That's too bad that Nocturnum isn't that good. Where can I find the above mentioned scenarios? I didn't have much luck when I searched for them. The only scenario on Drivethrurpg.com that I could find was Shadows of Yog-Sothoth. Is that any good?

Well, I liked Shadows but it is a tad long. The stuff I mentioned you would probably have to Ebay. As far as I know none of it is in print any more!

There's a guy in our group who swears by Nocturnum. We tried to play it once, until everyone's schedules starting blowing up, and we had to restructure our group with only half the original members, and a cadre of new folks. He's still talking about trying to play Nocturnum, though. We did play most of the first "module" included in Nocturnum, and I thought it went well, but he's a good GM, even with mediocre material, so that doesn't necessarily say anything for the product itself.

Still, Delta Green and Delta Green: Countdown are two of the best rpg supplements ever written for any system. And although intended for BRP Cthulhu, it's a good 95%+ usable with any system out there, including d20 CoC, d20 Modern, GURPS, Alternity, Con-X or whatever other system you use for your horror/conspiracy games.

If you wait a month or so (hopefully), d20 Delta Green will be coming out in hardcover. Also, if you go here, you can find a bunch of Pagan Publishing stuff. No need to thank me, just doing my job.

For those interested, The Stars Are Right is actually back in print:

Edit: If it's just modern day books you're looking for, Unseen Masters and Goatswood also fit the bill. Both are BRP, not D20. I thought both books were outstanding, although opinions seem mixed from what I've seen online (no surprises there). Goatswood is presented as a sourcebook for the titular British area, but is actually mostly scenarios (most of which are good).

Unseen Masters has three scenarios, all of which I thought were quite good. However, they're all complex, and the last two require some prior setup in the campaign. I don't think any of them are for beginners, either players or GMs. The first one could be used as a good campaign kick-off (since it draws the PCs together into an investigative taskforce), but it has the potential to be pretty deadly, and would need a forgiving GM to make it a campaign start.

The new edition of TSAR is pretty nicely done (I own the original as well as the new one). They did a good job of updating the modules and only a few of them have any sort of dated feel. It's worth the buy for anyone considering running CoC Current Era.

I've been debating whether or not to get it, actually. What kind if updating did they do, and how are the new scenarios that weren't in the original?

I saw this T-Shirt at GenCon and would have bought it if they had it in my size! Argh!

Hi Guys,

I lost track of this thread, but I'd like to belatedly thank all the people who (months ago) suggested ways I could get d20 Call of Cthulhu.

In the end I bought it on eBay for about 20 euros. My copy is a bit crinkly, however, and I suspect it was water damaged at some point.

Still, I do have it, and its a great book.

Hey, Joe, do you still have that article? I'd like to read it if you do.

That is not dead which can eternal lie

I will soon be drawing to a (perhaps temporary) close my long-running Lord of the Rings campaign. To fill the void, I have chosen to run a d20 Modern/Past Shadow-Chasers campaign of Victorian-era horror. Think "X-Files, set in 1890" and you're in the right mindset.

While it may not technically be used in a strictly Cthulhu d20 campaign, I will be using my poor, neglected CofCd20 book for spells, some monsters, tomes, and so on.


Edit: Just a side note. I can't run straight D20 Cthulhu because I run my games at a game store, and someone else there is already running a BRP Cthulhu game. I don't want to step on his toes. Still wanting to do a horror game, I decided to homebrew a "campaign model" (since that's the D20 Modern term for a "campaign setting" ) using D20 Modern/Past, and elements from Call of Cthulhu D20 and OGL Horror.
