Horror, Boundary of the Darkness, and all digital rewards unlocked during the campaign for a pledge of approximately $80.00 or grab just the corebook in PDF for a pledge of approximately $33.00 through November 7 with expected delivery of the PDFs in March with the physical books to follow in July 2025.

About the game:

In the mists of prehistory, alien gods and monsters fell to Earth and warred over our planet, unleashing cosmic science and inconceivable powers until continents sank and seas boiled. Exhausted or defeated, They fell into an aeonslong slumber, and the human race obliviously goes about its business over Their tombs. But there are those who want to seek out the fragments of the lore They left behind. Those who want to learn the secrets of the stars, and the true names of the dimensions to gain the dead gods’ powers. Those want to wake Them up.

You are among the few brave souls who know the truth – about the mad gods at the center of the universe, about the Great Old Ones who will uncaringly obliterate the Earth, about the ancient legends of undying evil that are all coming true. You must make sure nobody ever finds out — or the world will wake up screaming. You have to keep the doors to the Outside from swinging open – no matter what the cost in life or sanity. You have to piece together clues from books bound in human skin, from eviscerated corpses covered in ichor, and from inscriptions carved on walls built before humanity evolved. You have to go wherever the answers are and do what needs to be done.

Do YOU dare to follow … the trail of Cthulhu?
