This is all you need to pick and run Call of Cthulhu 7e. Very nice examples of how to use the system and a godsend on making characters on the fly.

I got the idé to run the adventure from the YouTuber Seth Skorkowsky, who said it was a good introduction to Call of Cthulhu. It did not disappoint - my group and I had a great time playing it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone running Call of Cthulhu for the first time, since it is easy to run and was a hit in my game group.

The Call of Cthulhu Quick-Start is a fantastic way to get new Keeper's and players involved with the Lovecraft's mythos with a time-honored scenario The Haunting. I was introduced to this idea by my favorite YouTuber, Seth Skorkowski (see his YouTube channel for a more comprehensive review).

I ran this adventure for some family (4 players) who were only familiar with fantasy RPGs. This Quick-Start scenario wasn't too detailed on the rules but enought to get started and the scenario really opened the door to investigative RPing. Keeper's can even find more handouts online and feel accomplished being a apart of this popular scenario's history.

As a first time Keeper, this scenario has run 2 sessions of about 4 hours each, as i wanted these new players to really delve into the investigation and find as many clues as possible. The final confrontation didn't exactly prepare them, but it was still a great time.

Personally, I feel the QS rules could have done without the scenario at the end so that Keeper's could guard the secrets of the scenario from over-curious players (I'd have paid $$ to get it seperately if required). All in all, I love the QS rules and the The Haunting, and I feel honored to be a part of community of Keeper's who ran this adventure for new players.

for the low low price of free, this is an awesome introduction to 7e Call of Cthulhu. i always recommend people who are interested in trying CoC is to download this free quickstart guide, also Alone Against the Flame is free, so if you don't have anyone to play with, but still want to try CoC, Alone Against the Flame is another quickstart game that i really enjoy.

this module runs great with 1-3 players, so it'll be fun for everyone! once you're serious about picking up this game, all you need is the Keeper Guide to make your own investigations while not going insane in the process.

Video: https://youtu.be/BUavI100KGM These quickstart rules are exactly what they claim to be, a bare-bones explanation of Call of Cthulhu's basics to get a new Keeper up and running. For free, this pdf is certainly worth a read for anyone considering the game! However, I think many Call of Cthulhu fans would agree the 7e Starter Set does a much better job of guiding you through the learning process. You can see my walk-through of the CoC introductory rules in the video above!

Call of Cthulhu's written adventures are some of the best on the market. But The Haunting isn't one of them. It's a very straightforward scenario, but, as written, little of the investigation during the scenario actually helps the investigators rid themselves of the menace at the final location. Thankfully, Alone against the Flames is an excellent adventure to introduce you to the mythos, as well as give you ideas how to run a CoC adventure.

As for the ruleset, CoC's skill check system is easy to pick up for roleplayers familiar with other roleplaying games. However, the way most CoC adventures are designed, investigators have to follow a trail of clues -- and if they fail their skill checks, the game master has to find some way to put them on track again. 7th edition added a "push" mechanic which allows a player to attempt another skill check, which helps address this problem, but we now play a homemade rules-light system that takes care of this.

Finally, of course, these rules are free, and you only need to print about ten pages for each player so they have their own set of rules. No more "passing around the rulebook". I'm not sure what the best free adventure is, however.

SPOILER: I highly recommend removing the glowing symbols at the Church, since they're not even explained why they're there. You may wish to modify the tome found at the Church to contain a spell that will help the party at the climax.

I have always had a passing interest in Call of Cthulu. As someone who had gotten away from RPG's years ago in favor of tabletop wargames, I had always overlooked it in favor of something else. Then I stumbled upon Seth Skorkowski's reviews on YouTube and my interest was piqued. When I found out I could download the Quick- Start rules for free just to give them a try, I didn't have any excuses. So far , my son and I have created a couple of characters and are working out way through the game dynamics and I have to say I'm hooked! I'll be placing an order soon (probably for Pulp Cthulu first). Great job on the rules- they're excellent!

