daddystabz Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Have any of you guys ever tried using CoC 7e to run Gothic horror and break away from the cosmic horror occasionally? I really enjoy gothic horror also and want to do some Hammer-esque stuff with these rules. Are there any adventures or supplements out there for Gothic horror with CoC 7e?

rsanford Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Well there have been non-mythos scenarios and campaigns but I don't think any have come out yet for CoC 7. The campaign that comes to mind is Pagan Publishing's Coming Full Circle though I am not sure it would meet your requirement for gothic...

daddystabz Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 What is Full Circle about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsanford Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I haven't read it yet, but I picked it up because is was non-mythos and because it has rules for psychics and mediums. From what I am told the book leverages New England superstition with the bad guys being vampires, ghost and witches (if I remember right). Note it takes place from 1929-1939 though I have ben told it could be easily moved to earlier in the twenties. I couldn't find any in-depth reviews but there is a mini review at https://orava.org/orava/weblog/2010/08/19/minireview-coming-full-circle-call-of-cthulhu There is also Bumps in the Night (also from Pagan). I just found a review of it and like Coming Full Circle its non-mythos.

seneschal Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 The Mythras folks are coming out with a game based on the ghost stories of M.R. James. Does that count? I have "Bumps In the Night." While it is definitely non-Mythos it isn't exactly Dracula or Turn of the Screw either, though you could mix its scenarios in with more traditional horror fare.

But I'm assuming this will be for Mythras and not CoC, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
