Unnatural Selections #88: 'This is a big campaign and a big book' - what fans are saying about our reprint of Beyond the Mountains of Madness
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 17th Aug 2024
The 'Unnatural Selections' series is our regular round up of notable Chaosium reviews worth a look.
We do have plans for a brand new edition of Beyond the Mountains of Madness, but that's still many years off. In the meantime, due to popular demand, we've released a remastered reprint of the original version for Call of Cthulhu fifth edition. No need to pay collector prices for this legendary campaign!
Here's what critics and fans are saying about it:
- "Unique. Unprecedented. Jaw-gaping. Immersive. Engrossing. All these, and many more, are adjectives that describe BtMoM, and I am barely doing it justice... Everything is right about this reprint. The price is only USD 10 higher than the price of the 1999 edition, the product is a hardcover instead of a softcover, it has a classy integrated bookmark that you will use to death, a superior layout that is much easier to peruse, and includes the pdf!" — Antonios S. RPGNet.
- “As far as I am concerned it’s the best “big campaign” ever published for the game… the campaign is absolutely stuffed both with interesting incidents along the way and a hideous discovery at the climax.” — Refereeing and Reflection.
- "Chaosium has done an awesome thing."— RPG Imaginings.
- "This is a big campaign and a big book - a great, big book. I'm a huge fan of At the Mountains of Madness and the creators of this campaign have developed a world of CoC roleplaying as a sequel to that story, but also gives an Antarctic milieu in which to set a number of adventures. The campaign itself promises many game sessions in an extended set of related adventures. Can't wait to run my players through it!" — KW (customer review).
- "High quality printing - great value" — MH (customer review).
- "This is a massive and complex adventure for Call of Cthulhu - 5 Stars" — Brett (customer review).
- "A slow burn story where the horror gradually builds throughout the adventure, and placing the harsh environment of Antarctica as it's own antagonist are brilliant." — KS (customer review).
- "Couldn't be happier with this edition. Very little work required to adapt to 7th. An absolute classic." — DPB (customer review).
- "The fact that you get the PDF with the hardcover is what makes this reprint worth every penny IMO." — MM (customer review).
- "This is simply one of the best Call of Cthulhu campaigns ever published. The level of research and detail on the subject is fantastic, producing an epic game that transports the players to another time and place. More than just an historical exercise, BMM captures the sense of magnificent scale found in Lovecraft’s novella, and adds to the Mythos in a way generally only found in the best Mythos fiction." — AR (customer review).
