Contents
Cthulhu Classics is an anthology containing a previously published campaign and five shorter adventures that were previously published in Cthulhu Companion, Curse of the Cthonians, Shadows of Yog-Sothoth, and Terror from the Stars. These include:
- "Shadows of Yog-Sothoth", the first Call of Cthulhu campaign published by Chaosium in 1982 — seven sequential adventures that pit Investigators against the Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight, who are attempting to raise the lost city of R'lyeh from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, thereby unleashing the Elder God Cthulhu.[2]
- "The Warren"
- "Dark Carnival"
- "The Pits of Bendal-Dolum"
- "Temple of the Moon"
- "Secret of Castronegro", in which a New Mexico town is under the influence of a sinister force[2]
There are also several player handouts that can be removed from the book.[1]
