• CoCCG - Call of Cthulhu Creature Generator. Now with some mean Basic Role Playing fantasy creatures too!
• Use the 'Search Options' to search the Character Library for an Investigator/NPC. 'Clicking/Selecting' a row in the grid will download the character sheet in PDF format. The Character Library is powered by site members who can choose to share their characters created via the various Dhole's House Character Generator.
• Full access to a Seeds of Terror Call of Cthulhu scenario each month. Including a complete scenario, handouts and maps, plus 4 pre-generated Investigators. Seeds of Terror scenarios bought through DrivethruRPG cost $8.99, saving you almost $4 each month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I create my own rule packs?
A. A more in-depth ByakheeScript programming guide will be released soon. For the moment, use the following quick guide:

• .RUL files contain the skills, weapons and occupations listings.


• .BSB files contain lists of spells.


• .LST files contain a list of options, such as those displayed in the 'Art: ' drop-down list


• .BIS files are ByakheeScript programs which draw the investigator sheets and add fields. ByakheeScript is very similar to JavaScript, except that a few features are missing (and it's a bit buggy :-)

Q. Where is the source code to Byakhee 3?
A. The source code to Byakhee can be accesed at https://github.com/jcfiala/Byakhee

Q. Can I translate Byakhee into another language?
A. It's easy to translate the sheets, handouts and rule packs - just open them in a text editor. Feel free to put them on your web site or whatever once they're done. It's a bit harder to translate the dialogs and messages in the program itself and is beyond the scope of this Q & A.

Known Issues

Byakhee does not function correctly on Windows NT. If the screen resolution is much below 1024x768, the investigator sheet will appear much too small (it will print OK, though). To make matters worse, the cause for this is not known...

Harlem Unbound 2nd Edition is 'an essential Call of Cthulhu 1920s supplement, expanding not just the game we love, but how you view the entire genre and society itself', says esteemed Call of Cthulhu writer Mark Morrison (Horror on the Orient Express, Reign of Terror, Terror Australis, etc).

This is the free 52 page handouts pack for Harlem Unbound containing every player handout for the sourcebook. Print them and use them again and again!

Investigate the Cthulhu Mythos during the Harlem Renaissance! Chris Spivey's ENnie-winning breakthrough book is back and better than ever!

New York City.

Prohibition is in full swing and bootleggers are living high. African-Americans flee the oppressive South for greener pastures, creating a new culture in Harlem. The music of Fats Waller and Duke Ellington pours out of the city’s windows, while women in stylish skirts and silk stockings, and men in white gloves and Chesterfield coats crowd the sidewalks. There’s a feeling of possibility in the air, like never before.

But, even in this land of promise, Harlem is a powder keg, ready to explode. While classes and cultures collide, the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos lurk beneath the streets, creeping through dark alleys and hidden doorways to infect the hopes and aspirations of the unwary.

Can you hold it together and keep the terrors at bay for one more song?

The Skinny on the Goods…

Harlem Unbound 2nd Edition is expanded and improved from the first edition. New areas are shown below:

• Seven scenarios (four new to 2nd Edition).
• Unique occupations tailored to Harlem.
• New Mythos monsters to terrify your players.
• Ready-to-play investigators.
• Random plot generator.
• Crash course on addressing race in gaming

Critical Acclaim for Harlem Unbound 2nd Edition

'Style 5/5, Substance 5/5: Anyone who already bought and enjoyed the first edition should definitely get the second: there's so much more material that it presents almost literally double the content, depth, playable material, and sheer value. For anyone who doesn't have it, Harlem Unbound belongs on just about every Call of Cthulhu or cosmic/investigative horror gamer's shelf.'—Paul StJohn MacIntosh, RPGNet review.

'Harlem Unbound gives raw material for creating journeys as well as destinations... [it is] a strong labor of love that combines both passion for a vital time and place in American history with a deep pool to draw various strains of horror, both familiar and unfamiliar, into the Call of Cthulhu game. I love this book and cannot recommend it enough.'— Never Read the Latin.

'A R’lyeh different perspective'— Dicebreaker.

'Somewhere along the line Cthulhu campaign settings have made the realization that it isn't all about having a backdrop for horror. Investigators have lives, loves, and reasons to fight the forces of the Mythos. Thus, the richer the setting, the more incentive the players have to care about it, and frankly it doesn't get richer than Harlem Unbound.'— Andrew Logan Montgomery, Exploring the Otherworlds of Fiction, Magic, and Gaming.

'An expansion of Call of Cthulhu, Chaosium’s wildly popular tabletop roleplaying game based on Lovecraftian lore... Spivey’s critically lauded expansion of the game is a landmark for both the tabletop roleplaying world and for Lovecraftian literature. It focuses on the Harlem Renaissance and assumes that all players, regardless of their real world ethnicity, will be stepping into the shoes of a black, indigenous, person of color in that time period. The book is an engrossing historical tome as well as a literal guidebook for meaningfully exploring racism in Lovecraftian fiction.'— Consequence of Sound.

'Chaosium absolutely do not half-ass this new edition of the book, and nor should they have: the original edition of this has been selected for inclusion in the libraries of multiple museums, after all, so we’re talking an RPG supplement of significant artistic merit... With this new edition of Harlem Unbound, Keepers have never been better-supported in presenting this era in Call of Cthulhu.'— Refereeing and Reflection.

'An amazing book and one you need in your Call of Cthulhu collection.'— Rolling Boxcars.

'Strongly Recommended–This product is exceptional, and may contain content that would interest you even if the game or genre covered is outside of your normal interests.'— Gnome Stew.
