MOB Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) October 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu. In honor of the occasion, we have specially prepared a range of new investigator sheets, available free to download. The new sheets are currently include: Standard Call of Cthulhu (1920s and modern-day versions) Pulp Cthulhu Down Darker Trails (standard and pulp versions) Cthulhu Dark Ages (standard and pulp versions) Each version is “auto-fill” and can be kept and updated on a computer and printed out as needed. Each version is provided in color and black & white format. While these new sheets will look familiar to Call of Cthulhu players, there are a few differences worth noting: The new design allows the sheets to be used with a wider range of PDF viewers on computers and most tablets, as well as in preview mode on most computers. Note: the character sheets are viewable in a browser, but the auto-calc feature will be disabled. We’ve increased the text size where possible to make the sheets clearer to read. And, we’ve added a new (optional) third sheet that allows players to keep notes, write extended backgrounds, or record whatever useful information is appropriate. There are also some new features available, which are described in detail here. Call of Cthulhu 40th anniversary investigator sheets were designed by Mike Mason, Matt Ryan, and Max Harrison. Our thanks go to Lynne and Richard Hardy, Paul Fricker, Matt Nott, and others who helped to playtest the sheets. https://www.chaosium.com/cthulhu-character-sheets Edited August 28, 2021 by MOB 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
measuredrums Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 @MOB @Mike M... Just downloaded all of the new record sheets. I like them ... One point of concern, the 1920s - Standard Cthulhu sheets are both at very low resolution, so much so that they appear blurry and/or have digital artifacting present. All of the rest of the sheets are fine as far as their resolution goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassneedles Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 @MOB all look great! As I said in the other thread on this there is a typo on the download page. Under 1930s Pulp Cthuthu one one is labeled as "19230s - Pulp - Color" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading a post on the other thread regarding the updated record sheets, which stated the 1920s - Standard Cthulhu record sheet files were 14mb, as opposed to ~3mb for all the rest. I'm finding that the 1920s - Standard Cthulhu record sheet files that I downloaded are only ~600kb files(?!?) ... I believe somebody several overcompensated for the size when reducing those files to match the size of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hart8210 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I love the new sheets, thank you for them! We had trouble with some players being able to view the previous ones so these are very welcome. The corrected 1920s sheets look amazing! I love that they are fully vector and look great at any zoom level while still being a nice compact size. Are there plans to redo the others like this as well? They look good, but lose that crispness when zoomed in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text is readable and sharp, even if you zoom in very closely, and there are no digital artifacts at all! Not wanting to sound ungrateful for something that Chaosium offers for free, but is there any chance to have the other character sheets get the same kind of treatment? That would really be fantastic!

Yes, more character sheets are in the pipeline! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
