Call of Cthulhu RPG - Regency Cthulhu: Dark Designs in Jane Austen's England

Regency...England: a time of social niceties, of grand balls, and of romantic intrigues and disappointments, as described most adroitly in the novels of Miss...Jane...Austen. But the...Regency...is also a time of lurid Gothic romances, and of war and social upheaval, as the Industrial Revolution gets into full swing and the hostilities with Napoleonic France draw to a close. Against this backdrop, the Mythos insinuates itself into the very fabric of society, always watchful for the opportunity to instill fear and terror into the hearts of everyday Georgians, from the richest to the poorest.

Regency...Cthulhu: Darkness and Decorum in...Jane...Austen's...England...is a historical sourcebook for the Call of...Cthulhu...roleplaying game. Set in the early...Regency...period (circa 1813), it describes the fictional town of Tarryford in Wiltshire,...England, as well as presenting two scenarios designed to introduce players to both the time period and the town's mysteries.

Suitable for use with both classic Call of...Cthulhu...and Pulp...Cthulhu...rules, players take on the roles of budding...Regency...investigators, be they members of the gentry or the working classes. Together they uncover the...dark...secrets at the heart of Tarryford; horrors that have lain dormant for many a year but now seek to burst forth into...England's green and pleasant land.
