THE STARS ARE RIGHT!
Perilous Adventures to Thwart the Dark God
Soon Nyarlathotep's plans will come to fruition. Then the world will be changed irrevocably — but not quite yet. Pesky human investigators have learned much. Now they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action.
Masks of Nyarlathotep is a Lovecraftian exercise in horror and mystery.
This classic Call of Cthulhu campaign is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable campaign. Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition.
Set in 1925, adventures begin in New York, then move overseas to England, Egypt, Kenya Colony, Shanghai, and western Australia. Such extended globetrotting requires wit and planning by the players. Their investigators must have steady finances, good language skills, and a willingness to persevere despite governmental interference and cultist harassment. Meanwhile the keeper must bring to life different exotic locales, recreate the sensibilities of other cultures, and balance non-player-character foes and friends to allow each investigator to earn his or her own destiny—ultimate triumph, perhaps, or perhaps madness and agonizing death.
The original edition was an Origins Award Winner for Best Roleplaying Game Adventure. This new edition has been comprehensively revised and updated for use with Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, and also be run with the Pulp Cthulhu supplement and boasts the following features:
- A global campaign covering seven countries in five continents!
- Packed with encounters, side-track adventures, detailed adversaries, geographical information, and more!
- Presented in full color, with new artwork, maps and floor plans, and ready to use player handouts.
- Appendices collect new spells, tomes, artifacts, and travel advice.
- This ultimate edition is packed full of advice and tips for managing your campaign.

The best campaign ever constructed... is now even
By: Craig on 4 September 2022The Masks of Nyarlathotep has long been a high water mark in non-linear RPG design. It is truly global in scope - the players can travel around the world, following clues in any order, and the challenge for the players is high. This is easily the best rpg campaign (from a design point of view) that I ever played. It is also the best player experience I have ever had. Now that it has been made available in its expanded edition (with loads and loads of material never included in its original release) this is the definitive version of a game that defines its genre. Highly recommended. Just one word of warning, the materials are so beautifully produced you may feel some hesitation about bringing them out for actual play - I know I did. :D
