Nocturnum

Role-Playing Games

Nocturnum is a campaign setting for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game, created by Christian T. Petersen and published by Fantasy Flight Games. It first appeared as a trilogy of adventures, Long Shades (1997), Hollow Winds (1998) and Deep Secrets (1999), which were set in contemporary times rather than the core game's 1920s and introduced a new mythos race and a darker background atmosphere. The trilogy was reprinted for the d20 version of the game in 2002, making it one of the few materials produced for that ill-fated edition. The story begins in Snowflake, a small Colorado town, where the investigators gather at the Clearwater Hotel and are blamed for the killing of a guest. In truth a werewolf in thrall to a Shk'ryth, an entity plotting to destroy humanity, is responsible.
