MOB Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Check out this new Kickstarter project from our Call of Cthulhu licensee Darker Hue Studios - HARLEM UNBOUND is a unique RPG sourcebook that takes players into the exciting world of the Harlem Renaissance at its height, to face terrifying horrors from the Lovecraftian Mythos. Chris Spivey has done a wonderful job flipping Lovecraft's views on race on their head and letting us experience the Mythos from the perspective of the residents of Harlem. Well worth your support! http://kck.st/2hIz7Oh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 waitWHAT? DHS is involved in the Cthulhu line now????!? Don't you try to tell me the acronym is "just a coincidence!" We ALL know how likely THAT is... o_O Let's just say this brings a new level of squick to the whole idea of "body cavity searches."

trystero Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This looks really cool. I'd back the KS campaign if I hadn't just blown my discretionary budget on "fixing the hole in my house". I hope the book and extras will be available later when my balance recovers.

Mankcam Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Okay i backed this - I loved using Harlem and the Cotton Club scene for one or two scenarios, and I really wanted to have more stuff like that. This book could be the trick! 2 Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

MOB Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Our friends at Darker Hues Studios have just informed us that their licensed Call of Cthulhu supplement HARLEM UNBOUND has been acquired for the library collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution Anacostia Community Museum and The Newark Museum. These acquisitions are an acknowledgement of book's "artistic, scholarly and educational value". How cool is that? A further cool and somewhat Lovecraftian factor is that you must go to a special collections area to request the book and have a librarian bring you a tome to read there. (We're sure they'd want a copy for the Restricted Collection at the Orne Library at Miskatonic University too...) Harlem Unbound is available at DriveThruRPG. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Congratulations to our friends Chris Spivey and Darker Hue Studios for the Diana Jones Award nomination of Harlem Unbound, their ground-breaking Call of Cthulhu/Trail of Cthulhu sourcebook, set in 1920s Harlem. As the nomination states, "Harlem Unbound places (issues of racism) front and center and focuses the spotlight on them until they begin to smoke and burn. It’s an important book in that it takes games as a serious art form in which such matters can be explored, plumbed, and — if we’re lucky — understood." Harlem Unbound is available direct from Darker Hues Studios: http://bit.ly/2l6RPmz And congratulations to all the other nominees!
