Phocaea Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) The Pastores is a creepy-as-all-get-up campaign set in Southern France in the 12th century. And there's a new coloured, updated version now on drivethru I'm only plugging it because it dont think it gets quite enough praise as an example of how stories can work beyond the 19th/early 20th century. The author really knows this world https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/443848/the-pastores-a-supplement-for-cthulhu-dark-ages Edited December 23, 2023 by Nick Brooke 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoCthulhu Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I posted a question for the author concerning the availability of a printed soft cover version of The Pastores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s happening. The proof-print was ordered a couple of weeks ago; when it’s delivered, if it turns out OK, the print edition can go on sale. NB: all of the former Monographs are pre-approved for print-on-demand via the Miskatonic Repository, there is no need for them to hit the usual Electrum (251+ sales) threshold. They have to be updated to use the 7th edition rules, though, and print preparation is a non-trivial effort. 4 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

Nick Brooke Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Out now in print-on-demand from the Miskatonic Repository on DriveThruRPG: the expanded and revised edition of The Pastores - a malevolent cult for Cthulhu Dark Ages. Quote In the cities and countryside of West Frankia a sinister evil flourishes. Secret worshipers of Shub-Niggurath infiltrate the aristocracy and the Church. On their lands and in their fastnesses they transform flesh and breed beasts neither human nor animal. This supplement describes the Pastores, their beliefs, their leaders, their territories, their allies, and their monsters, and includes four scenarios to inflict the Pastores upon investigators. Expanded and revised for 7th edition Call of Cthulhu. Content warning Contains body horror, violence, harm to children, and scenes of torture. Discuss with your players limits, boundaries, and consent before play. 2 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

ColoradoCthulhu Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Thank you. I'll purchase the print + PDF combo next year, once my gaming group gets closer to running Cthulhu Dark Ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Zarnak Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Ordered it. The original monograph was a favorite of mine, one of the best of that line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoCthulhu Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Just ordered the PDF/Color Print combo. We'll run the Pastores mini-campaign after playing the regular Cthulhu Dark Ages supplement's scenarios, later this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
