Cthulhus Ruf #1 published

Ever since Pegasus decided to discontinue the "Cthuloide Welten" in Spring last year, there have been discussions about a possible follow-up magazine. Luckily, Pegasus supported the idea, and - even more luckily - the writers of the german Cthulhu blog Cthulhus Ruf took up the challenge. (Guys, you are the Greatest!)
End of last month, the wait was finally over.
Cthulhu's Ruf #1 was published.

And it looks absolutely brilliant.

 It's a fan-made, non-profit magazine. But the authors are the same people that already wrote for the Cthuloide Welten. Layout and editorial work though, are now in the responsibility of new people.

This issue presents three scenarios for the Call of Cthulhu RPG: one for Cthulhu NOW, one for the traditional 1920s setting, and one for the more pulp Cthulhu Pirates. (It should be noted here that the 1920s scenario is set in Germany and is meant as the starting point for a campaign that is going to be further developed in the magazins next issues.)

The issue also features a set of magazine articles:
- a biography of famous German film director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (Nosferatu) which is rounded of by scenario ideas for the 1920s and NOW;
- a short review of China Mieville's works;
- an article about railroading in roleplaying adventures;
- an op-ed article on H.P. Lovecraft (literary figure or dime novel writer);
- Tips on how to use specific buildings as recurring settings within campaigns;
- a presentation of an universally usable NPC - complete with three possible backgrounds for him. (This brings back memories of TUO's Tales of Terror.)

The magazine is only available by mail order through the dedicated website:

PLEASE NOTE: If you are ordering the magazine from a European country other than Germany, you should get in contact with the responsible publishers by mail first. (Because the postage may vary.)

ALSO: I really shouldn't need to point this out (the cover should have given you the hint already), but here goes anyway: The magazine is written in German.
