A supplement for the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, published by Chaosium, these guidelines let you and your gaming group engage with Mythos horrors in a variety of different ages from Ancient Rome to the distant, dystopia future.

I have never really been able to find the time to get involved in tabletop RPGs, but if I did, these campaigns look to be interesting. Thanks, Seth.
Thank you, Tim. I can understand where you're coming from. Some TTRPGs require a time investment.
Good stuff Seth. I’d add Delta Green to your list, as well as Alien and Mothership for a bit of sci-fi “peanut butter” into the Mythos “chocolate”.
Thanks, Paul. I noticed Delta Green and Alien have gotten quite popular lately.
Didn't know there was a game. Looks like fun.
Loving your work, please keep it up.
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I'm slowly sinking into a new RPG, Rogue Trader. Yup that one, the forerunner to WH40K. Which has a strong Cthulhu undercurrent (who'd of thunk GW would steal...er borrow IPs???). And the Chaos/Cthulhu bent is one of the most interesting parts. I should probably give the CoC RPG a look. Thanks for another good video PN!
Thanks, Grammaticus. I hope Rogue Trader works out for you. I haven't explored that one yet. Traveller has some basic similarities to that one, I think, but without any of the Cosmic Horror elements.
The Call of Cthulhu makes for a fun game, especially if you go in knowing it's about paranormal investigation and horror and doesn't really play like more action-oriented games along the lines of Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder.
@@PeculiarNotions It sounds interesting and fun. We (the family) have the Eldritch Horror boardgame. Which is a blast. I envision the RPG as a more indepth version of the boardgame.
Sup Grammaticus. Two suggestions: if you aren’t aware of it already, you might like Achtung Cthulhu (think original Hellboy movie), and if you find Rogue Trader doesn’t have enough support and you stall on it, take a look at Imperium Maledictum which takes a similar lower power tone (versus Space Marine-level power).
@paulbigbee I'd hesitate to recommend Achtung Cthulu, personally. Like most of Modiphius 2d20 games (Conan, Fallout, Dune, etc), the game suffers in certain portions as rules and mechanics are largely left vague. Everything sounds fine when you're reading through it, but when you start playing i found there to be a fair amount of uncertainty and confusion. The nebulous zone mechanic for combat serves as a prime example.
