What The Critics Say
“The new Gaslight supplement is a beautiful book, filled with exhaustive research that's fully applicable to playing Call of Cthulhu in this setting… I love how they've expanded the game to involve characters from all classes of society; games can be like Dickens novels! Good show, Chaosium, good show!”
Sean Branney, H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.
“Masterful… a must have.”
Susurros desde la Oscuridad, Cthulhu by Gaslight Investigator's Guide.
“One of my favorite settings is the Gaslight era (late 1800’s), which puts the Cthulhu Mythos in the same time as Jack the Ripper. Cthulhu by Gaslight Investigator’s Guide is basically the 7E based rules for running the game including character creation, skill use, setting background, combat and more… an absolutely fantastic book.”
EuroCultAV, EuroCultAV Holiday Gift Guide 2024.
“Cthulhu by Gaslight is a robust product, and players will be spoiled with new material if they want to take on the 19th-century Lovecraftian horrors.”
The British Fantasy Society, Cthulhu by Gaslight: Investigators’ Guide by Barton, Hardy, Mason, McDonald, Ross and Wade.
“Lots of games have touched on the period, but few have managed it to the level of detail and clarity offered here.”
Refereeing and Reflection, A Victorian Antique Restored: Cthulhu By Gaslight Investigators’ Guide.
“An absolutely fantastic supplement, possibly one of the best setting books released for the seventh edition of Call of Cthulhu… a fluid and easy read, with excellent graphics that include brilliant art and cartography.”
Mundo Tentacular, RPG of the Month: Cthulhu by Gaslight Review - Lovecraft's Horror in the Victorian Era.
“Offers players a fantastic resource on the historical details of the era… The rules allow investigators of every social class and how to bring them together for a game of supernatural mystery.”
Forbes, Four New Ways To Battle The Cthulhu Mythos Across Time And Space.
“It’s easier than ever for everyone to do their own research online but there’s something to be said for a book written by talented writers who know the sorts of information a game needs. Wikis can be useful but they can also be lacking in important context and sources. This book is full of interesting information for any campaign in the era. It’s the best Victorian sourcebook I’ve read since Comme Il Faute.”
