The Past is Doomed

A Call of Cthulhu scenario set in 1990s Arkham, where the city’s history becomes central to an investigation into the forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. Investigators encounter a phantom, sometimes intrusive past through dream-like sequences using mechanics explained in the scenario. The adventure connects the activities of 1920s investigators with events in the modern era and examines Arkham’s changing place across the 20th century, along with aspects of American history. Moving the scenario to another time or location is possible, but requires adaptation by the Keeper.
