Yog-Sothoth for Lovecraft & Cthulhu

The Armitage Files for 'Trail of Cthulhu'

Pelgrane Press have released a new supplement for Trail of Cthulhu. The Armitage Files is an adventure supplement with a somewhat different approach to the norm. Players acquire clues in the form of 10 unusual documents and the Keeper improvises "suitable mind-blasting mysteries" in response.

Add to this some pre-prepared material such as supporting characters, organisations, locations & artefacts, plus an article on improvisation with the GUMSHOE system by Steve Dempsey (GBSteve) and it looks to be a very interesting mix indeed!

There's already discussion going on about The Armitage Files in the YSDC forums�
