    Age of Cthulhu VII: The Timeless Sands of India

    India: exotic splendours, desolate sands, and the mysteries of the Subcontinent. The answers to unexplained nightmares rest in India's timeless sands, where eons-old mysteries still dwell just below the veneer of polite society. Curious investigators are quickly drawn into a shadow-war waged by forces of darkness. The clues lead to the ferocious sandstorms of the Great Thar Desert, with fires, assassins, spies, and the alien Lightning Cannon along the way!

    Set throughout the globe and torn from the pages of the hidden history of the world, Age of Cthulhu adventures bring new secrets and mind-bending horrors to your 1920s Call of Cthulhu game. Each adventure comes with copious player handouts, detailed maps, and pre-generated investigators ready to risk their lives and their sanity to confront the horrors of an uncaring universe.

    Age of Cthulhu adventures include many of the classic elements of Call of Cthulhu: action, investigation, and a forbidding sense of horror. Though the adventures utilise real locations and historical events, Age of Cthulhu is first and foremost dedicated to exploring the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos, and to bringing the excitement of heroic pulp-themed adventure to your gaming table. So dim the lights, load your trusty sidearm, and prepare to venture into the unknown…

      These adventures from Goodman Games seem to have gotten dramatically better since their initial release. I love the "Globe-trekking" these supplements do!

      Thank you very much for saying so. I hope that you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed developing and writing it.

      With which adventure does the quality improve (i.e., become good enough to make a purchase worthwhile)?

      Thanks!

      I thought the quality really started to tick-up with #4: Horrors from Yuggoth.

      @JonHook: Thanks.

      The reviews for the first couple were pretty negative, so I tuned out the series. But I may have to check out the ones from #4 onwards.
