Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition is a new RPG Core Rule Book from Chaosium Inc.. For a long time, since the late 80s, I have been playing Call of Cthulhu in its various forms, off and on. Some would say that it is one of my better games. I had gotten used to the idiosyncrasies of the simple and rather abstract system but found myself often wanting more structure and definition in the system. With games like 3rd edition D&D, followed by Savage Worlds and now 5th Edition D&D, it has driven my need for a little more “game” in my Call of Cthulhu game.

Achtung! Cthulhu: Keeper’s Guide to the Secret War is a new RPG Core Book from Modiphius Games. Having reviewed the Investigator’s Guide, it is only natural to take on the next book in the series – the Keeper’s Guide. For me, as a keeper or game master, this is where the meat of the story begins. This is where the setting really comes out for me. Included in this book, among other things, are Allied and Nazi forces & intelligence agencies, Occult organizations and Mythos-based missions, new tomes, secret weapons, artifacts & equipment, key characters & vile creatures, and new rules and strategies for World War II combat & survival. Like the Investigator’s Guide review, I thought it best to go chapter by chapter and comment on each.

Realms of Cthulhu is a Savage Worlds RPG Setting Book from Reality Blurs. Call of Cthulhu has been one of my core games for years. I fell in love with it back in the late 80s when I got to play it for the first time. I have been a diehard supporter of the core CoC system since I started running it. It is very open, free-formatted, and easy to play. It allowed for such great role play and storytelling in my many years of experience with it. I continue to run it at least once or twice a year at a con locally.
