New to CoC

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've just purchased 7th edition for CoC, Not having played any of the previous versions (so, no baggage) for use with Cthulhu Britannica from Cubicle 7.

There is some good material there it has to be said.

Looking at the supplement books and again Chaosium have some good stuff for various locations around the world I notice a couple of to my mind glaring omissions.

What about Paris and Berlin?

In the 1920's surely they would be absolutely banging places to set a CoC campaign?

I wonder if they could come out in the future

Thoughts.

Good catch: yup, those are two major cities that haven't been well covered yet. Still:

  • 'Horror on the Orient Express' contains a Paris chapter ('Les Fleurs du Mal')
  • 'Nameless Horrors' contains a Paris based scenario ('A Message of Art')
  • Pegasus Press publishes the German version of CoC (and has references to Berlin)
  • Sans Détour publishes the French version of CoC

There have been some great national and city supplements for CoC.  Egypt and Morocco, New York, San Francisco, New Orleans, Kenya, Japan.  I strongly recommend the Lovecraft Country Supplements for Arkham, Kingsport, Dunwich, and Innsmouth however, as well as the Miskatonic University supplement.  Most of these were for previous editions of CoC, but easily convertible to 7th Ed.

I've just purchased the Morocco Suppliment book. Drawn to that by my reading of a book Our Friends Beneath the Sands. French Colonialism in Vietnam/IndoChina and North Africa including of course Morocco and in particular the Foreign Legion. There's a thought, a Foreign Legion unit terrorised by a summoned horror from the Outer Dark? A marabout trying to resist the French?

I can't read German or French. If books have been published about Paris and/or Berlin they'll be unread by me sadly.
