(Geek & Sundry). But something that’s overlooked about this classic horror RPG… is that it’s also one of the most versatile and well-researched historical RPGs around... I mean honestly, you can now play CoC in more time periods than your average season of Dr Who.

My favorite roleplay system
The books, slip screen, and keeper screen are fantastic, and the set comes with a few really cool goodies like scenarios to run. The screen is the main attraction here though, it contains a gamut of useful information, there isn't a single thing on that screen that isn't 100% necessary to running the game. The only reason this didn't get a 5 star review is that some of the materials that it came with such as maps and sheets were somewhat low quality, specifically the map for Amidst the Ancient Trees, which seems to be a printed out screen shot of a page in the book. Other than my small grips, this is a fantastic buy.

7th Edition Expectations
Call of Cthulhu 7th edition! What to say? I was hesitant at first when I heard of a new edition. The old incarnation of the game was fantastic, so I often wondered how it was going to change, and usually thought the worst. But 7th edition blew me away. The improvements have changed just enough to freshen up the game while still keeping the system we know and love intact. The changes are smart and posses quality mechanics, not gimmicks. Some changes are purely common sense (attributes as percents, half and fifths skill checks) and some are true game changers that are really brilliant (pushing skills, bonus/penalty die, and luck). Now the big seller are the books themselves. They are beyond gorgeous. Quality covers and bindings, which I was pleased about. The paper is high grade as well. But everything, and I mean everything, is in color and has amazing artwork. The slipcase set is worth every penny and I am seriously contemplating on getting another set to keep pristine! Chaosium hit the ball out of the park on this one.
