Call of Cthulhu 7E: Pulp Cthulhu

If you’ve ever wished your Call of Cthulhu investigators could punch a cultist, glare down a Deep One, or survive more than one ill-advised expedition, Pulp Cthulhu is here to grant that heroic power-up. This supplement transforms the classic, fragile investigator into a tougher, faster, two-fisted pulp hero—still facing the horrors of the Mythos, but with a fighting chance and a sense of cinematic swagger.

Inside, you’ll find an adapted character creation system, rules for psychic abilities, weird science, sanity, and boosted skills, plus guidance for Keepers on how to shift their games into full pulpy adventure mode. It also dives into the history and style of the 1930s, offers ready-made villains and organizations, and includes four action-packed scenarios to kick off your campaign with energy (and probably an explosion or two).

Whether you’re playing in the classic 1920s, the Depression-era pulp scene, or even modern-day settings, Pulp Cthulhu gives you the tools to blend cosmic dread with cliffhanger heroics—letting your investigators stand tall before the darkness instead of just running from it.
