Chaosium’s ‘Regency Cthulhu Collection’ – Pride and Prejudice and Unspeakable Horrors Abound
Chaosium’s new Regency Cthulhu Collection collects everything you need to play Call of Cthulhu in the time of Jane Austen’s England.
Some truths are better left unacknowledged altogether, like the unknowable elder things that lurk in the darkness between the stars or the ways of magic that call upon the dark designs of the elder gods. Through the lens of the Cthulhu Mythos, Regency England, specifically the kind of Jane Austen-type scenarios because that’s what Chaosium’s focus is (and it’s delicious), is full of unspeakable horrors alongside the regular, speakable ones.
Call it Shoggoths and Sensibility, or The Horror that Lurks Beneath Northanger Abbey if you prefer. But Now, you too, can explore the weird world of Cthulhu and Regency times!
Regency Cthulhu Collection – New Horrors in Jane Austen’s England
The bundle gives you a huge jump start and discount on the Regency Cthulhu sourcebook, as well as the latest version of the Call of Cthulhu core rules, and on top of all that you also get a book full of adventures: Host and Hostility.
Regency England: a time of social niceties, grand balls, romantic intrigues, and disappointments—as described in the novels of Jane Austen. Through the lens of the Cthulhu Mythos, horrors weave themselves into the hearts of everyday Georgians—from the richest to the poorest.
Details and history of Regency-era England (1811-1820), that help bring this unique period to life at your tabletop. Included are new rules for creating special, Regency-era Investigators, along with new skills and occupations unique to this slice of history.

In Host and Hostility, you get three different scenarios, all designed for one on one play. So you only need a GM and a single player. Each scenario unfurls in a single session of 2-4 hours, and each paints a broad enough picture of the Regency Cthulhu setting. You’ll find everything from weird science to “high-mythos” (so many tentacles), and don’t worry, there is a lake in at least one of these scenarios, so you can still live out all your Wet Mr. Darcy dreams.
And also Cthulhu horrors.
And remember, marriage and terrible truths often go hand in hand.
