After Lovecraft: The Cold Case of Robert Suydam Now Available!

September 23rd, 2009 2 Comments

We had the great opportunity to work with the incredibly awesome Rick Dakan this year on a new line of Call of Cthulhu adventures. The After Lovecraft series uses one of the short stories written by Lovecraft as both the launching point for the adventure, and as an official handout in the game. The idea is that the events in the story happened, and now the PCs are picking up where the story left off days or years later with The Cold Case of Robert Suydam taking place 10 years after the events in The Horror at Redhook. From the back cover text:

Ten years ago, the sinister forces at work in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood coalesced in the events described in the short story: “The Horror at Red Hook.” The abductions, child sacrifices, and public downfall of the previously reclusive and well-respected Robert Suydam were big news at the time, but a decade later those demonic events are nearly forgotten. Only two living people know what really happened that night in Red Hook when devils and demons walked the Earth–an agoraphobic retired police detective named Malone and a very special young girl who wasn’t even born when the events took place.

    Hi, I just bought “After Lovecraft”. I like the layout. The picture on the cover is strange, but I really like that, too. The smaller format is also cool, because I can make a nice booklet. And finally, I like the idea of doing sequals to mythos stories, although I am not sure if it will bring any advantage to the gaming table.

    The reason why I am writing, though, is that the PDF file a pain. It is easy to read on the screen but it took exactly one hour (!) to print it, because the computer had to prepare the file for that time bevor sending it to the printer. I am used to a couple of minutes for 78 pages, but an hour is just horrible.

    Sorry for that, I like your products, but if you ever update the file, I would be glad to get it.

      Hey Andreas,

      Let me see what I can do about getting you a new file. It’s not happening here on my machine at home but I’ll try on another machine with a different printer.

      Hyrum.
