 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
This is an introductory adventure for The Legacy of
Cthulhu, a Role-Playing Game that lets players act as
one of the few Survivors of the apocalypse brought to
Earth by the Great Old Ones and their minions.
The game’s main goal is survival, hiding in Shelters and
waiting for the best windows of opportunity to go on sup-
ply runs. Food, medicine, weapons, and gear are the es-
sential tools to resist the dooming future ahead, filled with
regular folk possessed by pure desperation and madness,
scheming cultists, shadowy priests, and the most danger-
ous Enemies of all: the perverse spawns of Cthulhu and
other Great Old Ones, powerful enough to shatter some-
one’s mind just with their presence.
A Place to Call Home is a small demonstration of what
the game offers and puts the player in the role of a Sur-
vivor who just barely dodged death by escaping an attack
from the hordes of Cthulhu. With their Shelter destroyed,
the Survivor leads a group of refugees to a small town in
the middle of nowhere. Surviving in this post-apocalyp-
tic scenario is almost impossible. Still, the group must
do whatever it takes to find a new refuge to tender their
wounds and, with a little bit of luck and a lot more of
faith, find a way to thrive in such a doomed world.
WHAT DO I NEED
TO PLAY?
To play A Place to Call Home you will need this book,
pencil, eraser, sheets of paper, two ten-sided dice (also
called d10s), and a character sheet for each one of your
Hernan Aochar (Order #39804658)
characters — a template can be found at the end of this
book. These dice can be easily bought online, at bookshops
that sell TTRPGs, or at your local game store.
SCENARIO
Described in much more detail in The Legacy of Cthulhu,
the game’s setting is the result of a devastating attack from
the Great Old Ones and their minions against humanity.
Set in a modern, contemporary time, most urban areas
were reduced to rubble and debris, inhabited by people
who turned mad (informally known as Psychos), abhor-
rent monsters, and obsessed cultists.
With a lot of effort and not always in peaceful ways, the
few Survivors try to organize themselves as they can. To
protect themselves, they look for areas that can be used
as inconspicuous Shelters since hordes of monsters can
quickly overtake any structure with relative ease. Once
settled in a safe place, most Survivors only dare to leave
to scavenge the area for supplies.
A Place to Call Home is a demo of the full game, orig-
inally released in Brazil in 2020. This quickplay is a pro-
motional sample for the crowdfunding campaign of its
English version set for March 2023 on Gamefound.com
STATISTICS
The Statistics (or Stats) are the main defining traits of your
character and represent how strong, swift, resilient, intel-
ligent, charismatic, and perceptive they are. Assign the
values 4, 3, and 2 to each of the following Stats: Body,
Presence, and Mind. The bigger the value, the better your
character is with that Statistic.
BODY: This stat represents your character’s strength, agil-
ity, and resilience. A Body check is necessary whenever
your character tries a physical feat.
PRESENCE: It relates to your character’s appearance,
charisma, and ability to manipulate others. A Presence
check may be called when your character performs some
social interactions.
MIND: This stat represents your character’s intelli-
gence, reasoning, and resolve. A Mind check is required
whenever your character tries to solve a problem.
 After assigning these values to each of the Stats, it is time
to calculate your Hit Points, Stance, and Willpower:
HIT POINTS (OR HP): This represents the amount
of damage and injuries your character can endure before
becoming unconscious. When your HP falls to 0, your
character is rendered unconscious and dies if no one
is around to help them. To calculate your HP, use this
formula:
HIT POINTS = 5 + BODY
Every time your character suffers an injury or takes dam-
age, subtract that value from your Hit Points.
STANCE: It represents how firm and steadfast your
character is in social situations and if they are feared or
respected when engaging in human interaction. If your
Stance falls to 0, you find yourself demoralized. The fol-
lowing formula calculates your Stance score:
STANCE = 5 + PRESENCE
If your character’s Stance is higher than the score of the per-
son you are interacting with, you are dominant in that social
interaction.
WILLPOWER: While the HP represents the amount of
damage your character can take, Willpower is the abil-
ity to survive, overcome hardships, and resist madness.
When your Willpower falls to 0, you find yourself apa-
thetic and just one step away from insanity. Your Will-
power score is determined by the following formula:
WILLPOWER = 5 + MIND
After making a check, you can spend 1 point of Will-
power to reroll the d10. If you do so, you must use the
new roll, even if it is lower than the first.
SKILLS
Skills represent that your character is qualified in deter-
mined areas of knowledge. If you do not have the Skill
associated with a check, you only add the value of the
Stat used to the number rolled on the d10. If you have
the skill related to the check, add +2 to the number
rolled. Skills can be added to all Stats according to the
nature of the check.
Hernan Aochar (Order #39804658)
Example: John has the Ranged Combat Skill, being able to use it
in multiple ways. He can associate it with the Body Stat to shoot
at an Enemy; with the Presence Stat to fire near the Enemy’s lo-
cation, lowering their Stance score; or with the Mind Stat to find
the best hiding spot for an ambush.
Below are some of the available Skills from The Legacy
of Cthulhu. Choose three of them when creating a new
character.
Athletics: Your character is skilled in many physical
