Over 90 supplements have been printed for a total of 400,000 books sold over the last 22 years. Call of Cthulhu has won over 40 gaming awards including Best RPG of all time by readers of the Arcane magazine. In 1996, Call of Cthulhu was the second rpg to be inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design Hall of Fame. To this date, only two other RPG's share this honor. Call of Cthulhu has also been translated and published in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Finnish, and Hungarian (the Russian edition is a pirate edition). Therefore an additional 200,000 non-english gamers have also answered the Call. Call of Cthulhu is recognized as a true classic. This game continues to delight players after 20 years in a field where games generally disappear within three to five years after their release. Call of Cthulhu is published by Chaosium Inc. Chaosium is one of the original publishers of paper roleplaying games and has been in business for almost 30 years. Chaosium is famous for the excellence of its game designs, and has perhaps won more industry awards than any other company in Adventure Gaming.

I should get these rules. I've been a relative newcome to all things Lovecraftian, began reading his stories about 6 months ago. What I would really like to see is some new companies sculpt some awesome Cthulhu-esque miniatures. There are a few around, if you look hard enough, but I think we need a whole new updated line.

i was working on some greens a while ago, i think i'll get them finished and eBay them with rights to reproduce

The RAFM creatures are quite good, and the characters are interesting. Early Bob Murch, so if you like his style, you'll love these! I have CoC 2nd edition, and we used to love it. Some of my fave RPG moments came from playing that game, and the RQ rules-engine is still the best in my humble opinion. The combat system is so smooth that there is no reason it couldn't be used for small skirmish wargames.

I do like Bob Murch's style (Pulp Figures, right?) quite a bit. Can you still find the RAFM ones around? Do you know how they 'measure up' to modern minis...Sometimes, I can get a little scale anal......(that sounds worse than it is) LOL

My only local shop still has a bunch. The humans are skinny, but tall enough to fit w/ current 28mm stuff.
