Call of Cthulhu: The Writhing Dark
Call of Cthulhu: The Writhing Dark is a very special collaborative community project from Shane Tyree.
Working in conjunction with Shane on this project are:
- The amazing people at Chaosium Games who have officially licensed this product, making it the true successor to Shane’s initial foray into the weird with the popular Cthulhu Mythos Playing Cards that he worked on in 2012.
- Special thanks to CUR3D for the remix.
Call of Cthulhu: The Writhing Dark consists of three distinct offerings, each designed to bring fans of the ,Weird, together to combine imaginations and ideas and to create something truly unique.
The Writhing Dark: The Eldrich Tarot: The first of the three part project is a Tarot Deck, based off of the commonly used and recognizable Rider-Waite model. The Tarot Deck will feature 78 unique illustrations, iIncluding all 4 suits (Swords, Wands, Cups, Pentacles) as well as the Major Arcana. All of these illustrations will incorporate ideas from the community, and some may even incorporate members of the community themselves. With this deck you will feel as though the eldritch lore of the writhing dark is close to hand.
Call of Cthulhu: The Writhing Dark from Bicycle: The second piece of the project is a Bicycle branded deck of traditional playing cards. These cards will feature some of the art from the Tarot deck, as well as some unique art for Aces and Court cards, taking into consideration feedback from the community. Initially the only difference in the editions is the tuck box. It would be great to have all original card artwork in both, however cost prohibits that from being an option right away. All of our cards are printed on the highest quality card stock in the world. Bicycle cards are prized by collectors and players for their quality.
The Writhing Dark: The last piece of this project is what makes it truly unique. In honor of NaNoWriMo we will be creating “The Writhing Dark Anthology”. This anthology of short stories will be comprised entirely of submissions from our backer community. Our editor will assist with pairing down selections, and offering basic assistance, but in essence this will be your story. Your tribute to the weird, the horrific, and the unknown. Your 4-5,000 word contribution will be included if they are suitable (reasonably legible, make sense, and follow a horror/weird fiction theme) in an E-book. As the project progresses we will unlock illustrations, celebrity contributors, and other awesome upgrades to make The Writhing Dark as beautiful as it will be horrific. You must be a backer to contribute. The final product will be printed, bound, and interred in the Lovecraft collection. A lasting tribute to his legacy.

Stretch Rewards
What are stretch rewards? They are special items I can add on if we’re fortunate enough to reach higher funding levels. The costs of these extras and cool things forces us to have to consider carefully what features to “stretch” for. This project will also be different in that there are rewards that are unlockable through our Alternate Reality Game. The details of which can be found in the FAQ, or Here.
