The Wickedest City on Earth. In the aftermath of the Great War, Berlin maintains a reputation for licentiousness. A place where anything can be had for the right price. It is a city of both hedonism and business; its streets overflow with disabled veterans, prostitutes, destitute immigrants, and political agitators all rubbing shoulders with buttoned-down businessmen, scholars, and artists. The gutters run with the blood of political assassinations, where Communists and vlkisch Nationalists clash with each other and the police. Long into the evenings, Berlin's world-famous cabarets offer music, dance, and titillating entertainment in stark contrast to the gray buildings that run on for endless miles along the sprawling city's byways. Into this bubbling stew, Berlin: The Wicked City introduces the weird elements of the Cthulhu Mythos a hotbed of secret organizations, sinister cults, and half-whispered lore. Amid the wicked air of the world s capital of sin, the very nature of what it means to be human is questioned. And as the city hurtles toward its inevitable dark destiny, the oppressive atmosphere pushes the sanity of investigators to its breaking point. This supplement is best used with the CALL OF CTHULHU roleplaying game and optionally PULP CTHULHU, both available separately.
