Notes

  • Additional works (tabletop role-playing games):

    During the 1980s and early 1990s, Penelope Love wrote a range of material for Chaosium's role-playing games, both for Elric (based on the Michael Moorcock stories) and Call of Cthulhu, based on H.P. Lovecraft's mythos.

    In addition to being the primary co-author of Terror Australis (1987), a Call of Cthulhu campaign set in 1920s Australia, she has also written or co-written the following game scenarios for Call of Cthulhu (most of which have a Victorian or 1920s setting):

    • Fatal Experiments [Call of Cthulhu]: campaign 'Tatterdemallion' (with Richard Watts and Kevin A. Ross)
