Chaosium Unveiled: Inside Inside Call of Cthulhu Slipcase Set
What’s Inside?
The Keeper Rulebook
This book contains the core rules, background, guidance, spells, and monsters of the game. It is everything you need for Call of Cthulhu at your fingertips, and will enhance all of your games. The Keeper Rulebook is intended for use by the Keeper of Arcane Lore—the Game Master who will present the scenarios to the other players.
The Keeper Rulebook is a veritable grimoire of rules and inspiration to make your Call of Cthulhu games the absolute best they can be. Within, you’ll find: A bestiary of Mythos entities to pepper your Call of Cthulhu scenarios and campaigns; two complete scenarios, handouts and pregenerated characters; full rules for the Sanity system that sets Call of Cthulhu apart from other horror games, and much more!
The Investigator Handbook
This book contains expanded rules for creating player characters, a wealth of over 100 occupations and skill descriptions, as well as guidance on getting the most from the game. It introduces a range of organizations for your investigator to belong to, detailed information about the classic 1920s setting, and advice for all budding and experienced players alike.
Within, you’ll find: Full rules for creating unique characters for Call of Cthulhu; a chapter on advice for both roleplaying and Call of Cthulhu in general will benefit new and returning players; a primer on 1920’s New England, the signature setting of Call of Cthulhu, and much more!
The Keeper Screen Pack
More than just a screen... the Keeper’s Screen Pack enhances your games of Call of Cthulhu with scenarios, reference tables, and maps that increase the flow of play, and help to immerse you in the horror of the Mythos. Saying that, it is an amazing screen too!
Inside are two ready-to-play scenarios, each set in 1920s New England; A set of large, full-color maps featuring the world, Lovecraft Country, and the city of Arkham itself; and of course a 34’ Keeper Screen evocative artwork facing the players, while the rear of the screen summarizes important mechanics, statistics and charts.

(Geek & Sundry). But something that’s overlooked about this classic horror RPG… is that it’s also one of the most versatile and well-researched historical RPGs around... I mean honestly, you can now play CoC in more time periods than your average season of Dr Who.

“Is Call of Cthulhu the best roleplaying game ever written? That would be an interesting debate in 2075 when role-playing hits its centenary. There will never be any consensus on that, as gamers are vehement defenders of their favorite system. Certainly, the BRP engine is hugely flexible and easily comprehensible.. What IS the case is that this is definitely the best version of possibly the best roleplaying game ever written. The bar has been raised and good luck for any designer trying to improve on it.”

Good quality.
This set is pretty neat. Everything you need to play the game is inside this slipcase.

Best Value Collection for a Long-Term Campaign
Buy this slipcase instead of each of the three books individually. Not only are most of the rules and background information a Keeper will ever need included here, a total of four high quality scenarios are part of the Keeper Rulebook as well as the Keeper Screen Pack. After running the Starter Set scenarios and The Haunting, these four Investigator scenarios kept our group busy for months!

Best quality tabletop rpg books!
These are the best quality books for a tabletop rpg I've ever seen, and that's saying something cause I have a big collection of them. These books are sturdy, they dont collect fingerprints, they are formatted excellently and have 3verything you need to start the game and more! They have the keepers book, investigators handbook, the keeper screen, as well as 2 starter adventures, several maps, and 6 character sheets so you dont have to print some right away. This slipcase set is very much worth what you pay! Well done chaosium!

Behold the Austere Absolute Beauty of the Slipcase!!
Absolutely phenomenal introduction for a new Keeper to Call of Cthulhu. The materials given are of the absolute best quality, brilliantly bound with gorgeous full-color artwork that completely oozes in Lovecraft tone and theme. Having only ever played Call of Cthulhu, I was eager to learn more about the rules and run my own games. The Slipcase set has provided me with a one shop stop, with all of the rules clearly laid out in the keeper's book, with a plethora of spells, monsters, scenarios, and tips on how to run the game. As a GM of other tabletop RPGs, I was worried that the keeper's book would not include things like monsters/feats/spells etc. and that I would need to purchase additional books and materials but oh Nyarlathotep was I wrong! Not only do they have just about every monster/god you could possibly ever need to use in your game but it also includes wonderful sketches, great descriptions, and story hooks for the monsters as well as quotes from Lovecraft himself to really bring the baddies out of the page and into you and your player's heads. Likewise, the Investigators book is filled with every possible choice/option you could need for your players. Finally, the keeper's screen is very sturdy and has a bunch of useful looking reference tables as well as truly phenomenal artwork. As if it wasn't enough value, the screen also came with poster maps and 2 scenarios to run as an added bonus! In short - Have I mentioned just how amazing the artwork is in these books? Whatever they are paying their artists - it's not enough. Sure, you can get a digital version of all of the components but believe me, there is nothing quite like holding these books in your hand whilst running the game and seeing and sharing the beautiful images in it. Pick up this slipcase set whilst it is still around as its an absolute steal!! I would say this is a must-have for any new keeper and even if you have all of the components already, I'd go so far as to consider selling them off and using the funds to pick up this truly gorgeous slipcase set. There's nothing quite like it on my gaming shelf and I couldn't be happier with it! 5 Stars, A+, 10/10, 2 thumbs up, would buy again, would recommend to a friend!

Great value and worth picking up
I've always been a fan of Call of Cthulhu and after seeing there was a new 7th edition I decided to pick up the new version. I decided on getting the box set version and it was well worth the money, the quality of the product is great and it was handled with the utmost care with no wear or tear in the mail. The product also arrived very quickly and I was shocked at how quickly it did arrive since I am used to everything taking ages to get to me in my neck of the woods. But the best thing about this pack is that you get the .pdf's as well as the physical books which is great and is why when I want any Cthulhu books I get them straight from Chaosium because of the value for your money and the quality of the product. So if you are interested in playing Cthulhu for the first time or are a fan of the Call of Cthulhu system then consider picking up this value box set, I've had great fun with this and met many new friends of Roll20 because of Cthulhu 7th edition.

smells like love
These high quality hardcover books and 7th Edition system is ultimately the best system ever created for modern settings. Happy with the purchase and timely delivery in UK. I suggest adding the website a 6 starts rating so we can use for the products like these :P

Incredible package for 7th Edition
This is a beautiful product well worth the money for Keepers (and players!) who want the entire collection at their fingertips. The binding, layout and full color art are amazing. Each book has it's sweet spot making them must haves. The Keeper Screen is just a great Keeper reference with a wonderful full length investigator exploration artwork which really sets the mood, and two more great scenarios (Blackwater Creek and Missed Dues) which will bring many hours of fun to your players. A great set for players and collectors.

Best edition so far

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
My group has been playing Call of Cthulhu using the free quick start guide and some old books for reference. However, it quickly became obvious that this system and setting has hooked them all completely. So I stumped up for the slipcase set, and by the old gods it's a beauty. This review is purely a first impression review, and I can say that impressions are good. The books are fantastic, well bound and presented. The slip case looks stunning and will sit nicely on the shelf, slowly corrupting the other RPG books around it. The additional material from the keeper screen looks really good and I can't wait to give it all a proper read. System wise, I cannot comment on the updates from previous instalments. But in comparison to other games we play, the mechanics of this game work really well. The tension of the adventures is well captured and so far, each session has built up into some hanging on to the dice really tightly moments. This product is amazing and each of the books is of a quality I've not come across in a long while. Chaosium has done a brilliant job and I can't wait to get other books to join these ones. Oh and the addition of the free PDFs is really welcomed.
