Product Details

Thesee cycles of experience, of course, all stem from that worm–riddled book. I remember when I found it — in a dimly lighted place near the, oily river the mists always swirl
—The Book

Forbidden Tomes. Bookhounds of London is a brand new campaign setting for Trail of Cthulhu, packed with period detail, where the Investigators seek out books about horror and strangeness and become, seemingly inevitable, drawn into the horror themselves. It provides in–depth material on London in the 1930s, carefully slanted towards Mythos investigators.

An ancient city. Bookhounds' London is a city of cinemas, electric lights, global power and the height of fashion. It's about the horrors – the canceres – that lurk in the capital, in the very beating heart of human civilization. A Templar altar might well crouch, mostly forgotten, in the dreary Hackney Marshes, but altars to flase gods tower over the metaphorical wamps of Fleet Street and Whitehall. And as for lost, prehuman ruins ... who's to say what lies under London, if you dig deep enough?

Terrible choices. The PCs aren't stalwart G–men or tweedy scholars exploring forbidden frontiers. Instead they acquire maps (and maybe guidbooks) to those forbidden frontiers from fusty libraries and prestigious auction houses. They are Book–Hounds, looking for profit in mouldy vellum and leather bindings, balancing their own books by finding first editions for Satanists and would–be sorcerers. They may not quite know what they traffic in, or they may know–rather better than their clientele, but needs must when the bills come in.

This volume includes:

32 authentic full–colour maps with unique new street index of London in the 1930s, and plans of major buildings.
A Mythos take on London in the 1930s, packed with contacts, locations and rumours.
New abilities such as Document Analysis, Auction and Forgery, as well as new occupations and drives.
Full statistics for a host of new and horrible Mythos creatures to pit against the Bookhounds.
Whitechapel Black–Letter, a bran new adventure which takes Bookhounds through the bleak East End of London on the trail of a powerful 15th century grimoire.

With Bookhounds, Kenneth Hite creates a rich sandbox full of dusty tomes, crooked dealers and dark alleys, a perfect setting for any Mythos investigation.
