A decade ago, a band of occult investigators battled against the summoning of an ancient and monstrous evil.
They failed.
Now, you must piece together what went wrong. Investigate ancient crypts, abandoned estates, and festering slums. Explore choked jungles and the crushed psyches of your predecessors. Follow in their footprints and make new ones of your own. This time, there won’t be another chance.
The world is yours to save… or lose
A massive new campaign for Trail of Cthulhu by Will Hindmarch and Jeff Tidball
Playtesters say:
We just finished the whole Eternal Lies playtest and…
It is the best campaign I have ever run.
I first ran Shadows of Yog-Sothoth in 1982, and I have run Masks of Nyarlathotep twice, Horror on the Orient Exrpress twice, Beyond the Mountains of Madness, as well as other RPG campaigns, and none of them have the richness and depth of Eternal Lies.
I envy those of you who will be able to play this at its own pace, and let it fully invade every aspect of your character’s lives.
–Jeff Campbell
Having playtested the first act, arnother strong recommendation for it here. While I’m not sure it’ll replace MoN or BtMoM in my heart, it is certainly an excellent campaign (even in its draft form, which will of course improve on publication ! ) and looks to be another great Pelgrane product.

I’ve just finished reading the entire campaign. To say that I’m speechless would be quite an understatement. From what I’ve learnt beforehand about Eternal Lies, I suspected it would be some kind of Masks of Nyarlathotep thingie TOC style. The funny thing is that I’ve already gmed a personal version of the classic Chaosium campaign based on roughly the same premises that Eternal Lies: the players were to discover what happened 5 years ago to their former characters.
But not even in my wildest dreams would have I imagined such a masterpiece. This is total epic madness. This is Masks of Nyarlathotep meet Tatters of the King meet Beyond the Mountains of Madness. This is by far the best campaign ever written for a RPG. This is going to be a blast!
I dont know how much efforts and time have been put into this work, but, I really want to thanks everyone involved in it. When you read something this good, this captivating, it really makes you proud being a member of the RPG community.

Status: First draft, Playtesting
Very much looking forward to this.
Push the boat out? Box & deluxe handouts available separately? ;)
We will certainly do a limited edition; I’ll have to consider the handouts and box – I’d love to do it, though. Oh, we’ll be looking for someone to do CoC conversion stats for the web.
If you put the CoC conversions in the book or box I’ll buy two. One for keeps and one for play. If there’s no conversion charts… I might buy one. Not slating ToC AT ALL… but I don’t have the rules, I’m happy with the CoC rules, Don’t want to learn a new system, but I love the quality of Pelgranes supplements.
For this, we need volunteer(s) who will be heartily rewarded.

This sounds amazing! Very much looking forward to it.
Do you know yet if it will be pulp, purist or some kind of combination?
It’s unlikely to be entirely one or the other. It won’t result in certain failure for the Investigators, though, for certain values of failure.
I’d really like to give the conversion to CoC a try. Is it ok?
@Kairim: As long as the conversion needs the original book – why not?

Any updated eta on a release in pdf or print? Do you still need playtesters? I have a group ready to jump in to trail and if its not too late we would love to get on board.
Just wanted to see if there was any news on this. We’re interested in starting up a Trail campaign before Christmas. Should we wait or is this still a ways out? Also interested in paytesting if you still need it.
It’s a way away. Please see our playtesting article linked from the latest Page XX for playtesting opportunities
Review by Alex Scrivener for Rating: These ornate dice are beuauiftly made, but are still suited to real gameplay. While not recomended for casual, every day use, they are perfect for DM boss use, or other special occasions.
Any updates on this one.? Create the possibility to have a reacted edition?
