Call of Cthulhu RPG – Alone Against The Frost

Call of Cthulhu RPG – Alone Against The Frost

Alone Against the Frost is a horror adventure for one player, which takes place during an expedition to the Northwest Territories of Canada during the 1920s. Here, you choose your own path as you navigate through the story – your choices will determine your success or failure!

You take on the role of Dr. L. C. Nadelmann, an anthropologist from the renowned Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts. Accompanied by three of your most talented and practical graduate students, as well as an experienced local guide, you set out for the legendary valley of North Hanina, seeking the anthropological discovery that will make your career and bring you fame. Or so you hope.

The members of your expedition are:

Dr. L. C. Nadelmann, an academic who is obsessed with early North American prehistory, myths and legends, particularly in the Big Woods region.
Bernard Ebstein, a novice New Yorker who wants to experience life in the wild before his impending marriage to his beloved Catherine.
Sylvia Davidson, the last in a long line of Boston Brahmins, destined for academic greatness thanks to her devotion and determination.
Norman Falkner, a mature, largely self-taught student, whose calm nature acts as a stabilizing influence on those around him.
Τσάρλι Φοξτέιλ, a careful professional wilderness guide of the Τσουτ’ινά, who is hired to lead the expedition safely through the Βόρειο Χάνινα.
But such a journey is full of hardships, from the dangerous white waters to the superstitious beliefs of the local inhabitants – not to mention the wilderness!

Will you manage to survive every challenge this hostile environment has in store for you? Will your companions make it? Will you be able to return with your reputation -and your sanity- intact? Only time will tell. Armed with a pencil, some dice and a copy of the Call of Cthulhu Rulebook or the Call of Cthulhu Starter Set, you are ready to face the remote wilderness as one of MU's youngest professors! Do you dare take the challenge? If the answer is yes, then don't forget to wrap up warm! It can get very cold out there…

This new edition of Alone Against the Frost, first released 30 years ago, has been fully revised and updated for the 7th edition of Call of Cthulhu – over 650 entries, with new images and an epilogue by the original author.