feats and activities, able to climb, run, jump, swim,
bike, and practice sports. As such, they can use their
knowledge and technique in the most varied situa-
tions, such as avoiding obstacles during a chase.
Manipulation: Your character can influence peo-
ple’s emotions, directing them to a specific behavior.
Whether through seduction, deception, or intimi-
dation, you can get information or influence people
to act according to your goals, even if it goes against
their will to some degree.
Melee Combat: Your character knows how to use
melee weapons and melee combat techniques. As
such, they can use their ability to subjugate Enemies,
dodge melee attacks, or even study the Enemy’s
technique, finding their strengths and weaknesses.
Ranged Combat: Your character is versed in using
many ranged weapons. Thanks to that, they can
effectively wield and use these weapons and strate-
gically position themselves to make Enemy ranged
attacks less effective.
Subterfuge: Your character is an expert in situations
that require stealth and discretion. Thanks to that,
you can hide and disguise yourself, move silently,
pick locks and pockets, and crack safes without be-
ing noticed.
Starting Items
1. Choose one Weapon and one piece of Armor from
Table 10.
2. Choose one piece of Equipment from Table 11.
3. Roll two Random Items from Table 09 (if you roll
1-2, roll again).
4. You begin with 5+1d10 units of Food, 1d10 Medi-
cine, and 1d10 Ammo.
 Simplified Rules
Simplified Rules
This segment features the basic rules for demonstration
purposes.
The check system in The Legacy of Cthulhu is mainly
decided by the roll of a ten-sided dice (1d10) to which
an appropriate Stat value is added. If a check calls for the
use of a Skill and you have the Skill being checked, you
also add a +2 bonus to this value. The higher the result,
the better the check. If the sum of the number rolled on
the d10 plus the Stat value plus the Skill bonus (if any) is
equal to or higher than 10, the check is successful:
1d10 + STAT + SKILL ≥ 10
If the result is higher than 10, a bonus effect called
Power Bonus is also applied to the check. Here are some
examples of how it works:
Results greater than 10 in attack checks represent tre-
mendous blows and shots. Thus, add the Power Bonus
originating from it to the damage dealt.
Example: John hits a Psycho with a punch. Based on his attri-
butes, he has 4 points in the Body stat and 2 in the Melee Combat
skill. He rolls one d10 dice and gets a 8, totaling 14 points which
are 4 above the required 10 for a success. This way, he can deal 8
points of damage to the Enemy (4 points from his Body 4 stat, plus
the 4 points he got above the necessary 10 on the dice).
Results higher than 10 in social checks represent an in-
crease or decrease in the target’s Stance. So, add the extra
value or Power Bonus to the Presence Stat.
Example: Hellen wants to convince another Survivor to help
her. Since the Survivor’s Stance is higher than hers, she must
first reduce it. She makes a Presence check (+2) and adds her
Manipulation skill (+2) to it. She rolls one d10 and gets an 8,
so the sum of all points is 12 (8 from the d10 + 2 from Presence
+ 2 from Manipulation), which is 2 points above the required for
a success. This way, she decreases the Survivor’s Stance by 4 points
(2 from Presence plus 2 points that went above the required 10).
For its part, results higher than 10 in mental checks grant
a bonus equal to the Power Bonus on future checks on the
same subject.
Example: Hellen is searching for information in a library to un-
derstand how to use a powerful artifact she recently found. She
Hernan Aochar (Order #39804658)
makes a check using her 4 points on Mind (she doesn’t have any skill
that could help her here), rolls a d10, and obtains a 10. With that,
she has a total of 14 points, 4 above the 10 required for a success.
These 4 points above the 10 needed for a success become a +4 bonus
for future checks related to the use of the artifact.
Advantage and Disadvantage
A character can make a check with Advantage or
Disadvantage for many reasons. For example, a vantage
point and a telescopic sight can grant Advantage to a
character that shoots at something, while a dark alley
can grant Disadvantage to a character looking for clues.
Advantages and Disadvantages are resolved by rolling
two d10s instead of one, as follows:
If you have Advantage in a check, roll 2d10 and
take the highest result.
If you have Disadvantage in a check, roll 2d10 and
take the lowest result.
If there is a source granting Advantage and one granting
Disadvantage, they cancel each other, and no extra dice
is rolled.
EXAMPLE: John is at a vantage point and wants to shoot at
an Enemy in a dark alley. Since the Advantage granted by the
vantage point is canceled by the Disadvantage given by the target’s
visibility, he makes a regular check without adding a second d10.
Combat, Reaction, and Escape
The combat system is quite similar to the check system
presented at the beginning of this chapter, with a small
difference: the Enemy’s reaction.
In addition to the Enemies’ Hit Points, Stance, and
Willpower scores, all creatures have passive skills and
reactions that are carried out every turn until they are
somehow stopped or defeated. These reactions are quite
diverse and add flavor to the combat, being either ran-
domly selected — according to the dice roll — or trig-
gered under certain circumstances, such as a Survivor
interacting with an Enemy in a specific way.
Reactions are activated after an action is taken by a Sur-
vivor, and in case they call for a check, detailed instruc-
tions will be in the reaction’s description.
 Example: John deals 7 damage to the Psycho’s HP; however, this
servant of the Great Old Ones had 8 HP, surviving the attack by

