I dug out my old 5.5 Edition of CoC and looked up Edge of Darkness. Sure enough, the scenario in that edition takes place in 1928.

Grabbed a PDF today. It looks like a great addition to the Call of Cthulhu arsenal. -
I am looking at running Edge of Darkness for my next scenario, but in preparing for this, I came across something that did not quite fit. All references regard the Starter Set released as part of the Anniversary Edition. On page 19, it is stated that the scenario takes place in Arkham in 1923. Later, on page 31, it says that the Restricted Collection has already been established at the Orne Library. The Keeper Note even states that Dr. Armitage created the Restricted Collection in reaction to the events of The Dunwich Horror, something that does not happen until 1928. Am I just reading this wrong, or was there an error in the writing of this scenario?

Yes, I agree with you. That is why I was converting the ones I needed.

I copied and pasted the individual images from the NPC PDF into GIMP. I then added the alpha channel for transparency to the background. I did have to fill in a few small portions of the bluish outer frame so that the tranparency would not overlap some of the lighter portions of the NPC. Saved them as a PNG at their native 200dpi resolution. I hope that helps.

As mentioned above, The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia by Daniel Harms is what you seek. Anyone writing something about the Mythos should own this book. I also found this helpful: https://cthulhureborn.wordpress.com/2019/06/29/the-safewords-of-cthulhu/

I am in the process of writing some introductory scenarios, and I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on what the top 5-10 Investigator occupations are. I am asking this based on the standard 1920s era. My initial thought was to include the first eight listed in the Quick Start or the Starter Set: Antiquarian, Author, Dilettante, Doctor of Medicine, Journalist, Police Detective, Private Investigator, and Professor. What do you think? What occupations should be added to that list? Should some on the list be replaced due to lack of popularity?

Vellcrow replied to SentinelHillPress's topic in Call of Cthulhu
Thank you for this! -
Most RPGs have a difficult time reflecting real-world damage effects from firearms. There are so many variables at play it is almost impossible to quantify projectile damage on paper. But that does not stop us from trying! Also, there are so many tiny differences in handgun rounds that a S/M/L/XL(maybe) would probably be a better way to catagorize them. Lastly, a handgun is what you use to get you to your rifle/shotgun/tactical nuke...😁

I love Dr. Dick Danger, that is really cool! Here are a few I came up with for our game: Elizabeth Stephens (Assistant Librarian) Deep One Hybrid Random Investigator Meeting His Fate

Well done, Chaosium!

So my group played The Lightless Beacon this past weekend and a question was brought up about about making skill rolls. Early on, a call is made to make a successful Mechanical or Electical Repair roll. Normally, would each investigator make both rolls, or would they choose to roll whichever skill has the higher score for them? This is not in reference to a combined skill roll.
