Game Summary

One of the Core game books for Cthulhu 5.5.

A sourcebook for the players in "Roaring Twenties" Cthulhu campaigns. This handbook contains a wide variety of information for the player. An overview of the Jazz age; historical and cultural facts about the era. How to become an investigator; occupations and skills for the cultist-basher. Information on research, communication, media, and equipment. If you are suffering under the delusion that guns will do any good against elder horrors, there is a chapter covering period firearms.

5 / 10g026rA great resource for players who can't figure out what type of skills a given occupation should have. Watch out for the occupation "extras" included with the various job descriptions though, as some can be game breaking if not handled carefully.
6 / 10ShannonAA slight improvement over the original, overall a decent piece of reference for players.
