Trail of Cthulhu is a tabletop RPG by Kenneth Hite, using the GUMSHOE Universal System created by Robin Laws and published by Pelgrane Press, for whom the GUMSHOE system was created. Like its acknowledged inspiration, Call of Cthulhu, it's a game about characters investigating the Cthulhu Mythos and very possibly losing their minds in the process; to differentiate it from the other game, by default it's set in The '30s rather than The Roaring '20s, that is to say, slightly later than most of Lovecraft's stories, but close enough to preserve much the same feel, and with the added human bleakness of the Great Depression.One feature of the game is that the rulebook explicitly notes that it can be played in either of two distinct modes: "Purist", hardcore Cosmic Horror in which everyone is doomed to madness or death and victories (if any) are strictly temporary, or "Pulp", which is likely to feature more Action-Adventure plots and actual successes for the human heroes, maybe veering towards Lovecraft Lite, in the broader tradition of the Pulp Magazines in which Lovecraft originally published. After all, the Cthulhu Mythos features stories in both modes. Some rules and options are specifically marked as applying in only one of the two modes. There is a one-player, one-GM version of the game, Cthulhu Confidential, using the GUMSHOE One-2-One variant rules.It's fair to assume that this game shares a lot of tropes with Call of Cthulhu, and of course with the Cthulhu Mythos in general, for which see those entries.Oh, and remember Old Man Henderson? He originated in a campaign of this game.NOTE: Tropes exclusive to a certain campaign frame like Dreamhounds of Paris or Cthulhu City should be put in their own folders, and noted as such when crosswicked onto trope pages.

comment
Interfaith Smoothie: The Church of the Conciliator's ghastly theology mixes the Mythos with Christian belief, making it more palatable to the city's general populace, although it appears that most church-goers are more than willing to accept the horrors as long as they are cloaked in familiar pomp and ritual.

My Grandson, Myself: John Johnson's main trick for not attracting attention to his immortality is to have his only son go abroad in search of fortune, then fake his death and have his son return to take his place. Of course the son is himself, his actual son being paid off handsomely to be part of the ruse.

comment
Ritual Magic: Rituals are used for major effects such as summoning and binding entities, creating major magical effects, talking to powerful entities, scrying or moving across vast distances in space or time, permanent effects or effects over an area. A ritual also requires a contest, usually against a summoned creature or the fabric of space-time.

Evil Versus Evil: The Esoteric Order of Dagon despises the Church of the Conciliator, viewing them as the wrong sort of ghastly miscegenation of humans and eldritch horrors. The Order serves the Deep Ones, who are of a higher order of being than weak, blind humanity and are thus more worthy of the blessings of the divine. The Church is seen as a greedy upstart that needs to be taught its place.

Brainwashed and Crazy: In 1924, obeying a strange psychic impulse, Paul Éluard travels to Easter Island, leaving behind a letter warning of death to any who dare follow. Gala knows where he is all along, and, realising that the force that brought him to the South Pacific is a sinister one bent on his destruction, she snaps Éluard out of his quasi-hypnotic funk in Saigon. Afterwards, Éluard remembers little of what he did during these months alone.

Not Where They Thought: In the 1890s, during a series of séances, the Geneva medium Catherine-Elise Müller (among other experiences) travelled astrally to Mars. In truth, Müller had visited the Dreamlands, falling under the sway of a sorcerer named Astané. The dream-self of a dead Hindu fakir named Kanga who died dreaming, surviving his physical death, he could reshape the Dreamlands, in this case into the flat towers and red earth that Müller believed to be Mars.

comment
Unreliable Narrator: Information about monsters presented in the core rulebook and Hideous Creatures deliberately contradicts itself, blurring boundaries and erasing certainties in the name of the uncanny. In your campaign, these variant truths might be misunderstandings, legends, heresies or lies spread by the creatures to lull their foes into a false sense of familiarity.

The Spook: A bowler hat, a suit, and a mackintosh is all most people can remember about the elusive Mr Brothers. Tom Haddon sends his letters to Mr Brothers to Brown's and receives his with a St James's post mark, indicating that Mr Brothers' replies are sent from the same or nearby location, but there is no member of the club called Mr Brothers. There are a few competing theories as to the exact nature of Mr Brothers, several of which could be true at once.

comment
The Scottish Trope: It's rude in Great Arkham to ask too many questions about or show too much interest in odd things. Most people don't want to believe that they're trapped in an alien city, and resent discussion of strange things because it breaks their illusions. If your questions make it harder for them to maintain this illusion, then they blame you for their suffering. Other people have adopted ignorance as a survival strategy: if you don't discuss the topic, the topic is less likely to devour you whole. In game terms, asking too many questions openly will draw Suspicion and reduce your Credit Rating.

