Cthulhu Campaign 1789 - 2022

[AndreJarosch]

While sharing the news of the upcoming "Regency Cthulhu" book by Chaosium we had a nice little chat yesterday evening at a Discord channel, and figured something out:

For Chaosium purists:
Run "Reign of Terror" (Guillotine time in France, about 1789).
The surviving Investigators flee to England, where they (or their children) encounter "Regency Cthulhu" (1810er).
Their grandchildren have to investigate "Cthulhy by Gaslight" (or imigrate to the USA and get involved in "Down Darker Trails", Western-Cthulhu).
If you stay in europe then "No Mans Land" (WW I) follows.
The survivors (or their children or junger siblings) can get into a classic „Call of Cthulhu“ 1920s campaign...
...and continue with "Pulp Cthulhu" (1930s).


If you also use third party cthuloid material:
Run "Reign of Terror" (Guillotine time in France, about 1789).
The survivors go to Australia and get into "Convicts & Cthulhu" (australian prison camp, 1795-1810; published by Cthulhu Reborn --> to get at almost no costs at DrivethruRPG).
The surviving Investigators go back to europe, but to england, where they (or their children) encounter "Regency Cthulhu" (1810er).
Their children can play "Five Points” (England 1850; published by Mystical Throne Entertainment fort he  Renaissance RPG).
Their Children or grandchildren have to investigate "Cthulhy by Gaslight" (or imigrate tot he USA and get involved in "Down Darker Trails", Western-Cthulhu).
If you stay in europe then "No Mans Land" (WW I.) follows.
The survivors (or their children or junger siblings) can get into a classic „Call of Cthulhu“ 1920s campaign...
...and continue with "Pulp Cthulhu" (1930s).

If you want you can continue with:
Encounter the problems of "Atomic Age Cthulhu" (1950s) by Chaosium.
And from thre it is not soo much time until "Cthulhu Now" (IMHO Now is 1980-today).


A well prepared Gamemaster can destroy the Sanity and health of GENERATIONS of a familiy.

 

Two sidenotes which came up late in the discussion:

1. With playing generations of the same familiy all these Last Wills and inheritaces and legacys some CoC adventures come up with, will finally make sense!

2. You could make the Investigators reincarnations of their deceased predecessors (makes only sense if the first one was born after the second died). On his 25th birthday the character gets strange dreams and remembers parts of his last incarnation: And the hunt for cthuloid horrors continues!
