"The summer of 74 burned hot. I remember being stood on that beach, soaked in blood, the Mediterranean sky wider than you can imagine. The smell of 630 and cypress and burning tyres. I remember turning away from the carnage we’d been ordered to wreak. I remember seeing the Others coming out of the water. I remember a voice louder than God screaming. I don’t remember anything after that."

Agents of Section 46 may be assigned almost anywhere on Earth, to carry out objectives for which they are unprepared, with minimal material support and no official sanction. They may have to perform acts that leave them psychologically scarred, consumed with self-loathing or growing ever-emptier inside, unable to maintain healthy relationships, only connecting with fellow human beings as covers or as preludes to betrayal.

They will be in regular physical danger, evading those who would arrest, torture or kill them, forced in turn to inflict pain and suffering on often-undeserving targets. And then there is the truly unpleasant side to their work…

Covert Actions is a collection of six ready-to-play scenarios for World War Cthulhu: Cold War, the 1970s espionage setting for Call of Cthulhu.

• Puddles become Lakes: A routine, if unpleasant mission to silence a nosy journalist proves more complicated than first thought
• The Forcing Move: Reality crumbles around the 1972 Reykjavik World Chess Championship
• Cadenza: The Turkish Invasion of Cyprus echoes with deep secrets and hard choices
• The Guardians of the Forest: East Timor Descends into bloodshed and atrocity, and agents find themselves forced to decide which enemy they must defeat.
• Operation Header: The Arctic holds more than abandoned Distant Early Warning listening posts.
• The Unclean: The agents are activated to investigate a death cult in Moscow. What could possibly go wrong?

Covert Actions is a 176 page softcover, with black and white interior.

Written by Chad Bowser, Matthew Dawkins, Scott Dorward, Nick Robinson, Matthew Sanderson, Ken Spencer.
Illustrated by Scott Purdy, Jon Hodgson, Sam Manley.

Covert Actions requires the World War Cthulhu: Cold War core setting book and Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition to play.

On 16th July, 1940, Winston Churchill told the newly appointed head of the Special Operations Executive, to “set Europe ablaze”. With this simple instruction Churchill set in motion some of the most dangerous and brilliant actions of the Second World War. The men and women of SOE performed acts of sabotage, subversion and espionage so extraordinary that if they were portrayed as fiction, they would beggar belief. These agents pushed bravery and human endurance past limits that most of us can only imagine.

Europe Ablaze presents six missions demanding such resourcefulness and determination, all set in the European theatre of operations. Some are inspired by SOE missions or historical events, while others take a more imaginative view of the conflict, but all are rooted in the all-too-real horrors that the Second World War brought about. All of them add that special twist that being part of N’s network demands, and the dangers of the Mythos will prove at least as deadly as a bullet from the Gestapo.

The night is black, with only burning buildings and searchlights to guide you. High-explosive bombs bring death with only a brief whistle as warning. Everyone talks about the threat of invasion, or how they miss having bellies full of real food. You sing songs and huddle with those you love to try to keep the darkness and fear away.

But there are far stranger threats in that darkness than German bombs: explosions release twisted forms from their forgotten prisons, inhuman scavengers are drawn by the carnage to feast; and opportunistic cults use the chaos of war to obscure their sinister plans.

War has come to London and to Cthulhu Britannica, bringing unimaginable horrors with it! No air raid shelter or gas mask will save you now! Designed to work with both the World War Cthulhu and Cthulhu Britannica lines, this supplement brings the horrors of war and the Mythos to London in the 1940s.

It includes rules for creating wartime characters, as well as background for what life was like in London during the Blitz and what threats might lurk in the blackout.

The Special Operations Executive were tasked with some of the most daring and dangerous covert actions of the Second World War, from sabotaging power plants to establishing resistance cells in occupied Europe. Yet for the agents of Network N, fighting the Nazis is just one part of their war.

