Fate of Cthulhu Timeline • The Rise of the Basilisk

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In this 27-page timeline for Fate of Cthulhu, your heroes will face the most dangerous threat of all: an infectious idea.

basilisk is any idea which is dangerous to the beholder. A catchy tune that gets so stuck in one's head as to become harmful. Certain visual phenomena that cause damage to the vision processing areas of the brain. The Basilisk we know, the one called Godthink by those infected, subsumes its beholder entirely. The Basilisk we know is not some errant sound or image that maims or kills those who come across it. It is a way of thinking, a worldview, a community of minds so aligned and so connected as to become a single gestalt force, bent on expanding itself infinitely and destroying or converting any opposition. The Basilisk we know will consume everything. 

The Basilisk is an idea, not an entity, so it cannot be killed or destroyed. Analysts have, however, identified four moments which, if altered, can slow the idea's spread or give the Resistance better tools for fighting indoctrination. 

This is your mission. Get ready to travel to the past—and beware of hazardous ideas.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
