(RPG PDF Spotlight) China Clipper

China Clipper

Call of Cthulhu Sourcebook by Miskatonic Repository / Chaosium

The Pan American Airways flying boat service from San Francisco to Hong Kong in the late 1930s epitomised luxury air travel and adventure in the exotic Pacific and Far East for the era – an image further reinforced by the opening of a route to New Zealand in 1940.

This extensively researched sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition and Pulp Cthulhu is the companion piece for The Kangaroo Route and covers the Pan American Airways “Clipper” flying boat services from San Francisco to Hong Kong in 1937 and from San Francisco to Auckland in 1940.

In addition to historical information on the Martin M-130 and Boeing 314 Flying Boats and the China and New Zealand flight routes, China Clipper also contains:

– Adventure hooks for:

  • San Francisco
  • Honolulu
  • Midway Island
  • Wake Island
  • Guam
  • Manila
  • Macao
  • Hong Kong
  • Los Angeles
  • Canton Island
  • Noumea
  • Auckland

– Aircraft crew and passenger NPCs

– Information for converting the popular Chaosium-published scenario The Lightless Beacon for use with China Clipper

– Information on other Miskatonic Repository scenarios which can be used with China Clipper

– Maps for the Pacific Island and major city stopovers

– And more!

Whether your Investigators are heading to China or New Zealand as part of an adventure, need to get far away from something Mythos-related as quickly as possible, or just want a holiday, China Clipper has everything you need to bring it to life as part of your next Call of Cthulhu game.

China Clipper is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
