Novus Ordo Seclorum
Terrifying gamers since 1985!
"All your case are
now belong to us"
"That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die." The setting of Call of Cthulhu is a darker version of our world, based on H.P. Lovecraft's observation that, "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
Novus Ordo Seclorum is Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game tournament adventure writing cult dedicated to terrifying gamers since 1985!
In the roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu the players take the roles of ordinary people, drawn into the realm of the mysterious: detectives, criminals, scholars, artists, war veterans, etc. Often, happenings begin innocently enough, until more and more of the workings behind the scenes are revealed. As the characters learn more of the true horrors of the world and the irrelevance of humanity, their sanity inevitably withers away (the game actually includes a mechanism for determining how damaged a character's sanity is at any given point). To access the tools they need to defeat the horrors - mystic knowledge and magic - the characters must be willing to give up some of their sanity for the greater good. A Novus Ordo Seclorum round of Call of Cthulhu has a reputation of being a game in which it is quite common for a player character to die in gruesome circumstances or end up in a mental institution.
