The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.322: Terror Australis


Hot on the heels of Masks of Nyarlathotep, Chaosium have released an updated 7th edition version of Terror Australis - an Australian sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu rpg - in pdf format (with a hardcopy to be released next year).

As I recall, Terror Australis originally appeared for either 2nd or 3rd edition CoC back in 1986, and hasn’t been reprinted or updated until now; it also has a notable link with Masks of Nyarlathotep, insofar as the first efition of Terror Australis included an Australia-based chapter of MoN which, due to publishing constraints, could not be included in the original MoN box set. Later editions of MoN have subsequently incorporated the Australian chapter in the campaign - including the recent 7th ed. reprint - such that Terror Australis has become an important resource for Keepers running MoN (which is presumably the reason for its recent updated re-release).

Bonzer.
