Overview[]
| “ | Claudia Christian's Musketeers vs. Cthulhu Musketeers vs. Cthulhu is a 112-page, A5-sized hardback book and includes a full Musketeer vs. Cthulhu campaign and everything needed to play Musketeers in any Call of Cthulhu setting. The Three Musketeers is a French historical adventure written in 1844 by Alexandre Dumas, and the swashbuckling story is legend, having been presented in almost every form of media including board game, cartoon, comic book and Hollywood movies. Created by writer H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu Mythos was first introduced in 1928 in the short story 'Call of Cthulhu'. Cthulhu is now a shared fictional universe, where numerous authors and creators have developed the mythos further with different monsters and horrors, in all manner of times and locations. In their short story, as part of The Musketeers vs. Cthulhu in the Court of King Louis Anthology, Claudia and Chris have melded the swashbuckling of The Three Musketeers legend with the horror of the Cthulhu Mythos. A perfect setting for a tabletop roleplaying book, we think you'll agree. |
