The Call of Cthulhu: Starter Set contains everything you need to start playing Call of Cthulhu the tabletop roleplaying game of mystery and horror.

Players take on the role of investigators of mysteries, uncovering dark secrets, encountering strange monsters, and thwarting sinister cults. Together, you and your friends create and develop a story in which each of your characters plays a leading role, which could be foiling some dastardly plot or stopping horrors from beyond space and time!

Roleplaying gaming is a social pastime. Everyone works together in a team, each playing an investigator character. One player runs the game the Keeper of Arcane Lore  who referees the game and presents the story and adventure plots to the other players.

Think of it a bit like acting in a drama, but where there isn’t a script. Dice and the rules of the game determine the success or failure for your character’s actions all while you are propelled into dramatic and nerve-tingling situations! The emphasis is on having fun.

Contents:
Book 1: Introduction and Alone Against The Flames - A solo introductory adventure, teaching you the basics of Call of Cthulhu as you play through a mystery.
Book 2: Call of Cthulhu Starter Rules - The essential rules, everything needed for starting play.
Book 3: Adventures! Three starter adventures for your players to explore.

Paper Chase
Edge of Darkness
Dead Man Stomp

• Ready to Play Investigators - Five ready to play game characters.
• Blank Investigator Sheets - Ready for creating your own investigators.
• Roleplaying Dice - A set of six polyhedral dice for use in the game.
• Player Handout - A set of ready to use props.

Great Starter Kit!

Honestly, Call of Cthulu looked a little intimidating to start with, but I was eager to try it and took a chance on the starter set. As a result, I could not recommend this set highly enough! It guides you through the basics of character creation, play style, and rules better than any other TTRPG started set I’ve encountered. 11/10 would recommend for those wanting to dip their toes into Call of Cthulu!

New favourite TTRPG!

I've played D&D for almost a decade and recently branched out to try a new TTRPG. I think Call of Cthulhu is my new favourite! The Starter set is incredible and includes 4 adventures which help you learn the mechanics. This would be great for anyone new to the TTRPG realm as well as it walks you through the basics and gives you options. I love how in Call of Cthulhu you play as regular people and your hit points matter - there's no cleric who can heal you with a snap of their fingers or insta heal after a long rest! As a result you want to avoid combat unless absolutely necessary. So if you love role-play games and enjoy a good mystery with a bit of a spooky factor this is the game for you. The Call of Cthulhu starter set is excellent!!!
