Overgrown Cemetery & Family Crypt
Unearth the Dark Secrets of New England's Most Haunted Graveyard
Welcome to the haunting grounds of the Overgrown Cemetery & Family Crypt, a comprehensive 15-map pack designed specifically for Call of Cthulhu and modern horror TTRPGs. Set in a classic, foggy New England environment, this pack takes your investigators from the rusted wrought-iron gates, past weeping willows and ruined chapels, straight down into the terrifying depths of a hidden crypt.
Tactically, these maps offer a masterclass in tension-building. The surface maps provide plenty of line-of-sight blockers like crumbling mausoleums and giant tombstones, perfect for stealthy midnight infiltrations or frantic escapes from aggressive cultists. Once underground, the flooded burial vaults and claustrophobic catacomb mazes force players into tight, terrifying encounters where retreat is rarely an option.
For the Keeper (GM), this pack is a ready-to-play narrative toolkit. Whether your players are tracking a missing person to a fresh grave, disrupting a grisly ritual in the ancestral tomb, or discovering the unnatural chasm lurking beneath it all, the environmental storytelling and atmospheric variant options ensure your horror campaign will leave a lasting mark.
Typical Game Uses
- • Investigation of a freshly disturbed grave
- • Midnight cultist confrontation and chase
- • Descent into an ancient, trapped crypt
