The Prisoner's Dilemma (Call of Cthulhu)
Publisher: Chaosium
by K - J. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/17/2023 15:20:30

The Prisoner's Dilemma is a very enjoyable scenario to run as a Keeper. The players who I have ran it for so far have also enjoyed it. The overall idea is well thought-out, and it's easy enough for Keepers to set up quickly and run. The author provides ample amount of information (backed by research). The handouts and maps are numerous and useful for creating a more immersive game for players. I especially appreciated the PDF having a TOC with clickable links to make searches faster as well as a scenario flowchart (brilliant!). It is easily adaptable should you want to trim it down for time's sake or change a few minor details to suit a particular preference.

The only modification I made was to create pre-gens who were related and/or worked together. This usually helps new players connect a bit faster, especially when online and they have not played togther yet.

I recommend The Prisoner's Dilemma to both new and experienced Keepers.

Alpaca in the Sheep Field
Publisher: Chaosium
by K - J. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/17/2023 15:00:07

UPDATED REVIEW: Don't pass over this one-shot because the title sounds like a campy spoof or parody! While it can be--if that's how your group likes to play--then by all means, go for it. This is a well-written, modern-day one-shot.

I have ran this so many times the last few months for both new and experienced players. It's a sandbox scenario of sheep and chaos. Players can go about and investigate, chatting with NPCs and gathering clues. I cannot recommend Alpaca in the Sheep Field enough. And for this price, you cannot go wrong!

Debutantes & Dagon

Corsets and bonnets and shaws--oh my! Debutantes & Dagon is a concise, helpful guide for creating your next PC for a Regency Cthulhu game (or any other RPG in Jane Austen's era). The artwork with the humorous subtitles add wit to this compact supplement. I have already been inspired by it to create some of my own characters. It's definitely worth the price. Kick up your petticoats and purchase this to get your badassery on today!

The Legacy of Lombard House
Publisher: Chaosium
by K - J. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/11/2023 18:36:58

The Legacy of Lombard House is a fascinating read. The author/illustrator clearly went to great lengths to develop this. The opening premise for this investigative adventure is solid and well-laid out. The artwork is surreal and hauntingly beautiful, very fitting for a classic Call of Cthulhu scenario. The amount of details in this creation is enough to supply both new and experienced Keepers with loads of useful information to successfully run their sessions. This is obviously not a one-shot! There are pre-gens with decent stats and characteristics, so Keepers can concern themselves with prepping other areas of this sandbox scenario. The author also included a timeline of events, an alternative ending, along with an abundance of maps and handouts, and even tips for Keepers--making this product well worth the price.

To be fair, I debated whether to deduct a star off for some minor formatting concerns (for example: indentions aren't 100% consistent) and the lack of a clickable Table of Contents, which makes navigating around a larger document easier and is a benefit of owning a PDF. Ultimately, I decided against this, as these do not diminish the quality of content packed inside this module.
