I consider this product quite frankly excellent. The level of information within and the depth of writing is perfectly pitched for running a fast paced, extensive Call of Cthulhu campagn in this interesting era. And I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of historical factoids I picked up while reading this. At 'pay what you want' as a price, you can't go wrong. Be generous, this book is great.

A very usefull setting guide for your CoC sessions in Australia. Do yourself a flavour and really purchase this book with a well regarded pay-what-you-want price. Really, you won't regret it!!

Dear Reader, Convicts and Cthulhu is 94 pages plus covers and PC sheets. Also the Contents are hyperlinked to the page. No Index. I paid 4.50 for this pdf as suggested. I was not disappointed. Convicts and Cthulhu is highly detailed as a source-book for Call of Cthulhu. It is set in 1800's Sydney Cove, Australia, near the beginning of colonization by the British. There are many mind-bending illustrations anda fabulous wealth of text, setting out what life was like during this period. Really outstanding was the attention to detail provided by the authors! There are six types of boomerangs shown in illustration. The effects of drunkenness are also featured, no really and right next the the effects of various levels of literacy! You could pay zero dollars for this masterpiece of role-playing but come-on chuck these guys a bone it won't hurt you. This was a labour of love for the writers and there are NO typos. Great read. Personally, I hope they do a similar source book for 1920's Melbourne so I can thrown them another bone. Cheers!

In addition to literally everything you need to play a Coc game in Colonial Australia bar the dice, this book provides excellent, historically-based story seeds in as well as an introductory adventure. The horrors of simply staying alive as a convict or native in the early penal colonies are neither sensationalised nor toned-down, there's no unecessary gendered language in the rules, and the sweet historical accuracy comes with rules for getting drunk on your rum ration, other people's rum ration, bathtub rum, smuggled rum etc.

If it lacks anything, it's guidelines on how to stat a kangaroo, because your players will interact with the wildlife in the least-informed fashion possible.

This is a great Cthulhu setting and being Pay What You Want, the price is right. There's one free adventure available which is worth getting. Cthulhu and 19th century Australia go along great together!
