Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Miskatonic Repository / Chaosium
A chilling Call of Cthulhu adventure
The year is 1899. The HMS Endeavor, a Royal Navy vessel outfitted for scientific discovery, is braving the Arctic seas in search of uncharted knowledge. But as the ship becomes trapped in the crushing grip of the polar ice, the crew soon discovers that the frozen wastes conceal more than storms and starvation.
In the endless night of the Arctic winter, an ancient terror stirs beneath the ice—an alien force older than mankind, its motives unknowable. Trapped in a world of howling winds and shifting sea ice, the investigators will be forced to explore the long-buried secrets, fend off dangers and despair, and confront the horrors that lurks in the frozen deep.
Inside you’ll find:
- A fully detailed Royal Navy expedition vessel, with key crew NPCs as well as PCs roles and suggestions.
- Rules for skill challenges aimed at enduring the perils of polar survival.
- A twisting narrative of paranoia, mystery, and cosmic dread, designed for 3–6 players.
- Multiple possible endings, ranging from heroic sacrifice to utter annihilation.
Will the investigators uncover the truth behind of what lurks beneath the ice, or will they vanish into the snow, another mystery swallowed by the Arctic night?
