So pretty. And shiny!
Cthulhu City is one of Pelgrane Press’s supplements for Trail of Cthulhu, and it’s rather good. I know this because I got the PDF ahead of the print book, and I’ve read it already. It’s packed full of Lovecraftian goodness, all mixed in an excellent mix that works well for an urban campaign. Plus, I like Pelgrane’s design aesthetic when it comes to Trail of Cthulhu. Very elegant and high-toned.
Time to make what Charlie Ross calls a save vs. shiny roll:
Sprawling across both banks of the mouth of the Miskatonic River, Innsmouth is home to Great Arkham’s docklands and a sizeable proportion of its industry. https://t.co/Kz0Jvd7AGt pic.twitter.com/bkThE3h4t4

…Oh, who am I kidding? Cthulhu City is precisely the sort of Trail of Cthulhu supplement that I’d buy on sight, and Pelgrane Press knows it. There was never any hope for me. Save yourself!

PS: Basically, it looks like they’re combining Cthulhu, urban noir, and probably Lovecraft’s deep-seated loathing of any city that wasn’t Providence into one big, happy pile. Fun!
