Call of Cthulhu: Starter Set

This Starter Set contains everything you need to begin playing Call of Cthulhu - the tabletop role-playing game of mystery and horror.

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

Role-playing is a social pastime. Everyone works together as a team, each playing an investigator character. One player leads the game - the Keeper of Arcane Lore - who runs the game and presents the adventure plots to the other players. Think of it a bit like acting out a drama, but without a script. Dice and the rules of the game determine the success or failure of your character's actions - all while plunging you into dramatic and nerve-wracking situations! The emphasis is on having fun.

The Call of Cthulhu: Starter Set contains:
- Book 1: Introduction and Only Against the Flames-a solo introductory adventure, where you learn the basics of Call of Cthulhu while playing a mystery.
- Book 2: Call of Cthulhu Starter Rules-the essential rules, everything you need to get started with the game.
