The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.321: ‘ The Beast, It Cometh, Cometh Down’
Today I received my slipcase hardcopy of Masks of Nyarlathotep, revised and updated for the 7th edition of the Call of Cthulhu rpg - not only the greatest campaign for CoC, but quite possibly the greatest rpg campaign ever.
And there is no doubt that Chaosium have done the new edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep justice - this is an absolute beast of an item, whose production values are through the roof: the slipcase set not only contains the campaign spread across two hardback volumes (and spanning exactly 666 pages of content), but it also has a dedicated Keeper’s screen for the campaign, and a shedload of glossy, full-colour handouts.
Unfortunately, this is going on the pile of presents for Christmas, so it’ll be a few weeks before I have the chance to take a proper look at Masks of Nyarlathotep; even so, I’m seriously thinking about getting a gaming group together in the New Year in order to play this.
Needless to say, the slipcase edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep rates a doubleplus-extraspecial Nice.