Grenades 6
Explosives 8 (Low) to
Horde Attack 15 (High)

Sometimes the Shelter’s defenses are not enough to stop a
Horde Attack. At these times, Survivors will have to take
up arms and fight to secure their home. Every Survivor
healthy enough to fight will use their weapons to suppress
the Horde Attack before the Horde can destroy and pen-
etrate the Shelter (remember, the players always act first).
• Survivors with melee weapons or low fire rate
guns will attack one-on-one, just like the stan-
dard combat rules.
As explained previously, do not forget that every Power
Bonus obtained in the attack roll is added to the dam-
age, potentially increasing the damage dealt by a signif-
icant amount.
In addition to weapons, your character can also use defen-
sive items such as modern Kevlar vests and even medieval
armor to survive. Each one of these items reduces the dam-
age received from Enemy attacks by a specific value, accord-
ing to the table below:

• Survivors with high fire rate weapons, like ma- Table 02 - Armor
chine guns and rifles, can hit Body+3 enemies
with a single check – they will spend ammo Armor Defense
equivalent to the number of targets, and those Heavy Clothes or Light Vest Reduces 1 damage
targets will be eliminated instantly.
Heavy Vests and Leather Armor* Reduces 2 damage
• Grenades destroy 1d10 targets. Tactical or Medieval Armor* Reduces 3 damage
• Explosives destroy 5+1d10 targets.
*While you wear these armors, every Body check related to dexter-
ity or agility is made with Disadvantage.

