Getting started in the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game.

The list author says:
	"I admit, the only 'real' essential on the list! Everything you need to get started with this fun, eerie and cerebral rpg (bar dice) included. And several great adventures to start you off."

The list author says:
	"If you purchase only one other, make it this.The best city source book ever written for an rpg. Several scenarios and an incredibly in depth base of operations for your investigators. Weeks of play."

The list author says:
	"A superb collection of  unconnected, haunted house style scenarios (although that capsule description scarecely does them justice). Read, and wonder why all rpg's can't have such good material."

The list author says:
	"When you've played or been keeper for a few scenarios, you'll want to step up to a fully fledged campaign. This is perhaps the best of the currently in print options. Not for first time Keepers."

The list author says:
	"For a 'pulp' style campaign, Shadows fits the bill. Not perfect, but still better than much other material made for other rpgs. An Indy-esque globetrotting epic, with a villain you'll love to hate."
