[translated from the back of the book]
Worldly catastrophes are a balancing act between the fight for one's own survival and helping other people and represent an extreme situation that can traumatize those involved forever. But what happens when the Cthulhu mythos is added to these events? Then you have a drama that is exaggerated by myth elements.
Very different combinations of Cthulhu mythos and catastrophes are the theme of the five adventures presented here, some of which draw on historical events:
In "The Call of Legrasse" (Der Ruf des Legrasse), New Orleans is flooded!
In "Underground" (Unter Tage) there is a mine accident!
"Sugar-Sweet Death" (Zuckersüßer Tod) revolves around the molasses disaster in Boston!
"Death Fog" (Todesnebel) is set against the backdrop of smog in London!
"Fire and Ashes" (Feuer und Asche) includes a conflagration near Berkeley!
A short source section also provides background information on disasters and tips on how to integrate them into your own adventures.
