Here's what reviewers and fans have to say about them:

Cthulhu Dark Ages 3rd Ed. – $44.99 $26.69

  • "Cthulhu Dark Ages is a brilliant addition to the line, a book anyone who loves the game needs on their shelf... It has everything the previous edition has and more... a major revision packed with all sorts of new material that the devious cultists operating the Chaosium know you will not be able to resist." — Andrew Logan Montgomery.
  • "A wonderful tool for spicing up your more conventional Lovecraftian games… Come for the chance to stab abominations with pointy sticks, stay for the loving guide to dark ages England." — Tabletop Gaming (UK).
  • "An excellent starting point for what can be a vibrant and dangerous new world for Call of Cthulhu players to go nuts and die in... the entire supplement is a clear indication of the passion the writing team had for the enormity of the project, and deserve serious applause and congratulations for it." — Never Read the Latin.
  • "Cthulhu Dark Ages is, in my opinion, one of the best Call of Cthulhu books to come out, from any edition… After reading the book, I was filled with ideas for a Cthulhu Dark Ages campaign. It screamed “don’t just read me, play me” in a way that only the best gaming books do." — Rolling Boxcars.
  • "A great fit for tables that still want a little sword and sorcery in their RPGs even if the swords can’t kill the monsters and the magic destroys the spellcasters." — Forbes.

Alone Against the Frost – $19.99 $13.19

  • "If you have a free night to yourself and want to fill it with interesting horror and trauma, this will make the night worthwhile." — Never Read the Latin.
  • "STYLE 5, SUBSTANCE 5. Alone Against the Frost is the best solo adventure new Chaosium has published up to now" — Antonios S. rpgnet.
  • "Brilliantly executed… Gavin Inglis and Glen Rahman’s Alone 'Against the Frost' from Chaosium is well-written, super challenging solo roleplaying for Call of Cthulhu." — The Staying In Podcast.

A Time to Harvest – $49.99 $32.99

  • "A splendid 1930s campaign splicing some canonical locations with the latest and greatest of 7th edition goodness... An unexpected addition to the Chaosium canon, but a very worthwhile and rewarding one." — Paul St John MacIntosh.
  • "This is a magnificent campaign, full of epic detail and executed to perfection. Call of Cthulhu fans should definitely have a look." — M.T. Black."For Call of Cthulhu fans, this is a strong addition to the game’s product line and will be a welcome addition to a collection... Of particular note is how well conceived the mission is. All of the different actors have clearly defined objectives. The investigators themselves, obviously, but also the antagonists and NPCs. Putting it all together makes the story work seamlessly as it’s easy to understand how all of the different parts are supposed to be working in concert." — British Fantasy Society.
  • "A Time to Harvest is a fantastic campaign book. I absolutely love that we finally have a campaign that is squarely in Lovecraft Country alone, and the atmosphere of this location is fantastic... This is an easy recommend to Keepers looking for a new experience to bring to their playgroups. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" — EuroCultAV.
  • "A Time To Harvest projects the careful study that went into lengthy development. It has everything that makes Call of Cthulhu campaigns great: complex antagonists, strange mysteries, interesting characters, and danger hidden in the open... A modern classic - I love it." — RPG Imaginings.

Scritch Scratch – $9.99 $6.59

  • "Asks the question, “What Terror Lurks Within the Gloomy Woodlands Surrounding a Sleepy English Village?”... A pleasingly low key one-shot of bucolic mystery and horror." — Reviews from R'lyeh.