Drawing from real Special Operations Executive training materials and catalogues, the SOE Handbook for World War Cthulhu presents players and Keepers with a wealth of information about combat techniques, tradecraft, the ungentlemanly art of sabotage and the sometimes bizarre weapons and equipment developed for Britain's secret war. Plentiful sidebars translate these techniques and items into Call of Cthulhu game mechanics. The book is also peppered with notes from the mysterious N, steering members of his network through the added complications of applying this knowledge to battles with more eldritch foes.

The SOE Handbook also presents details of a selection of SOE training facilities and the sometimes eccentric personalities who may be encountered there. This allows the Keeper to include mission-specific training, along with the occasional side mission on home soil, as part of their campaign.

128 pages, softcover, black and white interior.

Written by Scott Dorward and Martin Dougherty, illustrated by Jon Hodgson and Scott Purdy.

Featuring new, full-length scenarios, rules variants, source material, Keeper's tips, and insightful columns, Worlds of Cthulhu explores Call of Cthuhlu through a roleplaying perspective, spotlighting all aspects of H.P. Lovecraft's Mythos, from the popular 1920's Classic and Gaslight, to the modern and Dark Ages eras.

Lovecraftian Tales of the Great Race and Time Travel

The planet Yith is the home of the Great Race, a place inspiring H.P. Lovecraft and other authors to pen classic tales of travel through Time and Space. In "The Shadow Out of Time" (here with new, purified text) there is implicit a very different view of Homo Sapiens origins, derived directly from the modern mythology of the Theosophical Society. HPL often mentioned Theosophy as a kind of foil and precedent for his own Mythos in his stories. This collection includes tales of Yith both famous and obscure, replete with time travel, mind-exchange, and thrilling vistas of primordial history set in context that enables new readers and long-time Lovecraftian fans alike to enjoy them.

Includes short stories by H.P. Lovecraft, August W. Derleth, Richard L. Tierney and many others.

This book is part of an expanding collection of Cthulhu Mythos horror fiction and related topics. Call of Cthulhu fiction focuses on single entities, concepts, or authors significant to readers and fans of H.P. Lovecraft.

The career-spanning short works of Alan Moore are collected here with over 50 pages of additional material that was not in the original mini series as well as over 100 pages of the collected Yuggoth Creatures! Added in are fascinating obscure interviews about the man, his craft, and magic as well as essays from Moore himself and loads of additional new artwork!

The magical mind of Alan Moore is unleashed in this tome. Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths features tons of Alan's classic short sequential comic book stories that have been long out of print, stories that have never before been seen, and special developmental sections with original script pages and comments from Alan and the creators.

Included is the amazing Nightjar, a story written 20 years ago to run in legendary British comic anthology Warrior Magazine, but never fully drawn. With art by Bryan Talbot, the first part of the story is finally illustrated and sees print here along with Moore's notes on where the series was originally going to go. As a special bonus, we include Alan's original script.

Also included is the story Zaman's Hill, originally written for Moore's aborted novel titled Yuggoth Cultures, now seen in sequential form by master illustrator Juan Jose Ryp!

Furthermore, two long lost collaborations with Bryan Talbot, the classic Itchy Peterson story illustrated by Val Semieks, a short story drawn by Mike Wolfer, a short adapted by Antony Johnston and illustrated by Marat Mychaels, and story by Hunt Emerson, and another Lovecraftian story illustrated by Jacen Burrows!

Rounding out the works is a piece that is vital to any fan's Alan Moore collection, 'I Keep Coming Back' with art by Oscar Zarate. This powerful story set in Whitechapel is a Coda to the masterpiece From Hell! Of course, all the material is written by Alan Moore himself!

This massive volume has an extensive interview with Moore as he discusses Yuggoth Cultures, the stories inside, and some of the amazing tales the lead to their creation as well as the real magic behind the works. As if that wasn't enough, Antony Johnston's Yuggoth Creatures, a work inspired by Yuggoth Cultures and the worlds of HP Lovecraft, is included and features all-star art by Juan Jose Ryp, Jacen Burrows, Dheeraj Verma, and many more along with copious notes on the Lovecraftian origins of the tales.
