Back Cover Text

BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS

"Little by little they rose grimly into the western sky; allowing us to witness various bare, bleak and blackened summits . . . in the reddish Antarctic light against the provacative background of iridescent ice-dust clouds. In the whole spectacle there was a persistent, pervasive hint of stupendous secrecy and potential revelation . . . I could not help feeling that they were evil things -- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss."

-- H.P. Lovecraft

For greater enjoyment of this epic campaign, read "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft found in the companion book THE ANTARKTOS CYCLE by Chaosium. Players will enjoy the handouts, expedition patch, decals, and more in the MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY (R) ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION PACK.

Comments / Trivia

This campaign is intended as a sequel to H.P. Lovecraft's novel At the Mountains of Madness (fiction)

To date, this book stands as the largest single campaign for Call of Cthulhu, both in terms of page count and expected duration of play (by a significant margin)