Ambiguously Human: Most Custodes are vaguely humanoid in outline, but each one is grotesquely unlike the next, a carnival parade of cannibal abominations. It's unclear if they're members of some unknown species of monsters who dwell in the lightness caverns deep below the surface of the earth, or were once human, reduced to their essential salts, adulterated with other powders, and mixed with the salts of serpent and salamander, a pinch of mole-thing and a dusting of shoggoth.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: In the "The Final Revelation" Purist scenario, the player characters must piece together a series of clues that suggest a vague threat to all mankind. In the very end, the characters find out that the horrible and monstrous alien gods they were trying to stop had actually devoured the world long before they even started their investigation. Their minds are totally shattered as the world dissolves into a surreal nightmare from which there is no escape. Talk about a Downer Ending.

Your Magic's No Good Here
 Trail of Cthulhu (Tabletop Game) / int_2905fbec
comment
Your Magic's No Good Here: No initiate magic—nothing tied to the Serpent Folk grid or Albion—works in Greater London. This prevents any magic incantations or rituals, any use of magic vision or the creation of magic items, or anything that requires spending any ability pool or rating to produce a magical effect. Attempting to cast magic into London from the outside can work but for only short periods. Mythos magic, Idiosyncratic Magic or Megapolisomancy, which are not powered by the Serpent Folk grid, still work.

 Trail of Cthulhu (Tabletop Game) / int_290dfb99
comment
Chandler American Time: The game's 1930s USA setting, downbeat atmosphere, and character career options including Private Investigator, Criminal, and Police Detective place it somewhere adjacent to Chandler Time, although the central presence of Lovecraftian supernatural horror takes it away from the pure form of the trope. This tone is especially clear in Cthulhu Confidential, where PCs tend to be Chandleresque lone investigators.

Hundreds of giant rats scuttle through the basement files, collating the true history; any Investigators who discover physical evidence that Great Arkham’s history is not wholly true and fixed are approached by the Historical Society.

comment
Bazaar of the Bizarre: The people of Dother travel across the Dreamlands to gather and sell exotic items dreamed into being by sleeping residents of Earth: irons with tacks jutting from them, cups and saucers covered in fur, telephones in the shape of lobsters, and suit jackets bursting with milk glasses. Though no more functional in the waking world than as art pieces in a surrealist gallery show, in the Dreamlands these contradictory objects exude magical power.

City of Spies: Egypt attracts spies and covert agents from all over Europe and the world, both freelance and otherwise. They piggyback on the smugglers' routes in and out of Cairo and Alexandria, provide covert funding for expeditions (in exchange for planting a radio transmitter or just an accurate survey of a desert well), and cross paths repeatedly with fellow demimondaines such as the Tomb-Hounds.

comment
Wretched Hive: Great Arkham is a dreadful city, where the Mythos is already triumphant. Some members of the government are in the thrall of, or in league with, alien horrors. Residents know better than to go out at night, when the clouds roll in from the sea and shapes move in the sky. There are occasional, unpredictable streets, which come and go according to some unearthly schedule; strange black ships dock at Innsmouth to trade with the squat, ugly denizens of that neighbourhood. And not everyone is sane—or human.

Our Minotaurs Are Different: Bull-men in the mode of Classical Mythology roam the Dreamlands, in scarce numbers. They are peaceful when left to themselves, though prone to rampage in search of women. After the surrealist upheaval, they are suddenly everywhere, and sometimes retain their classical physiques, but just as often have bizarre physical shapes. One might have a chest of drawers gaping from its torso, while another precariously balances a bison-like head more than half his body weight atop an overmatched frame.

comment
Corrupt Church: The Church of the Conciliator, which has taken over most churches in Great Arkham, has various degrees of initiation. Low-ranking members believe that the Church is just another variation of Christianity, but even the exoteric rituals tend towards the gorier parts of the Old Testament; animals are sacrificed on important festivals, and priests talk less about love and forgiveness than judgement and the wrath of God. As members rise in the church's hierarchy, more and more of the Christian trappings are stripped away until they are fully initiated into the worship of Yog-Sothoth.

