Cthulhu: Berlin World Capital of Sin (Hardcover), 280 pages (DE edition)
Berlin between the world wars is a city of hedonism and bustle, a city where you can get anything for the right price. War invalids, prostitutes, penniless immigrants and political agitators stand shoulder to shoulder with businessmen, scholars and artists. While communists and nationalists fight each other and the police, the cabarets offer music, dance and bawdy entertainment. In this melting pot, the forces of the Cthulhu myth flourish and question the very nature of humanity.
This book won not one but two awards at the 2020 UK Games Expo Awards: 'Best Role-Playing Expansion' at the Judge's Award and the People's Choice Award! It highlights various aspects of the city in the 1920s without getting lost in a maze of details irrelevant to the game: Sights, nightlife, crime, celebrities, special establishments and cabarets, cults as well as the supernatural set the stage and three adventures with a wide variety of threats bring the world capital of sin to life:
- In The Devil Eats Flies, the task is to save a Russian princess in exile while the ghost of a maniacal serial killer haunts the city
- In Dances of Vice, Horror and Ecstasy, a botched spell, a corrupted dancer and an obscure cult drive the city itself to the brink of madness
- In Schreckfilm, it is the city's film industry that could bring down the walls between reality and illusion
