Two-fisted action against Gods beyond Space and Time!

Do you dream of swinging on a vine into a temple of an ancient evil, just in time to kick the forbidden scroll from the hand of the cult leader?

Do you yearn to play a character dripping in quips, who can stand on the wing of a steadily ascending biplane, and who maybe, maybe just happens to "Know Kung-Fu"?

Then Pulp Cthulhu is the game for you!

What's Inside?

Pulp Cthulhu is a game of weird science, dark deeds, and larger-than-life heroes.

The Action Is The Juice (with Pulp)

Pulp Cthulhu contains new rules, systems, and shake-ups to the core Call of Cthulhu experience to take your tabletop games to the world of 1930s pulp action. Increased Hit Points, ever-flowing Luck points, and adjustments to combat damage and survivability turn your ordinary Investigators into their very own Rick O’Connell.

Keeping It Pulp

Extensive advice for Keepers and players on the Pulp genre—including tips for maintaining the correct vibe, running your own Pulp adventures, as well as a collection of Pulp villains, monsters, and advice for creating your own.

Pulp Cthulhu also includes real-world history of pulp fiction, detailing the 1930s era when the United States was in the grip of the Great Depression and on the road to World War II.

Campaign Kick-Starter Adventures

Pulp Cthulhu includes four scenarios playable with new or pre-generated heroes provided. Each scenario also includes full-color maps and handouts.

The Disintegrator

A wealthy scientist hires the heroes to gatecrash a private auction, and acquire a device known as a "disintegrator."

Waiting For The Hurricane

Stranded on an island in the Florida Keys, the heroes must ride a hurricane to safety, and uproot the sinister plans of a cult seeking to use the weather as a cover for their dark deeds.

Pandora's Box

The fabled artifact "Pandora's Box" is now housed in a local nightclub as a publicity stunt—but otherworldly bad luck seems to follow all those who chance upon it.

A Slow Boat to China

A voyage from San Francisco to Shanghai promises rest and relaxation, but an evil intent on controlling powers from beyond ensures this trip will be anything but restful.