Ley Line: England is crisscrossed by magical lines of power called leys which connect places of power. Points along these lines, or where they meet, are called nodes, and are places of magical power. Those attuned to a node may call on the magical power of the node when performing magic. The Serpent Folk set up the ley network 275 million years ago to transmit power over vast distances and to enable the performance of massively complicated rituals to move objects in space at vast distances in space and time. It has since been broken up by continental drift and fallen into disrepair and disuse.

comment
Nature Spirit: The Green Man, Herne the Hunter, John Barleycorn, Lud, Nodens, the Wild Hunt, Cernunnos, Sylvanus are all various representations of nature in English folklore—the danger of being hunted, the allegory of the life cycle of barley, the wild strangeness of uninhabited places and more. They robustly punish the unwary for a transgression against nature and can only be placated with a steep sacrifice or death. Country folk know to avoid the places where they appear, or appease them with gifts should they think them displeased. In Mythos terms, such an entity could be seen as a representation of deities such as Nodens or Shub-Niggurath.

Language of Magic
 Trail of Cthulhu (Tabletop Game) / int_5b965319
comment
Language of Magic: Whilst English is the language of charms and hedge magic, perhaps even that of Faërie, arcane magics are brought forth with more primeval and erudite tongues. Latin, the language of the Bible for many, is seen as possessing power. Many tomes of power were written in Latin. However, these often claim to be translations of older works, suggesting that the original language holds more power. For the real magic, one must harken back to deeper mysteries. Hebrew, the language of the Torah, and hence of God, is seen as potent. To get from magic to magick, the signposts are in Enochian, the language of angels, the tongue with which the world was created, although forgotten by Adam during the fall. Finally in the world of Lovecraft, there is no more magical language than that of Cthulhu, also known as Aklo.

Sex Hitler takes the human desire to be led and protected and twists it to his own gratification and will to power.

Devious Dolphins
 Trail of Cthulhu (Tabletop Game) / int_6831a0c9
comment
Devious Dolphins: Deeper Ones are to dolphins what Deep Ones are to humans: the result of a hybrid breeding program that produces a blend of the two phenotypes. Since dolphins are already aquatic, the transformation is mostly internal: gills emerge, pressure-resistant scales form beneath the blubber, the eyes distend, the flippers lengthen. The most visible difference is a thick bristly crest along the Deeper One's spine, but it can lay that down voluntarily. Deeper Ones are more brutal and ruthless than regular dolphins, with a much stronger and more violent sexual appetite — one not limited to the delphinoid species.

Ominous Message from the Future: The Armitage Files, in the campaign of the same name, detail a series of investigations Armitage undertakes. These begin a year and a half in the future, and culminate in a Cthulhoid catastrophe about another year and a half later. As the players choose which leads to follow and which to leave on the backburner, the Keeper improvises a series of scenarios allowing them to avert the future cataclysms the files foretell.

Smart People Play Chess: From 1929 to 1934, Marcel Duchamp scours Europe and the Dreamlands for chess partners, competing in top tournaments. His objective is not to win, per se, but to take it apart and re-understand it, as he has taken apart and re-understood art. In the 60s, the old Duchamp might be lured back to the Dreamlands by the opportunity to play a Grandmaster there.

Politically Correct History: Discussed. The surrealists go down in history as a notorious boy's club, where women were symbols of eroticism first and collaborators second. Even though some women artists attached themselves to the movement and produced compelling work, Breton remained a chauvinist of the first water. That being said, the secret history of the surrealist Dreamlands needn't reflect the biases of the time or Breton's disregard. Depending on the tastes of your group, you might want to faithfully underline the scene's inherent sexism, or act as if it never existed in the first place.

Beast with a Human Face: When the surrealists change the Dreamlands, grotesque, distended faces appear atop the moon-beasts' mouth. In hideous fashion they represent specific noxious and oppressive persons of Earth. The main guardian of the moon-beast slave camp in Leng, for example, resembles Paris police chief Jean Chiappe.

Glacial Apocalypse: Between 1940 and 1944, when Paris is occupied by the Nazis, the Dreamlands freeze over, as seen in the portrait Leonora Carrington makes of Max Ernst. Ice encases its fantastical structures and many creatures. It is still possible to move through its snowy wastes, but the old wonders are locked beneath them. Dreamscapers find it impossible to do more than briefly thaw a small area, or for instants awaken a frozen Dreamlands entity. Nonetheless, the surrealists who remain in Paris can still marshal fragments of its power, and their knowledge of the Mythos, against the Gestapo and Ahnenerbe alike.

Living Dream
 Trail of Cthulhu (Tabletop Game) / int_88ea13d5
comment
Living Dream: If your physical body dies while your dream-form is active in the Dreamlands, the latter may survive even as the former expires. This fate befalls Jacques Vaché during his 1919 opium overdose. The dream-form becomes a full-fledged Dreamlands entity, subject to dreamscaping. Dream revenants can move through the Dreamlands as they desire. They can have and remember new experiences but are never truly changed by them, their attitudes and personality frozen as of the time of physical death. Marcel Duchamp's dream-form Rrose Sélavy has attained independent agency when he's not dreaming, and takes action without his say-so — including reaching through the veil of sleep to possess susceptible people like Robert Desnos.

