Horror

A WORLD OF MYSTERY, HORROR, AND ADVENTURE IN A BOX!

This Starter Box contains everything you need to start playing Call of Cthulhu—the tabletop roleplaying game of mystery and horror.

Players take on the role of investigators of mysteries, uncovering dark secrets, encountering strange monsters, and thwarting sinister cults. Together, you and your friends create and develop a story in which each of your characters plays a leading role, which could be foiling some dastardly plot or stopping horrors from beyond space and time!

Roleplaying gaming is a social pastime. Everyone works together in a team, each playing an investigator character. One player runs the game—the Keeper of Arcane Lore—who referees the game and presents the  adventure plots to the other players. Think of it a bit like acting in a drama, but where there isn’t a script. Dice and the rules of the game determine the success or failure for your character’s actions—all while you are propelled into dramatic and nerve-tingling situations! The emphasis is on having fun.

Inside This Box:

• Book 1: Introduction and Alone Against The Flames—a solo introductory adventure, teaching you the basics of Call of Cthulhu as you play through a mystery.
• Book 2: Call of Cthulhu Starter Rules—the essential rules, everything needed for starting play.
• Book 3: Adventures—three starter adventures for your players to explore.
• Ready to Play Investigators—five ready to play game characters.
• Blank Investigator Sheets—ready for creating your own investigators.
• Roleplaying Dice – a set of six polyhedral dice for use in the game.
• Player Handout – a set of ready to use props.
• Adventures!

This box comes packed with four classic adventures for over ten hours of game play.

• Alone Against The Flames
• Paper Chase
• Edge of Darkness
• Dead Man Stomp

Call of Cthulhu is the definitive mystery and horror roleplaying game and has won over 40 awards, including being inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Art and Design Hall of Fame. When you are ready to delve deeper into the game, expand your fun with the 7th edition Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook and Investigator Handbook.

Weird shapes in the park? Odd rumbling noises in the basement? A lurking dread in the kitchen? Bad dreams involving strange adventures and bizarre creatures?

Identifying the lurking horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos is never an easy task, so researchers need all the help they can get—don’t leave home without the Field Guide!

Penned by Sandy Petersen, the creator of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, Petersen’s Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors is the essential spotter’s guide for the budding and experienced preternaturalist.

Over 50 beasts of the Cthulhu Mythos are detailed and categorized with background information, size comparison charts, habitat and lifestyle notes, and much more. Each entry is accompanied by a full-colour illustration of the dreaded entity.

Petersen’s Field Guide To Lovecraftian Horrors is completely rules-free. You can use it to inspire your own Call of Cthulhu (or RuneQuest or 7th Sea!) scenarios, or the book itself can be used as an in-game prop—a tome of forbidden knowledge!
