‘Cthulhu By Gaslight’s Keeper’s Guide Is Available Now – Bring Horror To Victorian London
Cthulhu and Victorian London are a match made in the dark abyss of sleeping R’lyeh. And the new Keeper’s Guide seals the pact.
There’s an awful lot of talk in Call of Cthulhu about what will happen when the stars are right. Stellar alignment plays a crucial role in a lot of things. Even in real life, we wait for the stars to be right to try to get that promotion or ask our crush on an ill-fated date to the Innsmouth seaside for a romantic picnic.
The point is, the stars are finally right for you to get your hands on the Cthulhu by Gaslight Keeper’s Guide. This is the indispensable GM’s guide to running eldritch horror adventures in the world of Victorian London.
As you’ll see from the book’s description, there’s more to playing Cthulhu in Victorian England than just making your NPCs say “blimey” every now and again.

First of all, what a heady cocktail this book is. Eldritch horror and Victorian London go hand in hand. It’s the obsession with the occult, the fluttering invernesses, the flickering gaslights, and the horrors of industrialized class disparity make for an excellent backdrop to your shoggoths and whatever else.
And the book is your guide to unlocking the possibilities contained within. You’ll find all manner of helpful guidelines. But many GMs will be intrigued by the Gazetteer of Fear—over 100 locations across Britain and beyond. This means you’ll be able to keep players running in circles, chasing down the cultists they’re desperately trying to stop.
Or take a dive into the many strange organizations and secret societies, like the Order of the Golden Dawn (which was a real occult society) that you’ll find in the book.
Of course, there’s plenty more to dig through in the book:
“The Cthulhu by Gaslight: Keeper’s Guide includes rules for Monsters and Mythos elements unique to 1890s Britain. Inside, you’ll also find new occult-based skills, tomes, spells, and rules for combat upon the astral plane!
In addition to many scenario seeds to help spark all-new Cthulhu by Gaslight stories of your own design, the book includes two introductory scenarios, both designed for players new to the setting.”
