7 / 10ShannonAA lot of good material, tightly connected to the rulebook (though the non-adventure material has long since been incorporated).
7 / 10cj.23Worth finding a copy of just for the superb 2 page adventure Papeer Chase, and the strange fate of Douglas Kimball, which I still recall 23 years on. The rules updates to first edition Cthulhu prove a curiosity, a sort of Cthulhu 1.5. A good book, but by no means necessary for your Cthulhu collection except as a curiosity.
7 / 10JDCorleyExcellent material with good supplementary advice.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
