Stygian Fox Publishing return with their latest licensed Call of Cthulhu scenario, The Wild Hunt. This time the characters will be part of a hunt across New England, from New York to Boston, to thwart an ancient horror and a very modern evil…
The Wild Hunt is an ancient Celtic myth about a force that rampages through the countryside: killing evil-doers and causing havoc.
But what if there is a certain truth behind it?
Breaking off from the main Irish rebel organisation, a splinter group has discovered a means of summoning the Wild Hunt to do their bidding and aid them in their criminal enterprise.
Except it has not gone to plan. Their binding knowledge is poor and the entities of the Wild Hunt strain against their bonds. The splinter group is holding a hungry tiger by the tail and can only keep the Hunt busy lest it turn on them. They seek out the Investigators and endeavour to strike a devil's bargain; help them end or control the monsters, or see them create a bloodbath the likes the North-East of America has never seen.
Can the rebel group be trusted?
Can the Investigators walk away and live with their decision?
Can the Wild Hunt be controlled? And by whom?
It is time for you to find out!
The book will also contain the main adventure written by Tyler Omichinski, NPCs, plans, scenario seeds, and options to expand the Investigators' dealings with the Wild Hunt. Layout will be by Stephanie McAlea, but we'd like to add further art by creators we admire and trust to deliver. This is where the Kickstarter funds come in.
Taking its inspirational cues from Celtic myth, classic monsters, and H.P. Lovecraft, the book takes a mature look at the horror of Mythos interpretations by historic cultures and will also summarise the tragedy of terrorism, self-determination, and their links to organised crime. There will also be information on how Celtic cultures in Britain and Ireland re-interpret the mythos to fit their cultural narrative and, as the subjects within can be sensitive for many, this book is for mature gamers only.
The Wild Hunt for Call of Cthulhu by Stygian Fox Publishing is live on Kickstarter until Thursday 1st March 2018.
