The publication of Cthulhu Dark Ages opened up the possibility of source material and support published in Germany by Pegasus Spiele being translated into English, rather than the other way around. Unfortunately, this is something that Chaosium has yet to exploit, leaving room for Pegasus Spiele to take advantage of this as Pegasus Press. Not with supplements like Malleus Monstrorum, Berlin -- im Herzen der grossen Stadt, and Wales, but with material taken from their magazine, Cthuloide Welten. Now appearing in an English edition, Worlds of Cthulhu bridges the gap between magazine and supplement, appearing only twice a year and being only 130 pages long. The idea is not just to reprint some of the best articles from the German editions, but to eventually accept English language . . .
