Dark Corners of the Earth

By Musha Shukou, in Fan Creations

I have finished my custom addon based on the video game Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth.

Waiver: All of the images on the cards are from the video game. I have done my due diligence in receiving permission to use screenshots from Bethesda's game "Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth." I have e-mailed and called Bethesda MANY times over the past 6 months to get this permission, but each time I have received no reply whatsoever. I have screenshots of the e-mails I have sent as proof of this due diligence. However, I am submitting this to the community for free use. I have no intent to receive any financial gain on the works of Bethesda or Fantasy Flight Games.

Below, I am posting the images of each card. The Strange Eons files can be downloaded from megaupload, here .

Please provide any feedback, should you have any.

I don't know what happened, but the link I posted above stopped working. So, here it is again: www.megaupload.com/?d=EJW2GUVN .

this is impressive... I am very tempted to print it out and try. Is there any general scenario sheet that gives the beginning of the story and the guidelines to play this expansion ? Innsmouth is mandatory, what about eh other boards ? What should we do with the items, allies, monsters, etc ??

No, sorry, I don't have a general scenario sheet for this. I intended it to just be shuffled in with the Innsmouth decks. As far as beginnings of the story, the "Story So Far:" sides of each investigator provides the background to this addon. However, I am not opposed to providing something should it be asked for by other people as well. Yes, you need Innsmouth, but no other boards other than the base game are necessary. One of my investigators, Rebecca Lawrence, starts with an item from the Lurker at the Threshold expansion (King James Bible). All of the other cards, including Arkham Encounters, Mythos, Common items, Unique items, Spells, Allies, and Monsters, are intended to be shuffled into their respective decks (yes, increasing the size of each deck). And no changes to any rules are necessary. For the allies, you may pick and choose which 11 you start off with and include these 6 or randomize the deck. Personally, I prefer to randomize the deck, even with my homemade allies, it just provides more variety.

After reading your post, I realized that I forgot to include a list of quantities for each item and monster so I will provide it here :

4 of each monster

Book of Dagon - 1
Briefcase of Evidence - 1
Call of Cthulhu - 1
Cultist's Diary - 1
Extra Ammunition - 2
Golden Brooch - 2
Heavy Knife - 2
Jewel of Cthulhu - 1
Medical Kit - 2
Oaths of Dagon - 1
Pnakotic Manuscripts - 1
Police Whistle - 2
Ponape Scripture - 1
Sacred Charm - 2
Shot of Morphine - 2
Sign of the Flaming Eye - 2
Statue of Cthulhu - 1
Statue of Dagon - 1
Statue of Hyrda - 1
Summoning Talisman - 2
Tablets of Dagon - 1
Yithian Crystal - 2
Yithian Lightning Cannon Model D - 1

Obviously, there should only be 1 of each of everything else including the spells as the spells are a bit powerful.

Because this might cause a bit of deck dilution, you may use less of each item or choose to not include an item in your game at all. It is your game, you may choose how to play it. I have play-tested everything except for the encounters, mythos, and monsters simply because they were the last things I made and I finished them just a couple days before submitting them here. My friends and I had a great time with some of the items, allies, and investigators.

Musha, that's impressive indeed. Many compliments for the patience, the time, the creativity, and especially for sharing. I'm gonna give it a try too, in not too a long time, I hope

sweeeeeeeeet !!!!! . i have made cards on arts cow for some of my games , so i can say without reservation , that is an impressive amount of work you have done there !

Well, thank you all very much! I'm very glad to see people giving it a try. I hope you'll let me know how it plays for you if you are ever able to print it out and actually play it.

Wow, my hat goes off to you Musha. I've been tinkering on and off with a bunch of Dark Corners of the Earth game add-ons, but you've gone all out and put my puny works to shame. Bravo my friend, Bravo!

Very good work. Post it up on boardgamegeek ASAP.

Yes, I am aware of this. It is inconvenient, I know, but for some reason that link stopped working. I had to redo the upload and I reposted the link near the bottom of the page. They are the exact same thing, but one works, one doesn't.

Thanks, Jake. I have uploaded it to BBG, just waiting for approval.

A really big well done on this Musha! I love Dark Corners of the Earth and I've just bought Arkham Horror and I definitely be giving this a go. You've captured the video game perfectly. Kudos!
