RPG: ‘Call Of Cthulhu’s 50th Anniversary Set Is Gorgeous

Chaosium calls its Call of Cthulhu 50th Anniversary Slipcase Set “the complete experience.” And if you’re a collector? It probably is.

Much as he would in a sleepy North England town along a dark, foreboding coast, Cthulhu is on the rise. Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu is bigger than ever these days – so much so that live plays of the RPG were featured at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Which is absurd. I love it. It makes me wonder what kind of world we even live in, but hey, I love it.

And now, as Chaosium celebrates its fifth decade, it marks the occasion of more than 50 years of RPG greatness, with a brand new 50th Anniversary Slipcase Set. With new cover artwork and a collectible set that will look good on any Investigator or Keeper’s shelves, Chaosium has pulled out the stops for this one.

Chaosium’s 50th Anniversary Call Of Cthulhu Slipcase Set – Available Now

This is one for the Cthulhu collectors out there. Or if you’re someone who’s been tempted to try the game, this is a way to snag the whole set with stunning new artwork. It’s not a new edition – nor even a new setting; you’ll find the classic 1920’s New England setting described in detail with its twists, turns, dark alleys, and darker rituals.

But the new artwork is amazing. Each of the core rulebooks gets an updated cover, and there’s a new Keeper Screen pack with a stunning new GM screen, so you can keep those secrets well hidden. Until it’s too late.

“The Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook, Investigator Handbook, and Keeper Screen Pack are brought together in a premium collector’s slipcase, with all new cover art by acclaimed Swedish artist Ola Larsson to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Chaosium.

Playing the role of steadfast investigators, you travel to strange and dangerous places, uncover foul plots, and stand against the terrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. You encounter sanity-blasting entities, monsters, and insane cultists. Within strange and forgotten tomes of lore you discover revelations that humanity was not meant to know.”

The slipcase set is available now. And, of course, whenever you order it, you get a PDF copy right away. Chaosium may be afraid of many things, but digital formatting a book you already own isn’t one of them. If this is this is your “jump aboard” moment, you picked a good one.
