Investigator! This new Trail of Cthulhu Megabundle presents a monstrously large horde of rulebooks, supplements, and sourcebooks for Trail of Cthulhu, the tabletop roleplaying game of eldritch Cthulhu Mythos investigations using the GUMSHOE System from Pelgrane Press. Adventures using the investigative GUMSHOE system (also seen in The Yellow King RPG, Swords of the Serpentine, Night's Black Agents, The Esoterrorists, and others) aren't about hunting for clues but interpreting them – figuring how they solve the mystery. Star designer Kenneth Hite uses his encylopedic knowledge of history and Lovecraftian horror to capture the creeping madness of the 1930s, a time of sweeping cruelty by authoritarian rulers and the Great Old Ones alike.
(Note: In October 2024 Pelgrane Press crowdfunded Trail of Cthulhu Second Edition, which rises inexorably later this year. This Megabundle features the 2008 First Edition rulebook and support line. All First Edition supplements and scenarios are wholly compatible with the forthcoming 2E rulebook. The new edition adds character creation templates, new ability spends, new campaign frames and introductory adventures, and an expanded guide to the Mythos.)
This new Megabundle gathers a dozen titles from six previous bundles, 2013-2021, along with three major additions new to the Bundle of Holding: Fearful Symmetries, The Book of the New Jerusalem, and Cthulhu Apocalypse. Together they give you a case-load of Trail of Cthulhu investigations worthy of the Great Library of Celaeno – everything you need to uncover dark Lovecraftian plots by demented cultists. For just US$17.95 you get all eight titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $128) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Trail of Cthulhu First Edition rulebook along with the free 2024 Second Edition Quickstart; Kenneth Hite's Mythos bestiary Hideous Creatures; the scenario anthologies Out of Time, Out of Space, and Out of the Woods; Shadows Over Filmland by Ken Hite and Robin D. Laws; Ken Hite's treatise on Mythos magic, Rough Magicks; and the Keeper's Resource Book and Screen.
And if you pay more than the threshold price of US$35.25, you'll level up and also get our entire Bonus Collection with seven more titles worth an additional $141, including Fearful Symmetries and its companion occult guide The Book of the New Jerusalem; Cthulhu Apocalypse; Eternal Lies; Cthulhu City; Mythos Expeditions; and The Final Revelation.
Sources: Fearful Symmetries, The Book of the New Jerusalem, and Cthulhu Apocalypse (combined retail value $62) are new to the Bundle of Holding. The remaining 12 titles in this lineup each appeared in one of six previous offers, 2013-2021:
