A Brand-New Call of Cthulhu scenario
Featured in this issue is a new Call of Cthulhu scenario by our very own Matthew Sanderson, entitled “The Blue”.
It is the near future, in the aftermath of the global pandemic. The investigators have been hired by the Bahamas National Trust to conduct a survey of a newly formed blue hole near Conception Island. If the site is declared safe and stable, the intention is to market it as a new dive site, thus attracting tourists and providing a much-needed boost to the local economy. If only they knew what was waiting down in the blue…
The cover comes from our good friend John Sumrow, whose work adorns many of our past issues. We also have illustrations from some favourite eldritch artists, including Evan Dorkin, Lucy Fricker, Nefeli Mandilaras and John Sumrow.
