The Cthulhu at War bundle from Pelgrane Press available at RPGNow is a little different from other bundles. It putss together Cthulhu adventures from two companies; Pelgrane Press and from Modiphius. Pelgrane has their award winning Trail of Cthulhu while Modiphius have their Kickstarter superstar success Achtung! Cthulhu series.
The bundle offers a cash saving of about 25% but your sanity may well not be as lucky. This post is a collection of little speaks inside each of the books in the bundle; a bit of art, a slice of text and a flicker that may just escape from your monitor.
You can grab the complete bundle, with discount, from RPGNow.
Three Kings
War time roleplaying… with tenactles. Thius is the first in Modiphius’ series of adventures for the Zero Point campaign written by Sarah Newton. Soliders, agents and partisans risk everything as they try to uncover the deadly secrets of Castle Karlstein.
What is “Section D”?
“Section D” is a section of the British Secret Intelligence Service (also known as MI6) formed a little over a year ago in March 1938 to carry out paramilitary and covert political actions, including propaganda and sabotage, against an enemy during wartime. In 1939 and the early months of the war, Section D is based at the Metropole Hotel, on the corner of Northumberland Place and Whitehall in central London, close to the heart of the British government.

Heroes of the Sea
The second adventure of the Zero Point campaign has the characters struggle to cope with Nazis, tanks, sinister horrors and the battle of Dunkirk.
Operation Dynamo
Heroes of the Sea takes place against the backdrop of Operation Dynamo, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) wartime troop evacuations in history. Following the German Blitzkrieg invasion of Belgium and France in May 1940, the combined forces of the British Expeditionary Force (the “BEF”) and the French First Army found themselves surrounded on three sides and in danger of being driven into the sea—a potential loss of almost half a million men.

Flying Coffins
A Trail of Cthulhu adventure drom Adam Gauntlett in which players are pilots of the Royal Flying Corps. Rumours of the big push are rife, the squad’s ace is on the verge of cracking up and… maybe there is more than just Nazi fighers in the skies.
Piloting and Stunting
Much may depend on whether the PCs are aggressors or defenders. In some scenes this is deliberately mentioned in the text, but in others this is up to chance. Compare the Flight Leader’s Piloting to the NPC Flight Leader’s Piloting. Whichever flight’s Leader has the highest pool is the aggressor.

Sisters of Sorrow
The crew of U-boat UC-12 can hear a strange booming sound. It’s not whales. It doesn’t sound like the British trying to defend their ports from the minelayer. Is there something else down here and why are some of the crew beginning to act strange?
Life in the Kaiserliche Marine
Germany was the last major power to build submarines; even the Dutch had a working prototype before the Kaiser did. In 1901, Admiral Von Tirpitz, father of the Navy, told the Reichstag that Germany did not need submarines. Surface navy officers and men despised their underwater counterparts, believing that the true test of naval supremacy was an all-out gun battle between capital ships. The Germans, as indeed had most of the other great naval powers, did not debate or properly consider the use and strategic impact of the submarine before war began. As a consequence, the undersea war was very much a work in progress, even as it was reaching its peak.
