A New Edition of Call of Cthulhu!
CALL OF CTHULHU RULEBOOK Horror Roleplaying in the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft
CHA 2396 $39.95 ISBN 1-56882-173-5 6th Edition Hard Cover, 8.5 x 11 320 pages, Illustrated Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game Series
The Great Old Ones rules the Earth aeons before the incidental rise of humankind. They came from the gulfs of space, waged war upon one another, and then were cast own by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found in the remote extremes of our planet. Upon uncharted islands, within dark ocean depths, under burning desert sands, locked within polar ice, miles below the Earth's crust they lay imprisoned. But when the stars are right they will awaken and walk this Earth once more.
Call of Cthulhu is Chaosium's classic roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror in which ordinary people are confronted by the terrifying and alien forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. Call of Cthulhu uses Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying System, easy to learn and quick to play. This bestseller has sold over 300,000 copies worldwide and has won dozens of game-industry awards. In 1996 Call of Cthulhu was elected to the Academy of Adventure Game Design Hall of Fame. In 2001 Call of Cthulhu celebrated its 20th anniversary. In 2003 Call of Cthulhu was voted the #1 Gothic/Horror RPG of all time by the Gaming Report.com community. Call of Cthulhu is well-supported by an ever-growing line of high quality game supplements.
This new hardback edition is completely compatible with all of our previous supplements for Call of Cthulhu. Some sections of the book have been corrected and clarified, and the book includes some new interior art as well as incorporating the layout from our Origins Award winning Call of Cthulhu 20th Anniversary edition. This is a complete roleplaying game in one volume. All you need to play is this book, some dice, imagination, and your friends. |

SHADOWS OF YOG-SOTHOTH A Global Campaign to Save Mankind
CHA 2397 MSRP $23.95 (was $22.95) ISBN 1-56882-174-3 160 Pages (was 144) Call of Cthulhu Campaign By Sandy Petersen & Friends
The Silver Twilight is a secretive, international order dedicated to the destruction of the human race. As brave investigators, you must piece together passages from esoteric books, shards of strange artifacts and puzzling letters to discover the Silver Twilight's loathsome goals.
Shadows of Yog-Sothoth is a modestly-sized campaign of seven scenarios. During the course of play the investigators penetrate the outer layers of a secret sinister occult organization led by the lords of the Silver Twilight. Beginning in Boston they investigate an organization in New York, run afoul of a coven in Scotland, roam the desert of the American southwest, vacation off the coast of Maine, and explore the mysteries of the South Pacific.
In addition to the campaign, this book includes two bonus scenarios. The People of the Monolith introduces the mysteries of the Cthulhu Mythos, and no harm can come to the investigators except through insanity. As such, is perfect for introducing new players to the wonders of Call of Cthulhu.
The other bonus scenario, The Warren, presents and unsettling challenge for even experienced players.
Originally published in 1982, this new edition includes modified episode scene changes, player-handouts guide for the keeper, and new illustrations and diagrams. It is 144 pages, perfect-bound, illustrated with an index. |

Descartes ne nous gratifie pas d'une reliure souple et qui se décolle au bout d'une semaine..
Apparement les reliures des derniers suppléments Shadowrun sont plus résistantes... (le carton utilisé est plus souple, et la colle, bin elle colle mieux ! ) Qu'Ithaqua Vous Démembre Avec Son Souffle ! |
