Editing Eldritch Horror (section)

== Setting ==

Ever heard of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]? If you have, then you'll fit right in. If not, consider polishing up your lore of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. Ancient 'Old Ones', dark gods and strange cosmic creatures from a bygone age are returning to Earth, cultists everywhere are welcoming them with open arms and bloody sacrificial daggers, and you gotta stop them. With the game set vaguely in a between-World Wars period, you can have encounters in Rome where you have to flee from [[Secret Hitler|fascists]] or attend a show by Houdini in Buenos Aires to learn how to perform real [[magic]]. The game contains quite a lot of period-accurate references to people who lived in that period, so you can attend a lecture by physicist [[wikipedia:Enrico Fermi|Enrico Fermi]] so confusing you get [[Sanity|sanity loss]], or dick around Arkham to engage in fisticuffs with Deep Ones around Innsmouth.
