There have been plenty of scenarios for Call of Cthulhu which deal with the Science Fictional aspects of Lovecraft’s Cosmic Horror, but not a campaign. It is very much not a campaign of Lovecraftian investigative horror in the eldritch sense, but rather one of fringe science—or ‘Science!’ and fringe theories ranging from Theosophy to the Hollow Earth.\"—\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/rlyehreviews.blogspot.com\/2020\/08\/hollow-earth-horror.html\"\u003eReviews from R'lyeh\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Distanced as \u003cem\u003ePulp Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e is from its better known big brother, it keeps on producing quality adventures that can't be easily found elsewhere. The first thing that struck me while preparing the adventure was how it managed to be both pulp and retain a firm anchor to reality. It blends together elements which on first sight don't have many things in common. The pseudoscience of the paranormal is one of them; the adventure strikes home the idea that back in the 1930s the scientific method was still used to prove or debunk weirdo theories that mostly belong to mythology.
