Citizens of the Lunar Empire

This is full of roleplaying goodness. Each dwelling is detailed enough to be useful but not over-detailed to the point of knowing what it in all the cupboards. The NPCs are given a reasonably long character sketch and reasonably short set of stats, probably a good balance. Each dwelling has a number of Scenario Hooks that can be used to include the dwelling/NPC in Adventurers' schemes and a secret that probably comes from its earlier incarnation as a freeform game.

There is far too much detail to go through on a single reading and this is the kind of book that a GM could dip into for weeks. It really suits a band of Adventurers who get the chance to live here or to live nearby and investigate the comings and goings.

The sketch rules on money and income are useful and provide a guide on how to live.

The interior artwork is excellent, as always by the ever-reliable Dario Corralo, the cover art is very evocative, even without the Bernie meme. The supplement is easy on the eye and very clear, detailed without being cluttered.

So, overall an excellent supplement, well worth 5 stars. It could have done with a few scenarios to link the various NPCs together and provide a structure, but any GM with a few hours to kill can come up with many different scenarios.

This is a very useful tool, well presented and full of information. Nick did something similar as a PDF for the Jonstown Compendium, but I think that the Excel Spreadsheet works better. as this is a spreadsheet, it is easy to filter by various categories, so you can see what free Miskatonic Repository items there are, what are the best sellers, which are for the era you are playing, which had the most 5-star reviews in and much more.

If Nick manages to keep it updated then it would be an excellent resource for new supplements.

I wasn't keen on the colour coding for Price per Page, but it had the values as well, so I could use those.

It only costs a dollar, so if you like Call of Cthulhu and want to support fan supplements, why wouldn't you buy this?