Hunger and Insanity

Enemies are not the only hardships that Survivors will
have to deal with in this game. Society as we used to know
it has fallen, drastically affecting food supplies and means
of production. Additionally, the insanity that originated
from the Great Old Ones at the beginning of their reign

 caused chaotic uprisings that led to the destruction of
many food sources, such as crops and livestock.
Interacting with the Scenario
It is possible to interact freely with the scenario through ques-

to call home
Call Home’
It is time to play A Place to Call Home! The mechan-
ics are simple: you start on the marked tile (Page 18) at
6 a.m. on Day 01, being able to make your way through
the scenario with total freedom.
Moving to an adjacent Tile takes one hour on foot and
half an hour using a vehicle (car, motorcycle, bus, etc.). As
soon as you enter a new Tile, perform the following steps:
1. Choose an action to perform.
2. Roll for an event on the table of the specified Tile.
3. After the event, if you wish to remain in the Tile, roll
a d10: a resulting 1 or 2 means a Violent Encounter
(Table 07), while 3 to 0 means that you are safe.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 as many times as you want.
Important: Once a night, roll a d10. A resulting 1
or 2 means a Horde Attack (Table 08), while 3 to
0 means nothing happens. If you spend the night
outside a Shelter, be it a permanent or a temporary
one, in case of a Horde Attack, you will have to
face it without any protection or run away as soon
as possible!
ACTION EXAMPLES
When you enter a Tile, you may do whatever you wish.
As examples, we will give you some basic actions and the
time it takes to perform each one:
Hunt for Food (time according to Tile): Make a Mind
(Survival) check. In case of success, you find 1d10 units
of Food.
Hunt for Food
Wreckage 2 hours
Wasteland 1 hour
Look for a temporary Shelter (30 minutes): Make a
Mind (Investigation) check. In case of success, you find
a safe spot (consider it a Shelter with Defense 30 and a
Secret Passage).
10
Hernan Aochar (Order #39804658)
Look for a new Shelter (5 hours): Make a Mind (Investi-
gation) check. In case of success, you establish a new Shel-
ter in the scenario (built like the first), with no obligation
to discard the previous ones.
Acquire a Specific Item (time varies): In case you wish to
find a weapon, equipment, resource, or specific vehicle, it is
necessary to obtain a success in a Mind (Investigation) check
and spend the required time according to Tables 10 to 13.
Acquire a Random Item (1 hour): If you are randomly
looking for a weapon, equipment, resource, or vehicle,
make a roll on Table 09. Be careful; you may encounter
a dangerous Enemy in your way!
Interact with a character (30 minutes): you can talk
with any character in the scenario known to you. Use
the rules from the Interacting with the Scenario section
to solve this conversation.
EVENTS
After finishing your first action, it is time to roll for a
random event in your Tile. You can only perform new
actions as soon as the resulting event is solved in some
way, be it by a success, after a failure, or simply by being
abandoned.
There are many types of events, from beneficial encoun-
ters and occurrences to problems to be solved. Keeping
notes of the happenings of every event is advised to
monitor your survivor’s story.
Determining an event is simple: roll 1d10 and see the
event that will happen to your character on the equiva-
lent line of the Tile’s table.
Example: John stealthily arrives at a Wreckage Tile. After being
successful in the action “Hunt for Food” and catching a rabbit, it
is time to roll for the Tile event. John rolls 1d10, getting a “7” and
then consults Table 05 - Wreckage Events. There, he finds the fol-
lowing Event: “An Enemy spots you and confronts you. Roll for a
Violent Encounter on Table 07 or escape with a success in a Body
(Athletics) check”. John then goes to Table 07 - Violent Encounters
and once again rolls 1d10, getting a “4”, which represents “You
find a group of 1d10 undead mangling a victim”. He rolls again
to see how many enemies he just found: he gets a “6”. He decides
that he will not run away, and he will finish off the cursed crea-
tures. He takes his pistol from his backpack and begins the fight!
 Table 04 - Wasteland Events
1 You find a Shelter with 1d10 Survivors.
2 You come across someone. Roll for a Neutral Encounter on Table 06.
3 You find the bodies of dozens of dead animals. The blood trails indicate the route of the perpetrator. If you

