Introduction
Y
ou hold in your hands a monograph for Chaosium’s first annual Gen Con Caligo
Accedendum Tournament (CAT). The tournament showcases our Cthulhu Dark Ages
Roleplaying game in much the same way our hallowed Cthulhu Master’s Tournament has
showcased Call of Cthulhu for more than a decade. The inaugeral staffers chose the Latin name,
which translates to “the approaching darkness.” It also makes for a nifty acronym that fits in well
with the Lovecraft Mythos.
This year’s staff comprised of six fellows. Four of whom were able to physically make Gen Con.
These steadfast six began working on the tournament in November of 2003. They’ve put in a
tremendous amount of work over the last 10 months to make the first annual CAT a memorable
one. We also had the help of several volunteers who were wrangled in by their friends at the last
moment to act as assistant GM’s or “Things.” Without the tireless efforts of all these staffers, the
2004 CAT could not have taken place.
The CAT tournament allows 36 players to play through up to three rounds of well researched
Cthulhu Dark Ages Adventures. The tournament is run in an elimination style format. By the final
round on Sunday, only six players remain. A winner is chosen at the end of the final round by the
players and staff.
We hope that you take this monograph home with you. Whether to keep it as a memento of
your CAT 2004 experience or to share the adventures herein with friends at home or a local con-
vention. With this book, you could run your own mini-Cthulhu Dark Ages Tournament.
The CAT will be back again for Gen Con 2005. We hope to see you there as a player, or per-
haps as a new staffer.
Enjoy!

As you can see, a ‘monograph’ is simply put a limited publication from Chaosium. They
are works that we deem are interesting enough to a limited audience of hardcore
Chaosium gamers and keepers. Our monograph collection allows us to experiment with
all sorts of crazy ideas without having to risk the future of our company by printing them
as a full fledged book the first time around. They are cheap enough to print that we don’t
lose too much money if it turns out we were dead wrong. Because of the economies of
scale involved, they are only available directly from Chaosium. Some of these mono-
graphs, should they prove popular enough, may eventually see publication as a standard
Chaosium book. You can find a variety of Monographs at our website Chaosium.com.
