2011 MARKS THE THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY of the
release of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
To celebrate this important and rare occasion in
our Adventure Gaming industry, Chaosium is proud
to offer a special binding of the current edition
(6th edition) of the Call of Cthulhu rulebook.
This 320-page book features thick (3 mm)
leatherette hard-covers with the front cover and
spine stamped with luxurious gold foil. The
interior pages are printed in black ink, on 90
gsm matte art paper. The binding is thread sewn,
square backed. Each book is individually
shrink-wrapped, with the barcode stickered onto
the wrapping so as to not mar the book cover.
Chaosium will offer a one-time printing of this Collector's Edition.
Call of Cthulhu is Chaosium's classic roleplaying
game of Lovecraftian horror in which ordinary
people are confronted by the terrifying and alien
forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. Call of Cthulhu
uses Chaosium¼s Basic Roleplaying System, easy to
learn and quick to play. This bestseller has sold
over 300,000 copies worldwide and has won dozens
of game-industry awards. In 1996 Call of Cthulhu
was elected to the Academy of Adventure Game
Design Hall of Fame. In 2003 Call of Cthulhu was
voted the #1 Gothic/Horror RPG of all time by the
Gaming Report.com community. Call of Cthulhu is
well-supported by an ever-growing line of high
quality game supplements. This version is
completely compatible with all of our previous
supplements for Call of Cthulhu.