4 An Enemy spots you and confronts you. Roll for a Violent Encounter on Table 07 or escape with a successful
Body check.
5 You find a good resource-gathering spot. Roll what you found on Table 12.
6 You see from afar a group of Cultists performing a ritual. Make a Mind check, and in case of success, you
find out how to stop it.
7 You come across an Enemy attacking another Survivor. Roll for a Violent Encounter on Table 07 (you are not
the target) and choose what to do.
8 An Enemy spots you and confronts you. Roll for a Violent Encounter on Table 07 or escape with a successful
Body check.
9 You find a giant tree covered in carvings and human bones. Make a Mind check and, if successful, you find out it
is part of a ritual to contaminate the entirety of the fauna and flora in the area.
0 You come across someone. Roll for a Neutral Encounter on Table 06.

 Shelter
One of the most vital things for Survivors is a Shelter
where they can rest, protect themselves, and, in worst-
case scenarios, use to their advantage in combats against
the servants of the Great Old Ones.
The first step to create your Shelter is to define its traits
according to the Tile where it will be located. Choose
one option from the list below:
Standard Shelters
Shelter Tile Traits
Defense 50,
Residence Wreckage Space 5,
Technology 5
Defense 30,
Farm Wasteland Space 9,
Technology 3
Defense: It represents the number of Hit Points that
your Shelter has. If you are attacked while inside it, the
Shelter takes damage instead of you until it loses all its
Hit Points, becoming destroyed in the process. If this
happens, the Enemies will invade your Shelter, being
able to fight you directly.
Space: It determines the number of physical upgrades
you may have in your Shelter. It is possible to increase
this number, which is always inversely proportional to
the Shelter’s Defense; the larger the Shelter, the easier it
is for Enemies to find breaches and break into it.
Technology (Tech): It represents the number of techno-
logical upgrades you may implement into your Shelter.
This kind of improvement has some prerequisites that
might be available only in urban and industrial areas. So,
the closer the Shelter is to the Wreckage Tile, the bigger
its capability for being technologically upgraded.
14
Hernan Aochar (Order #39804658)
Considering the traits of your Shelter, you must choose
the physical and technological upgrades it will have.
Each one of them has a cost in Space, Technology, or
both, which must be deduced from the value still avail-
able in the Shelter every time you implement them:
Barricade (-1 Space): These reinforced barriers make your
Shelter more resistant to attacks. Every time you select this
upgrade, the Defense of your Shelter increases by 10.
Dormitory (-2 Space): A Shelter that does not have a
Dormitory can only accommodate a single Survivor in
a minimally comfortable way. With this upgrade, your
Shelter can now house up to 5 Survivors.
Electric fence (-1 Tech; Prerequisite: Electricity): This
defensive structure was installed around your Shel-
ter, protecting it against invaders. Every creature that
charges against your Shelter to attack it takes 2 damage
per turn. If the Shelter is destroyed, the attacking crea-
tures no longer take damage from this device.
Electricity (-2 Tech): Either through solar panel systems
or wind turbines, your Shelter generates enough electric-
ity to power a wide array of equipment.
Garage (-1 Space): Your Shelter can house 2 small or 1
large vehicle, completely concealing them from enemies
and protecting them from the weather.
Infirmary (-1 Space): This room is equipped with sim-
ple medical devices and supplies. A Survivor who rests
in it heals faster, recovering 2 HP per day instead of 1.
Library (-1 Space): This chamber stores rows of books.
All Mind checks are made with Advantage in this room.
Observation Post (-1 Tech; Prerequisite: Electricity): A
motion detection system equipped with a set of video sur-
veillance cameras that watch the region, preventing Survi-
vors inside the Shelter from being surprised by Enemies.
Perimeter Defenses (-1 Tech): A series of landmines and
traps are set outside your Shelter, protecting it. Every
creature that charges against your Shelter to attack it
takes 6 damage once.
Radio Communicator (-1 Tech): A shortwave radio
system that enables communication with anyone with a
similar one if you are in the same scenario.
Water Collector (-1 Space): A set of barrels and con-
tainers that collect, store, and purify rainwater and
groundwater, providing 2 units of Food per day.

