Arkham Now: Revisiting the Legend-Haunted City

[CALL OF CTHULHU ROLEPLAYING] "Arkham Now" updates to modern times the famous and fabled city of Arkham for the "Call of Cthulhu" roleplaying game. Most residents believe there is only one horror lurking in this legendary haunted town -- the urban sprawl slowly eroding Arkham's old New England beauty. Rushing by neon signs and mega-marts on a quest to obtain even more material possessions, no one has time to notice the more disturbing, underlying qualities of the city -- the grotesque vegetation sprouting in some places, the sometimes-odd taste from the reservoir's drinking water, the disturbingly high rate of birth defects, and the too-frequent child abductions.
