Kickstarter [Chaosium] Call of Cthulhu 40th Anniversary Classic Kickstarter is Live!

[Michael O'Brien]

With literally one hour to go in our Call of Cthulhu Classic Kickstarter, people have been trying to triangulate on exactly how many scenarios are in the 2" boxed set, so we thought we should provide a list:

• The Haunted House (by Sandy Petersen)
• The Brockford House
• A Beginning Scenario for a Campaign
• The Wail of the Witch
• Shadows of Yog Sothoth
• The People of the Monolith
• The Warren
• The Auction
• Black Devil Mountain
• The Asylum
• The Mauretania
• Gate from the Past
• Westchester House
• Paper Chase
• The Mystery of Loch Feinn
• The Rescue
• The Secret of Castronegro
• The Haunted House (by Keith Herber)
• Shadows over Hollywood
• The Underground Menace
• Valley of the Four Shrines
• Curse of Tsathoggua
• Trail of Tsathoggua

That's 23 scenarios, although Shadows of Yog Sothoth is really a campaign and you could equate each of its 7 chapters to a scenario. Doing that would bring the total to 29!

What's more, the boxed sets and PDFs on offer are not only packed-full of nostalgia from the birth of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game in 1981, but are also fully compatible with the 7th Edition of the game!

Last chance to back, the campaign ENDS Sat 24 July at 7pm EDT / 4pm PDT!

Kickstarter has just notified us that 5718 backers pledged USD$591,470.01 to help bring our Call of Cthulhu Classic project to life.

That is amazing, astounding, and awesome. It exceeded our expectations and we feel like we just rolled a special success. Thank you to all who joined us for this intense ritual to bring back some of the Great Old Ones. Our efforts certainly succeeded.

As the saying from 1928 goes, "That is not dead which can eternal lie." In our case we don't have to have a lot of early Call of Cthulhu books just lying in the archives. We're bringing them back onto your gaming shelves for you to read, play, and enjoy. There's lots more info to come, but right now we wanted to focus on thanking everyone who backed the campaign for making it such a success. The Stars Were Right! And it was all down to all of you!

If this is all reprints of the older edition, is there anything I should be interested in if I like 7e and have all the materials from that Kickstarter?

The five supplements included the Call of Cthulhu Classic Kickstarter were not part of the 7th Edition Kickstarter and have been long unavailable in print. All told there are 29 scenarios to play.
