In the late 1930s, an air route was established between Britain and Australia.
Known as “The Kangaroo Route”, the service used flying boats to connect the far-flung reaches of the British Empire in style, offering a first-class experience involving luxury hotels, decadent meals, and stopovers in exotic locations in the Middle East, India, and Asia along the way.
This sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition and Pulp Cthulhu can help you recreate that experience, with information on:
The Short S.23 “Empire” flying boat
The air route between Britain and Australia
Stops along the way
Adventure hooks for overnight stops and en route
Aircraft crew and passenger NPCs
Currency conversion rates
And more!
The areas covered in this source book include locations in:
Europe
Middle East
British India
Burma
Siam
Malaya
Singapore
Netherlands East Indies
Australia
Whether you are looking to move your Call of Cthulhu adventure somewhere exotic, your Investigators/Heroes are hot on the trail of a cult with global connections, or they need to get as far away from Europe as possible in a hurry, a trip along the Kangaroo Route might be just the ticket…
