Contents
[edit]Down Darker Trails is a sourcebook set in the American old west.[1] Investigators assume the roles of cowboys, outlaws, lawmen, and other period-accurate professions in their struggle against the Cthulhu Mythos. It has rules for both the base Call of Cthulhu system and Pulp Cthulhu. The book also contains two adventures.
Reception
[edit]John O'Neill reviewed Down Darker Trails for Black Gate, and stated that "CoC has been sorely lacking a weird western sourcebook, so I was very pleased to see Kevin Ross and his friends at Chaosium release Down Darker Trails, a massive full-color 256-page hardcover which lovingly brings Mythos horror to the old west. The book is an excellent addition to Chaosium's catalog".[1]
Down Darker Trails won the 2018 Silver ENnie Awards for Best Monster/Adversary.[2]
