Welcome to the latest ’5D Pop Culture Website Pick Of The Week Award’, the opportunity to share something in the world of Pop Culture (usually, but not exclusively RPG-related). This week’s choice falls well and truly within of the RPG universe and will shortly be on my own ’to buy’ list on the DriveThruRPG link below.
*
And while the ’5D Pop Culture Website Pick Of The Week Award’ may not be; a) The most prestigious award in the TTRPG community, or b) A snappy, concise award title – well, it will be something we take rather seriously at 5DHQ as we fastidiously wade through the plethora of weekly releases.

And while there may be no review, or even more importantly, no prize, there is the knowledge that the winner has our undying love and adoration…..though not in a creepy way, obviously.

Pacific Horror [BUNDLE]
*
This special bundle product contains the following titles.
A Dive to Strange Depths
The undersea research vessel Fairweather II has not reported back at the expected time to the Pearl Harbor marina. A derelict ship had been spotted adrift not far from the area that was being researched. Authorities have swung into action to figure out what happened. However, what they find when they get to the abandoned boat defies explanation. Bullet holes and spent ammo casings speak to an attack, but gore encased in bioluminescent slime, and marks that could not have been made by anything short of some huge tentacled creature speak to something else entirely. The covert nature of what was being researched out in an empty part of the Pacific is blown wide open, as rumors of sunken treasure, holy relics, and even the lost city of Atlantis circulate
The Forbidden Door
Kauai rises out of the pacific shrouded in mist and jungle. Strange things have been reported by lifelong residents and tourists alike. Lights aglow in strange colors upon the mountains, nocturnal insects buzzing in ways that sound like speech. Unnamed men on the roads at night keeping people from traveling to remote destinations.
Private investigator Brian Cray needs your help if he is going to find notable Archaeologist Robert Lockwood and his research assistant. Leads are growing thin and a trek out to the research camp high up upon the Napali coast might be the only move left if he is going to find some answers, and he doesn’t want to go it alone.
You’ve dreamt about a door under the island. A door in the darkness. Is that what Lockwood discovered? Is that why he is missing?
Pack your bags, you’re about to find out!
Featuring:
– Branching Investigation Paths
– An exotic island theme
– Content suitable for all ages and groups
– Five pre-generated characters

Host and Hostility: Three Regency Call of Cthulhu Scenarios
Our story takes place in England in 1812, only one year into the Regency era. A young lady of good societal standing is introduced at a ball to three potential suitors: a navy captain, a clergyman, and an aristocrat, all with dark secrets that lead to even darker consequences.
Host and Hostility is a collection of three one-to-one scenarios for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition by Chaosium, making use of the Regency Cthulhu sourcebook. The scenarios range from weird science to high-mythos. Each scenario is written to be run in a single 2-4 hour session.
Loom and Lucidity – A dashing but mysterious naval captain has taken Brighton by storm this Season. Where did they come from and what is the source of their fortune? And why did Lord Cosgrove drop dead as soon as he spoke against the gallant Captain? Intrigued by such an enigmatic person, the investigator accepts an invitation to a soirée in London with the highest of high society in attendance. There she will be have to battle to keep her wits about her as madness reigns.
Curate and Curability – The investigator is introduced to a young clergyman who is a widower, mourning the loss of his late wife. An invitation to his house in a secluded county village follows, but is there more to the draughty old vicarage than meets the eye? And what really happened to his wife?
Note and Notoriety – The investigator is invited to the ball of the season hosted by renowned aristocrat Sir Jasper d’Ulfrey. The lavish parties of Sir Jasper are known to all, and the guests are the envy of the ton. Little do they know that Sir Jasper has grown weary of his hedonistic existence. With the help of some of the more dubious books in his library he means to make this, his final grand ball, a night to remember…
