Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook - $54.95

"Call of Cthulhu is now the Pepsi of RPG franchises, alongside D&D’s Coke, and the game’s success is part of the revival of Lovecraft and Lovecraftian fiction." — Paul StJohn Mackintosh, Greydog Tales.

Roll20 Call of Cthulhu

Gateways to Terror - $19.99

"Now, if you really want a set of adventures geared towards beginners, Gateways to Terror has you covered. Within are three single location investigations designed to run between one and two hours: pure introductions to the game... Each is short and sweet, with no BS, sticking firmly to the investigate/confront formula. They’re all pretty satisfying too. All killer, no filler, as they say".— Vintage RPG.

Call of Cthulhu Roll20 Harlem Unbound

Harlem Unbound - $44.99

"A top tier supplement, which I think belongs in every Keeper’s library... All in all, it is the best historical RPG sourcebook I’ve encountered. It is very high quality, and has material enough for multiple campaigns, and it will both educate and inspire you. I highly recommend it." – Mindlands.

Roll20 Call of Cthulhu

Malleus Monstrorum Cthulhu Mythos Bestiary - $59.99

"Five out of five eldritch tentacles – I think the slipcase is worth it just for the first book of monsters alone. What a horrifying and terrifying collection to rend investigators with and threaten to eat the heads of heroes."
Charles Dunwoody, ENWorld.

Call of Cthulhu Roll20

Mansions of Madness Vol 1: Behind Closed Doors - $42.99

"Overall 5/5 – This collection of tales of troubled real estate offers a variety of fun and innovative approaches to a well-worn horror trope. Investigators and Keepers are likely to get some great gaming out of this collection." — H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.
