Call of Cthulhu Investigators Handbook (Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying)

I don't tend to buy the newest edition of anything, but this one is worth it. The cleanup of the rules has been so worth it. Better explanations, faster game play, and good consolidation of skills. This really is one of the few times paying the extra money for the next edition was worth it.

The rulebook is great, but to get more as a player, this adds sooo much more.

I bought the Call of Cthulhu starter set and loved it. So I decided to delve more into the game and It was not disappointing. This handbook contains ten chapters.1. Introduction (Introduction, example of play, and What you need to play Call of Cthulhu)2. The Dunwich Horror3. Creating Investigators (This covers steps of creation, what the numbers mean, examples of creation, period names, number reference charts, lots of examples and help)4. List of Occupations (descriptions and information on jobs for your characters)5. Skills (List of skills, living standards, becoming a believer, and optional rules)6. Investigator Organizations (Lists of example organizations your investigator can join or be a part of)7. Life as an investigator ( Monster size charts, and how to play as an investigator with great information on role playing)8. The Roaring Twenties (As a history buff this is a great chapter. It contains information on events and people of the 20's)9. Advice for Players (Setting the scene and rules advice)10. Reference (Equipment list, travel, modern day, maps of Arkham and the surrounding country)Overall this is a great book. I do recommend this to anyone playing. Its a great resource and the company does a good job of laying it all out. The pictures are fun and nice. Its a solid purchase.

It's a cool system, takes a little getting used to the d6 system over a d20 system but I'm happy with it.

Classic rpg. Just don't read the in-universe books.

I gotta say, this error was turned around quickly by Amazon. The first one that arrived was printed upside down and backwards. Amazon got me a new copy super quickly and it is correct. They made the return easy, so I'm happy to change this over to a 5 star. Great work, Amazon!

it has all the information I needed to make a character when the seventh edition had a lack theirof of such an attachment of information to make a playable character before. I quite like the way you can have an option or two about how to not just make one but also to have a treasure trove of new information at my fingertips to play Call of Cthulhu with this and I hope to play a multitude of characters with all of this the more I play this game one day..

This system is a ton of fun. It's quick and easy to build characters and understand skills. I also enjoyed they included background information on the mythos the game is centered around as well as information about the main era the game takes place in (the 1920s). This system works in any timeline and they have information and character sheets set for modern times as well, however the bulk of the supplemental materials and the initial stories are set in the 20's.

Love this game. Great breakaway from d&d.

This book it's incredible I love all the illustrations and the history,

As a keeper I really recommend this for players, extra depth and character options plus a useful guide for NPC flavour for me !

Entrega muito mais rápida que o esperado, Amazon.com.br está com tudo.Sobre o livro, referência boa para o "investigador" (jogador) do RPG de mesa "call of cthulhu" em sua sétima edição montar seus personagens e conhecer as mecânicas do jogo.Note que o livro com as referências para se mestrar o jogo (ser o "keeper") se chama "keeper rulebook", e é complementar a este livro. Não há problema apenas o "keeper" ter uma cópia de cada livro e os investigadores compartilharem o investigators handbook para criação de personagens, visto que este quase não é usado como referência pelos investigadores durante a partida em si, visto que o foco é na história e não mecânica.Nota nº2: livro em inglês.

Me encanta este libro, se explica con todo lujo de detalles ocupaciones, armas, como crear tu personaje... Un must-have. Una de las esquinas me ha llegado un poco chafada, eso sí.
