A mysterious telegram sends the investigators on an epic journey filled with intrigue and horror.
The Children of Fear is an epic, multi-part campaign for Call of Cthulhu. The scenarios explore myths and legends of Central Asia and northern India.
This campaign allows the investigators to determine the journey they embark on. Additionally, the plot is designed to be flexible, allowing for varying degrees of Cthulhu Mythos involvement - ranging from the outer gods to a more subdued, occult-fixated series of adventures. There is guidance for the Keeper, so they can tailor the campaign's great threat to best fit their group.
The Children of Fear covers sights, encounters, and dangers that can be found in Beijing, Sian, Taklamakan, Peshawar, and Kham.
The investigators' journey goes from China, through northern India, and on to Tibet. There are detailed appendices that describe the travels, NPCs, spells, and a wealth of references - so you have everything you need to create a unique experience.
There are also plenty of handouts and maps that enhance the gaming experience and immersion in the story. The Children of Fear includes 6 pre-generated characters, so players can jump straight into the action. At the same time, there are many NPCs with their own agendas and plenty of new Mythos monsters that can also be used in other Call of Cthulhu scenarios.
Call of Cthulhu is the definitive mystery and horror role-playing game and has won over 40 awards, including being inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Art and Design Hall of Fame.
