Green and Pleasant Land is a supplement published by Games Workshop and Chaosium in 1987 for the horror role-playing game Call of Cthulhu.
In an effort to expand the possibilities for Call of Cthulhu campaign settings outside New England, Green and Pleasant Land provides relevant background material about Great Britain as a campaign setting in the 1920s and 1930s.[1]
The content includes:
- new rules for creating British characters, including how military service during World War I will affect a character's sanity
- occult activities in Great Britain in the post-World War I period
- a timeline of important events in Britain during the first three decades of the 20th century
- the cost of common goods, vehicles and weapons
- notable personalities[2]
There are three short adventures included:
- "The Horror in the Glen" (a murder investigation in Scotland)
- "Death in the Post" (investigating an onslaught of threatening letters to prominent people)
- "The Shadow Over Darkbank" (a boating holiday turns to horror inside an old canal tunnel)[2]
There is also a short story, "The Running Man", by Brian Lumley.[2]
