An in-depth review of The Apocalypse Machine by Andrew Brehaut. The text of the book deviates away from the neutral, descriptive voice that many RPG authors prefer and instead takes a direct and prescriptive tone. This results in a lively, readable book that shows Walmsley is both excited about the Cthulhu Apocalypse setting and is […]

I don’t know how I missed this rather amusing review of Trail of Cthulhu on I Pants The Dwarf. There’s one other thing that Trail of Cthulhu changed out, and it’s not only a doozy, it’s the game’s saving grace and the number one reason you should try this version. … Each high-level being is […]
There is a review of Out of Time on rpg.net, awarding top marks (10/10). I highlight this quote because Jerome is worthy of praise: LJerome really and truly captures the mood and feel of Call of Cthulhu in spooky and downright distributing vibe and wish that Chaosium would have employed his talents for the anniversary […]
A positive review of the Occult Guide by Andrew Brehaut …the book is an entertaining read – if you are like me, you might find yourself puzzling over facets of the mystery for hours.
A review of Repairer of Reputations on rpg.net by kafka (9/10) …it is one of the best Trail of Cthulhu adventures written to date. Laws has done an admirable job at adapting the story and making a fine adventure.
A review of Rough Magicks by committed hero on rpg.net who awarded us 9/10 – good marks from a tough reviewer. A short but useful way to refine the theory and practice of magic in a Trail of Cthulhu campaign.
Here is an actual play recording at Fear the Con of the purist adventure Dance in the Blood. It takes a while to get going.
Dan Harms continues his quest to review all Trail books with this review of Out of Time (in general) and The Big Hoodoo (in particular). Out of Time is a great scenario package if you haven’t purchased these scenarios yet, and each promises an evening of fun.
Here is a short review of Shadows Over Filmland by Simon Crowe. Overall whilst I would have preferred one or two scenarios were dropped to flesh out the others it’s still a great selection of scenarios, and I recommend it to any Trail of Cthulhu keepers looking for something different either as short one-shots or […]
Here is an in-depth review of Trail of Cthulhu by Michael Harnish. Mr Harnish understands why GUMSHOE is not “railroady”, too. By now it should be evident that I really love Trail of Cthulhu. I think it manages to capture the feel and style of HPL’s stories, particularly when played in Purist mode, with rules […]