Call Home
A Place to Call Home is a short introduction that puts the player in the role of a Survivor who
has just barely dodged death by escaping an attack from the hordes of Cthulhu. With their Shelter
destroyed, the Survivor leads a group of refugees to a small town in the middle of nowhere.
The group’s members are exhausted and injured, and you are the only one who escaped unscathed.
It becomes your duty to find a new Shelter in a reasonably safe area and with the necessary
resources to help your friends’ recovery.
Choose one of the premade Survivors at the end of this booklet (the aggressive John or
the versatile Hellen) and head on your journey. People are counting on you!

 - INTRO -
Middle Of Nowhere
The story begins when the Survivors’ van stops by the
outskirts of a small town in the middle of nowhere (feel
free to choose the name of the place). They drove a long
way trying to lose a horde of Psychos that invaded their
Shelter and followed them for miles. Behind, they also
left the remains of their beloved hometown, now de-
stroyed by the forces of Cthulhu.
All Survivors are injured except you; a few will not resist
for long. It is crucial to find a place to hide and rest,
hopefully, one that can be improved to become a per-
manent Shelter. The group shares a humble meal before
reconvening to determine the next steps.
The town nearby looks small and deserted. There aren’t
many signs of destruction, but that does not mean the
place is safe. So, after the gathering, you convince the
others that the best course of action is to go alone on
a scouting mission while keeping communications over
the walkie-talkie.
You can start by doing a Mind check to find where to
go. If successful, you realize that the best way is to go
through the woods that circle the area since the main
roads could be excellent spots for ambushes.
START
HERE

Hernan Aochar (Order #39804658)
- PART I -
The Watcher
The woods separate the hill where your group is resting
from the town. You march quickly towards the tree line
to get to the first building as soon as possible, but still
carefully enough to avoid noises or to draw attention.
Things look fine, but in the middle of the way, you must
do a Mind check: if successful, you will be able to spot a
small platform camouflaged on top of a tree. A Psycho
is holding a rifle, in a perfect position to surprise anyone
who tries to enter the town by its main road.
You can decide if you want to try to pass him unnoticed
or to sneak behind him for an ambush. Make a Body
(Subterfuge) check, and if you are successful, he won’t
be able to detect you. The watcher is agitated and, with
his bloodshot eyes, tries to aim with his rifle to find you.
If you defeat the watcher, you will eliminate the risk of
your group being ambushed while entering the town. If
the watcher has allies nearby, you also eliminate the risk
of him alerting them. You can also get his rifle, which
can be useful later.
- PART II -
Outskirts
After leaving the woods, you reach the first buildings.
They are not very close to each other, but the area still
offers enough objects, cars, and other things for you to
hide, making your early exploration relatively safe.
If you decide to climb one of the buildings, make a
Body (Athletics) check. If you are successful, your char-
acter manages to climb the side of one of the buildings
and, from the top, is able to see the whole town. The
view includes the main square (see PART III - Sacrifice)
and the town’s hospital at the back, by the end of the
main street, which can be a perfect shelter for the group
(PART IV - Home Is Where the Heart Is).
If you fail and can’t spot the square or the hospital, then your
mission will become more difficult. You will need to walk
around the outer streets, at risk of being spotted by local Psy-
chos. Roll a d10 to see if you can spot the square; if your re-
sult is equal to or lower than 5, you will be found by a group
of 1d10 of Psychos patrolling the area. Fight them or try to
escape by doing a Body (Subterfuge) check. Redo this pro-
cess until you are successful in your goal of spotting the main
square; after that, repeat the process to find the hospital.
