Call of Cthulhu: Innsmouth is a new campaign sourcebook for the most infamous town in Lovecraft’s New England.

Beset by Deep Ones and Dagon worshippers, specifically. But you know, strangeness in general clings to the town like the stain of oil smoke.

And in the newest Call of Cthulhu sourcebook, Innsmouth, you can finally delve into the dark corners of that infamous town. Because CoC: Innsmouth is a sandbox campaign setting gazetteer, and it’s available now, let’s take a look!

“Innsmouth is the definitive guide to the rotting seaport town – one of the most iconic settings for Call of Cthulhu.

Once a thriving seaport on the Massachusetts coast during the 19th century, a dark shadow has fallen over Innsmouth. Some say old Captain Obed Marsh made a pact with the Devil, while others tell stranger and more wicked tales. In the early 1920’s, the towns former glories are long forgotten, and wise folk keep away. Secrets have a currency in Innsmouth, and the unwary pay a high price for asking the wrong questions.”

As a Keeper, you’ll find seeds for adventure and worse scattered throughout. Over 100 different locations are written up in detail, with more than 80 characters and ready to run encounters awaiting you within its pages.
