Mail Call: Call of Cthulhu Classic Edition

Drive-by today. I backed the Call of Cthulhu Kickstarter a while back and received my books in the mail a few days ago.

I am rather pleased with what I got to be honest.

The box is thick and sturdy.

There is enough material here for a life-time of play.

It also works nicely with my leather Anniversary edition from a couple years back.

The dice that came with the boxed set even match my leather edition.

This works out well for me.  My son is all about Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. He has a ton of material for that. I get all the pre-6th edition material.  Sure they are still largely compatible, but it makes for a nice cut.  Plus this is the edition I like to play Cthulhu by Gaslight with.

Nostalgic. Looks liek a very faithful re-creation. I remember buying 1st edition way back when and running it for friends starting in 7th grade and going on for years. For most of tham it was their first exposure to Lovecraft. Shadows of Yog-Sothoth was my first big campaign ever, prior to that I'd just run one-shots or barely-connected short homebrew adventures.
