Cthulhu by Gaslight: Investigator's Guide

Adventure, Mystery, & Horror in the Late Victorian Era

The late 1880s—Victorian England. Mystery and adventure in fog-shrouded streets and alleyways. Secret cabals pledge to bring horror and the ruin of civilisation. Grisly murder and wicked crimes.

Cthulhu by Gaslight takes the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game back to the days of Queen Victoria. Whether in Great Britain or its colonies, or beyond to the banks of East Coast USA or the lands of Asia, the Victorian Age brims over with wonder and dark shadows.

Inside, you'll find:

• A New Setting - The 1880s—Victorian England. Mystery and adventure in fog-shrouded streets and alleyways. Secret cabals commit grisly murder, wicked crimes, and pledge to bring about the ruin of civilisation—all within the square mile of the City of London.


• The Complete Rules - Cthulhu by Gaslight is a stand-alone game, and contains the complete rules for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, including character creation. You do not need a copy of the Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook or Call of Cthulhu: Starter Set to play. The Cthulhu by Gaslight: Investigators’ Guide can be enhanced with the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game as well as the Pulp Cthulhu supplement, both available separately.


• Everything You Need - A complete list of weapons and equipment appropriate for the Gaslight-period. Rules for exploring in the 1890s, and extensive information on Fringe Science and the Occult practices of the time. The book also includes 10 pre-generated Cthulhu by Gaslight Investigators.
