MAN DIES THREE TIMES IN ONE NIGHT!
A shocking headline begins a front-page article in the London Times. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room at the Chelsea Arms Hotel. All were killed similarly, with a stab to the heart. Then, a dear friend's house is consumed by fire, leaving him severely injured. A strange summons, a surreptitious meeting, and the start of a journey of thousands of miles on the legendary rail service that takes investigators to Constantinople, the Gate of the East.
HORROR ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS contains an extensive and legendary campaign, up to nineteen scenarios, for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. Starting in 1920s London, investigators reach Paris and then travel to the ancient city of Constantinople. With a bit of luck, they will also return home.
Optional episodes are set in ancient eras or special locations (Roman era, Dark Ages, Gaslight era, and Dreamlands), so players can experience the foundation, creation, and discovery of crucial elements of this campaign. A modern tail of the plot, an alternative ending for those wishing for a shorter campaign, and a survival guide to help struggling investigators are also included.
The Call of Cthulhu is a horror role-playing game in which ordinary people confront the terrible beings and forces of the Cthulhu Mythos.
