A Mind-Bending Campaign for Pulp Cthulhu
By Christopher Smith Adair
Brendan Sterling sought answers in experimental past-life regression. Unfortunately, his mind isnt the only one seeking answers in the past.
A Cold Fire Within is a campaign for Pulp Cthulhu. Set in 1935, a missing persons case leads to the discovery of a foul plot that could change time itself and bring disaster to the world. A cult intent on unleashing the power of the Great Old Ones leaves a trail through the Catskill Mountains and into the very heart of the planet!
Within the subterranean world of Kn-yan, the heroes will encounter forgotten secrets, strange lore, and bewildering inhabitants. Curious cities of gold, ruined temples, and dark forests are just some of the terrors that lurk below the ground. Yet, before the heroes descend into nightmare, they must contend with remnants of ancient worlds, unruly mountain people, and psychic devilry. Along the way, the heroes may find that going back to the end of an ancient city is the only answer! Perhaps in Lomars doom shall they unlock the secrets of both past and present.
A complete six-part campaign for Pulp Cthulhu, A Cold Fire Within presents new rules and skills for psychic powersParapsychology, Dematerialization, and Telepathynew spells, details of the people and lands of Kn-yan, as well as a new hero organizationthe Open Mind Group.
