Hudson & Brand: Shadows of the Past
Hudson & Brand: Shadows of the Past by Stygian Fox Publishing is a Cthulhu by Gaslight adventure anthology. The Things we leave behind is one of the best Call of Cthulhu scenario anthologies in my opinion, so if this book is just half as good, it’s still going to be great!

After several very succesful kickstarters, Delphes is now funding hand-crafted props for the final chapters of the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
