Licensee Focus: Sentinel Hill Press
Sentinel Hill Press is proud to announce that the latest issue of The Arkham Gazette is available for purchase on DriveThruRPG!
The Arkham Gazette is a magazine focused on the Lovecraft Country setting of Call of Cthulhu but with potential items of interest for anyone playing Call of Cthulhu, BRP games, or other Lovecraftian RPGs. In this issue our focus is on witches and witchcraft in Lovecraft Country, from the possibly Mythos origins of certain witch-cults, through the witch trials of the colonial past, until the 'modern' day of the Classic Era. This issue will be our last new issue released using the 6th Edition of the Call of Cthulhu rules; conversion notes for 7th Edition are being developed.
Our contributors include L.T. Barker, Dan Harms, Tyler Hudak, Chris Huth, Graeme Price, and Christopher Smith Adair. Art is by Trevor Henderson, Chris Huth, and Ian Maclean, with handouts prepared by Dean Engelhardt. Our handout PDF also contains an additional prop document by Chris Jarocha-Ernst.
