Since we're sharing resources, over the last few years I've been putting together a big list of Call of Cthulhu (and related) articles from periodicals. You can check it out here.

Holy crap. That's an insane amount of references and work. Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap. That's an insane amount of references and work. Thanks for sharing.

Every once in a while, I get to the end of my available resources. And then somebody says, "Hey, I happen to have collected a full run of (for example) Lider magazines! Would you like to check them out?" And it starts over again.

Although, admittedly, I've got most (if not all) of The Unspeakable Oath that I still haven't gone through, because I know exactly how big a job that's going to be....

A few of other games that can really help with running Call of Cthulhu would be Monster of the Week, Blades in the Dark, and Mothership.

Monster of the Week for the amazing monster and mystery creation rules and fronts (aka countdowns).

Blades in the Dark for the great presentation of clocks and countdowns. The online SRD has everything you need if you don’t want the full game.

And of course Mothership for the superlative Warden's Operations Manual. To my mind, this is the best referee book made in the last few years, if not decade. Not just for horror, but it's spectacular for horror. It's $20 on DriveThru and well worth the price. Not sure how to make a horror scenario, this book will show you step by blood-soaked step.
