Description:

Horror Roleplaying in the Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft

The Great Old Ones ruled the earth aeons before the rise of humankind. Originally they came from the gulfs of space and were cast down by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found on remote islands in the Pacific, buried amid the shifting sands of vast deserts, and in the frigid recesses of the polar extremes. Now they sleep -- some deep within the enveloping earth and others beneath the eternal sea, in the drowned city of R'lyeh, preserved in the waters by the spells of mighty Cthulhu. When the stars are right they will rise, and once again walk this Earth.

If you are sick of the fantasy setting for now, and want to try something different, this is it. This game perfectly captures the mood of HPL, exploring mortality and sanity in a way that other RPG's can't.

What more can be said about CoC? ONLY the GREATEST Horror RPG ever conceived, if not arguably the best overall RPG ever made. Do yourself a solid and purchase it.

Loved it! I liked the gameplay, the world, and the writing. I am not big on the combat, but thankfully combat in this system is not as much needed as D&D. I played only one game, and even tho I knew what was going to happen via reading everything from Lov [...]