The cult now infiltrates every branch of the French state, from the Académie française to the army to the government, and has survived centuries of wars and revolutions. Any French embassy or colony likely has a CS member or asset pulling strings and looking away.

Afterwards, they discover the metal roof is puckered and scarred in a pattern resembling the suckers on an octopus' arm.

Alternate History

comment
Alternate History: Discussed. In gameplay, it is completely possible for a PC to gets fatally shot by a cultist or get eviscerated by a ghoul while awake, while history says that they died long after the game's timeframe. Two different ways to reconcile premature deaths with the historical record are provided: the character does not die but instead suffers from a horrifying near-death experience and never meddles with the Dreamlands or Mythos again; or the character dies, but their comrades' collective yearning creates a dream-form which escapes to the waking world and lives out their historical life but does not want to be reminded of its origin and wants nothing to do with the occult. In any case, the player selects a new character. Of course, there's nothing that stops your group from taking your campaign into the counter-historical if you want.

Age Without Youth: Having carried a Flora to term makes the wives who married into the Bradbury family immortal, but not unaging. Eventually they shrivel up, cease moving and talking and are buried in the cellar of Bradbury House by the family. If the right thing is done over her grave, on the right day, a wife disinters herself and converses with whoever gave her light.

Weirdness Censor: Great Arkham is obviously, obscenely wrong, even to people without knowledge of the Mythos, but most people deny the reality all around them, and delude themselves that they're living in a city governed by human norms. Others – the afflicted and eccentrics, or the Investigators who fight against the Mythos – have glimpsed the truth, but are unable to accept that reality, because they cling to their ideals of human morality.

Acronym Confusion: Initiates of the CS, a secret society in the École Normale Supérieure, are told one of two cover stories: the CS stands for Compagnie du Saint-Azédarac, and it is a secret society of freethinkers within the Church; or it stands for Comité Synarchique, and it is a political-technocratic arm of Masonry. Only those who dig further learn the truth: CS stands for Culte de Sadoqui, or cult of Tsathoggua.

Dreaming of Things to Come: After the Surrealist upheaval, the tunnels in the Plateau of Leng may lead to unfortunate episodes in the explorers' future lives. The cylinders of Kadatheron display a sanity-blasting collection of moving images forecasting a horrible future of the human race: death camps in Europe, a mushroom cloud that obliterates cities, a polluted and poisoned planet, an international communications network devoted to the transmission of human idiocy.

Town with a Dark Secret: Upper Quinton, Warwickshire hides more than one secret. To the sensitive the feeling of the village is dominated by Faery. If that door should ever be closed, or if the investigator is very careful, they sense worse things. Almost everyone in the village belongs to the ancient cult of the Queen of the Trees.

In jingoistic celebration of the warplane and the bomb, he demands a war to truly end all wars, an apocalyptic reckoning that will roll across the Dreamlands until its every occupant is as dead as he.

comment
Tragic Villain: André Breton is the undisputed king of Surrealism. He wrote the manifesto, he chairs all the meetings, and disagreeing with him (even on little matters) makes you lose Instability, without which you can't create art or influence the Dreamlands. Official members loathe his capricious authority, yet find it hard to escape his orbit. Breton wields this power like a petty dictator, since he's unable to enter the Dreamlands himself. His attempts to codify and regulate surrealism have made him too clenched up to leave the physical plane. No matter how hard he tries, and what arcane rituals he dabbles in, he's unable to unmoor his spirit from his body.

Faint in Shock: Trail of Cthulhu actually creates an incentive for characters to faint occasionally, in best gothic horror fashion. Adventurers are prone to suffer a prolonged process of sanity loss as the Cosmic Horror of reality presses on them, but those who faint dead away as a result of specific shocks may at least avoid even worse sights that could destroy their minds.

Mortality Ensues: No ones ages within the walls of Celephaïs, until the surrealists start to change the Dreamlands. Immortals do not turn to dust overnight, but wrinkles begin to creep across faces, and faint liver spots materialise on the back of alabaster hands. Personalities frozen for millennia suddenly admit the possibility of change. Now responsible for their own evolution (or degeneration), the populace splits into two violently opposed factions: those who embrace transformation, even unto death, and those who would reverse it.

Berthelot turned to Cultes des Goules again to resurrect the dead. Mordiggian does not make bargains of this kind, but Berthelot was able to create something from his beloved's corpse, a thing that he now calls Mata Malam, the Eye of Night.

