At the Gates of Darkness contains five scenarios written specifically for Sentinels and players new to the Call of Cthulhu. Here you'll find horror, mystery, investigations, hideous monsters, spells and buried secrets, as well as many tips on how to best lead these exciting adventures. In addition to the storylines, this book features a script by Kevin Ross full of tips and ideas for directing the parts of The Call of Cthulhu that will serve both veteran Guardians and newcomers alike.

The Shadow Behind the Hill: Renovation of a friend's home in Providence, Rhode Island, leads to unexpected discoveries. Genius Loci: All is not well at the Danvers State insane asylum, and it's up to the investigators to answer an old friend's call. The Servants of the Lake: A search for a missing person in the wilderness north of Kingsport reveals secrets of long ago. Till death do us part: Strange rocky concretions have been found in Mrs. Carrington's beloved fountain. But these stones are unlike anything we have ever seen before! At the bottom of the hole: the death of a Miskatonic University student leads the investigators to dip into shady business and discover some no less shady neighbourhoods...

You will also find ten ready-to-play investigators in this book, allowing players to immediately immerse themselves in the mysteries on offer. But beware: just because these scenarios are designed for beginners doesn't mean they'll be able to twiddle their thumbs and get the hang of it! Those who dare to open the gates of darkness must be prepared for the perils that await them behind!
