Forty days from now, a dark cult will congregate somewhere in the United States to summon a cosmic entity of infinite horror! The only hope for the world is a group of four intrepid investigators who will stop at nothing to find the necessary clues, identify the cult, and stop the great ritual before it is too late! Four Against the Great Old Ones is a game of Lovecraftian dread and horror set in the 1930s. It is an old-school pen-and-paper game that can be enjoyed in solitaire, cooperatively, or as an RPG-lite. It is a standalone game based on the Four against Darkness system, modified to include Insanity, Helpers, 8 new main characters, a unique clue system, 6 possible final encounters (each a full mini-game), and more. Narrative-driven and true to its source material, Four Against the Great Old Ones will provide you with a deep immersion in Lovecraft's world. The game is designed to be challenging, and will require determination, bravery, skill, and favorable astral alignments to win. Do you dare to pursue this dangerous investigation? Do you dare to face the Great Old Ones?

Dawning Horror is a set of 5 programmed adventures for Four against the Great Old Ones. In each adventure, you will control an Investigator and three Helpers who are facing supernatural horrors for the first time. Be it in a limestone mine in Indiana, in the cryptic gorges of Kentucky, in a Chicago museum, during an expedition to Antarctica, or in an isolated community on the Ramapo Mountains, your Investigator will find plenty of reasons to doubt their sanity and fear for their life! This expansion includes two new playable Investigators: the Archaeologist and the Redeemed Cultist. Dawning Horror also functions as a prequel to Four against the Great Old Ones, since some advantages you may gain can be transported to Four against the Great Old Ones in the form of Upgraded Investigators.

The stories are legendary, the characters unforgettable, the world horrible and disturbing. Howard Phillips Lovecraft may have been a writer for only a short time, but the creations he left behind after his death in 1937 have shaped modern horror more than any other author in the last two centuries: the shambling god Cthulhu, and the other deities of the Elder Things, the Outer Gods, and the Great Old Ones, and Herbert West, Reanimator, a doctor who unlocked the secrets of life and death at a terrible cost. In Lovecraft Unbound, more than twenty of today's most prominent writers of literature and dark fantasy tell stories set in or inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

"The Great Old Ones" consists of a set of six scenarios for Call of Cthulhu: "The Spawn" is in the Wild West, with Indians, Wobblies, and bad guys; "Still Waters" is an adventure for people who hate to lend books; "Tell Me, Have You Seen the Yellow Sign?" makes a symbolic stop-over in New Orleans; "One In Darkness" features South Boston hoodlums; "The Pale God" introduces investigators to an unusual contract; "Bad Moon Rising" is an experience to remember. The adventures can be presented in sequence, as a loose campaign; limited cross-references allow the scenarios to stand independently.
