Cthulhu Britannica

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Cthulhu Britannica is a series of role-playing game supplements produced by the British game company Cubicle 7 Entertainment for use in the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game produced by Chaosium. The series allows for games to be set in the United Kingdom.

Publication history[edit]

Cubicle 7's Call of Cthulhu license resulted in the Cthulhu Britannica (2009) core book,[1][2]:432 which included five scenarios. Additional books were then released every year until 2012, including Shadows over Scotland.[1] In 2013 a Kickstarter campaign was run in order to produce a boxed set and series of supplements set in London, with the London Boxed Set set being released in the following year. [3]
