The Call of Cthulhu RPG
A Headquarters for Your Investigators!
Now available on DriveThruRPG, here’s a cool download (if I do say so myself) called Map for Investigator Headquarters – Proteus Institute for Esoteric Studies. This is one of they key locations in my current campaign. It’s a labor of love to make these kinds of maps, I use DungeonFog, and it’s great fun. Here’s […]
Minimal Backstories in Call of Cthulhu
Possibly controversial game master opinion. Minimal backstories only in Call of Cthulhu. Characters may die at any point so start faster with little baggage. Character will be revealed by actions. For GMs, ignore this if you are tying your adventure tightly to the characters. #ttrpg #callofcthulhu — SanityFree Adventures (@sanityfree.com) 2025-01-26T17:11:43.947Z
The Best Seat for Watching Call of Cthulhu Is Right in the Middle
Witness one of my cats, who is very social and really likes company, plopping himself down during the middle of game map and materials during a recent Call of Cthulhu scenario. This does disrupt the immersion a bit, but perhaps I’ll run a game sometime with a cat kaiju and thus have a ready-made NPC […]
“Blank” – A 1920s Call of Cthulhu Adventure, Maps, and Music!

(If you are a Call of Cthulhu player, try not to read this, but instead send it to your game master if your group is looking for a fun and creepy idea for game.) As I write this, we are approaching a spooky time of year. For those who are looking for ways to entertain […]

Maps for Curio – A 1920s Adventure for Call of Cthulhu
Available on DriveThruRPG! Some time ago, I wrote a scenario — Curio – A 2-Page 1920s Adventure for Call of Cthulhu – Miskatonic Repository — that starts out in antique shop. (It later continues in a nightclub.) But if you’d like maps for running that adventure and to see what the antique shop is like, […]
Playing The Dare from Sentinel Hill Press? How About Some Maps?
Hello, Gamemasters! I have been inspired by The Dare, written by Kevin A. Ross and published by Sentinel Hill Press. I have heard it is a favorite one-shot, especially for Halloween, and the 1980s setting certainly conjures memories for those of a certain vintage, which includes me. It’s a bit of a refreshing change from […]
Dissonance – A 1-Page 1920s Adventure for Call of Cthulhu
Convalescence, my first Call of Cthulhu scenario, was a labor of love (and Lovecraft) and the focus of my first effort as part of the RPG Writer’s Workshop from Storytelling Collective. After quite a few successful outings as a Keeper — I mean, I survived them, and isn’t that the important thing? — it was […]