The classic role-playing game Call of Cthulhu is one of the greatest of its kind. Where in many games, you play a powerful character fighting monsters for treasure, in this game you are a vulnerable human fighting for your life and sanity. Based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, you must investigate and stop dark occult forces before they destroy you or drive you insane. This Quick-Start guide is a great introduction to the game. It features the classic adventure 'The Haunting', which Chaosium has included with the core rules for decades, making it a standard first-adventure for generations of players. The only downside to the compact quick-start guide is that it's a bit too small to fit in any detailed information about the 1920s. As game master (or 'keeper') you will need to know a bit about the 1920s to run the game. Your characters will likely get hurt, want to pay bribes, or buy weapons to fight the horrors they encounter. You'll have to know what technology is available at the time and for what prices, so do a little research online before running the game. Better yet, if you want an emersive experience, pick up Chaosium's Investigator's companion. It really comes in handy in any Call of Cthulhu 20s-era game. As well, the adventure gives you some hooks to keep the game going--if your players survive. I recommend picking up the full rules and some of adventure books. They are amazing, and some include amazingly elaborate handouts and setting-specific details. This scenario is a great introduction, but the game goes much deeper, and gets much scarier.

A great free intro to those who may have never played Cthulhu or those considering upgrading to the 7th edition rules.

All you need to play the introductory scenario "The Haunting" or the solo adventure "Alone Against The Flames" which is available from the Chaosium website for free.

Check it out.

This is a very nice face-lift of the CoC quick-start. There really aren't many rule changes, CoC/BRP is still one of the most consistent RPG rule-sets after all this time. I also really liked the new artwork and layout. If this is an indication what the full 7E rule-book will look like, my wallet is ready. 6E really had over-wrought fonts and a really dark look that was hard and painful to read.

If there's only one real downise, it's that at this point it would have been nice to get a new adventure. I can appreciate The Haunting, but assuming it'll be included in 7E like it has been for the past few releases, something new would be nice, especially veteran/returning GMs introducing CoC to new players with this quick-start.

First off: VERY few changes in 7th edition. DON'T GET SCARED OFF BY THOSE WHO SAY OTHERWISE. Your old books are STILL PLAYABLE. These quickstart rules are great. You can play the game for a long time using justr these rules, IF you have a list of occupations because these rules list just a few. So if ypou're on a budget, this plus an oldf copy of the Investigator's Handbook from a previous edition would let you play for yonks. Chargen is simplified, so when switching to the full game, players might want to redo their characters using the full system. As far as I can tell, all of combat and sanity rules are here and they offer all the complexity I need.

Call of Cthulhu is a great setting, and this is a simple yet solid rules system.

Did you like Call of Cthulhu, Editions 1 thru 6? Did you buy the modules, and other products? Own Cthulhu Invictus, Achtung Cthulhu, World War Cthulhu, Atomic Age Cthulhu? Do you own Chaosium's Basic Role Playing Game? Did you like them all? Did you find that with a little tweaking here and there, you could run 1st Edition modules with 6th edition? Did you enjoy a system so universal that you could, quite literally, use Cthulhian horrors to "enhance" your Stormbringer, Hawkmoon, or any other Chaosium setting? Did you like having a system so incredibly universal, that it all fit, nearly seemlessly to other systems/worlds?

Well.... Get ready to THROW THEM ALL AWAY!!! It's a BRAND NEW SYSTEM!!! And it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the old stuff. So... you've got a library full of great products... now useless with the new system.

Along with the website changes (Like those?), looks like Chaosium is changing their system. This is NOT an improvement.

Hopefully, they will publish some form of FREE conversion guide.

But if you are a Call of Cthulhu veteran, who truly loved the product, system and world... give the new edition a miss.

This quick start guide is worth the money spent... Nothing.

7th Edition appears to be nothing more than a fleecing of fans of Call of Cthulhu.

In the immortal words of every Call of Cthulhu player.... RUN!!!!
