5 out of 5 rating for Horror on the Orient Express
The original campaign, written in the early 1990s, is one of the three truly ‘classic’ Call of Cthulhu campaigns - along with Masks of Nyarlathotep and Beyond The Mountains of Madness. The premise is essentially a murder mystery that takes the investigators on luxury train journey with multiple stops across Europe with weird plot twists along the way. It needs to be noted that this campaign is huge (with about 1000 pages of text in the box), and much of this is down to finely researched historical detail and a multitude of handouts that are given out as clues. The production standards, including editing, is of a very high quality and while I only own the pdf currently, the box set would be a major investment in gaming entertainment. I’m not that much of a fan of the new 7E Call of Cthulhu rules, but they aren’t especially obtrusive in supplements like this and, as a first major supplement would make an excellent intro into the new edition. In short: this is solid gold for gaming.
