What role-playing games based on the Cthulhu Mythos exist?
The only game based on the Cthulhu Mythos is Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu, which was recently inducted into the Gamer’s Hall of Fame and has won many different awards. Chaosium has given such companies as Pagan Publishing and Triad Entertainments (P. O. Box 90, Lockport NY 14095) permission to put out supplements for Call of Cthulhu, and I heartily advise looking for their stuff. There is a good COC page here, and the Berkeley FTP archive is also worth exploring. You can also check out the gaming resources on Berglund’s The Cthulhu Mythos on the Internet. Aside from COC, there’s not really that much out there. TSR once put out an edition of their Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia which included the Cthulhu Mythos, but were forced to remove these beings when Arkham House complained. The GURPS game has a Cthulhupunk sourcebook which moves Cthulhu into cyberpunk territory. Some other games, such as Werewolf and Mage from White Wolf, have some Cthulhoid elements, but only in small quantities.