Small, Secluded World: Great Arkham's relationship with the rest of the United States is vague. The city is undeniably insular: the newspapers are all concerned with local matters, few people travel, and there is little trade. Outside the city, no one has heard of Great Arkham, or if they have, they cannot quite recall where. A cousin went there once, perhaps. A name that shows up on old train timetables, or in the diaries of madmen.

You Can't Go Home Again: As Kuranes confessed to Randolph Carter, the splendours of Celephaïs, the city he had so single-mindedly sought, dwindled with surprising rapidity. Now he yearns for the real paradise he ignored while alive: the Cornwall shores of his childhood. When the surrealist transformation ripples through Celephaïs, Kuranes finds himself torn. Does he trade favours with the surrealists in hopes that their unprecedented dreamscaping abilities might somehow send him home to the waking world?

Closed Circle: Some people appear able to leave Great Arkham without any problems; player characters are never in this group. There are four obvious routes out: by rail, by road, by boat, or by walking cross-country. All four offer plenty of ways for a cruel Keeper to make leaving the city dangerous or ominous. Keepers are instructed to first prevent them from leaving using what might be co-incidence or bad luck, and only later escalate to supernatural barriers once the escape attempts become more desperate and violent. Even if they leave, the Investigators will get drawn back to the city.

comment
Ambiguously Gay: André Breton, who in his personal life embodies the sexual repression his ideology opposes, despises homosexuality — and is often accused of it by his rivals. How much of this attitude is overcompensation is a matter for individual Keepers to decide as they portray him. Some suggest that his hero worship of his dead friend Jacques Vaché took on a homoerotic quality. There is no evidence of sexual feelings for other men.

Old Shame

Old Shame:invoked As the surrealists change the Dreamlands, everywhere an artist looks in Sona-Nyl, he sees unfinished remnants of the works that got away — the paintings, poems and films he envisioned but could never quite complete, or that he released into the world though they were not what they could be. The sight of these failures drives even the most self-confident creator rushing from Sona-Nyl, the beautiful hell.invoked By the 1960s, Giorgio de Chirico has long abandoned his so-called metaphysical style, no longer wanting anything to do with the Dreamlands. Should agents show up brandishing one of his old paintings, he declares it a forgery. He still occasionally slips back to the Dreamlands, where he tries his best to revert it to its pre-surrealist state. Nowadays that means removing the Oldenburg stuffed hamburgers and the field of Warhol electric chairs.invoked

comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: If a surrealist falls asleep somewhere else in the waking world, enter the Dreamlands, head to Hlanith, randomly walk its streets until it becomes a dream-Paris, then continue from its streets to the real city, those they interacted with forget their activities in Paris. Their memories rewrite themselves to explain away whatever the surrealist did, because clearly they were never there.

comment
Ghostapo: The Ahnenerbe either enters the Dreamlands by bartering fresh corpses (of which the SS has no shortage) with the ghouls beneath Bad Kudowa, or through the mescaline experiments of Kurt Plötner, who leads the Department R at Dachau. Perhaps some powerful and enigmatic works kept back from overseas sale by the NSDAP have been weaponised for dream travel, possibly in connection with Weimar-era experiments in somnambulism. In either case, the SS occultists enter the dream game at a considerable disadvantage, due to the Nazis' approach to 'degenerate art'. The Dreamhounds are also likely to run into the Ahnenerbe while investigating more conventional occult groups who cross paths with the surrealists, as part of their political warfare campaign in Paris.

Speaks Fluent Animal: Witches, with their affinity for animals, can influence their behaviour. This might be used to create panic among a pack of wolves or cause a herd of cows to protect the witch like it would a calf, but does not allow the caster to give the animals explicit instructions.

War Is Hell

comment
War Is Hell: As Dylath-Leen is transformed by the surrealist upheaval, wounds appear on the bodies of its cutthroats, and the reek of cordite and mustard gas emanates from their uniforms. These are dream reflections of the legions shot, blown up, or poisoned in the trenches of the Great War, which haunt such dreamscapers as Éluard, Ernst, Masson and Aragon, and which fuel the surrealists' furious attack on bankrupt authority. Joining them are the civilian casualties, those claimed by disease and starvation. Across their haunted faces are stamped the previously unimaginable violence of industrialised warfare.

Evil Twin: Antonin Artaud's dream-form achieves independent volition when he's not in the Dreamlands and figures out how to get to Paris to further disrupt his already precarious life. It tries to sabotage or take credit for his work, and succeeds in plunging him deeper into addiction. The motif of the double starts to permeate Artaud's work.
