Down Darker Trails brings your Call of Cthulhu games to the badlands of the wild west of the USA! The era of gold fever, outlaws, cowboys, exploration, and expansion!
Mythos manifests in the old west, your investigators must venture into the wilderness that constitutes the lawless lands, and fight against the ancient and unknown evil that haunts the prairie. While the core rules support the classic Call of Cthulhu, additional rules allow you to play Pulp Cthulhu, with new enemies, talents, and new character options!
A Story in the Wild West
Captured in both text and images is the story of the Old West: famous individuals playing American Indian heroes, notable places and locations, as well as inspiration and guidance to bring the horrors and mysteries of the Great Old Ones into your games.
New Rules for Character Creation
The investigators in Down Darker Trails stand in sharp contrast to those found in Arkham in the 1920s. The book contains rules for investigators from the old west, new professions, new pulp talents, and new skills.
