It’s been over 50 years since Call of Cthulhu was first released, making it one of the oldest TTRPGs outside of Dungeons & Dragons. To celebrate, publisher Chaosium has recently unveiled a series of new Call of Cthulhu Collector Editions, which are available exclusively on their website.
Each of the books is bound in faux leather (not human skin, like you might think) and wouldn’t look out of place on the shelves of the Miskatonic University library. Below, we take a closer at these terrifying new tomes.
What are the new Call of Cthulhu Collector Editions?
There are three separate new Collector Edition products:
- Pulp Cthulhu Leatherette: This is the special edition version of the popular Pulp Cthulhu book first published back in 2016, which offers a more action-packed version of the traditional horror RPG.
- The Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic Leatherette: This is the special version of the book of spells that was first released in 2017 and contains over 550 spells, all of which have been updated for the 7th edition of the game.
- Masks of Nyarlathotep Leatherette Slipcase Set: This is a deluxe two-book version of the original set of the same name published back in 2018 and remains one of the most iconic Call of Cthulhu RPG campaigns of all time.
How much are the new Call of Cthulhu Collector Editions?
The leatherette Collector Editions of Pulp Cthulhu and The Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic both retail for $90 USD (not including shipping and handling).
The Collector Edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep, however, will set you back a sanity shattering $249.99 USD (although to be fair, you are getting two books in the set).
Final Thoughts
Over the years, Chaosium has released a number of deluxe hardcover collector editions for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, and this latest batch look to be just as impressive.
If you’re looking to get your tentacles one of of these grizzly grimoires, you can order them now exclusively from the Chaosium website.
