A Campaign Across Asia For The World’s Best Horror Game!
A mysterious telegram plunges the investigators into an epic journey of intrigue and horror.
The Children of Fear is an epic, multi-part campaign for Call of Cthulhu. The scenarios within explore myths and legends of Central Asia and Northern India.
A Modular Campaign
This player-led campaign allows the investigators to determine the journey they take. In addition, the plot is designed to be flexible, allowing for different scales or types of Cthulhu Mythos involvement—all the way from the Outer Gods themselves down to a more low-key, occult-focused series of adventures. Guidance is provided for the Keeper to tailor the exact nature of the threat to best suit their group’s tastes.
Explore Asia Through The Cthulhu Mythos
The Children of Fear covers in detail the sights, encounters, and dangers found in Peking, Sian, the Taklamakan, Peshawar, and Kham. Investigators will travel from China, through Northern India, and on to Tibet. With detailed appendices covering travel, non-player characters, spells, a reference bibliography, and more, the book gives you everything you need to authentically create a unique experience at your gaming table.
Maps, Handouts, and Characters
A wealth of player hand-outs and maps enhance both the player experience and immersion. The Children of Fear includes six pre-generated characters so players can jump right into the action. A host of non-player characters, all with their own agendas, accompany new Cthulhu Mythos monsters for use in any Call of Cthulhu scenario.
Mature Content Warning: Some of the material in this campaign deals with mature themes -- primarily cannibalism and sex in the context of religious and cultural rites. While advice is provided at points, Keepers are advised to adjust their presentation of this subject matter in accordance with their own and their group's comfort levels.
