MOB Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Reviews from R'lyeh: The Greatest Roleplaying Campaign Ever? "If Masks of Nyarlathotep is the campaign by which all other Call of Cthulhu campaigns are measured, then Masks of Nyarlathotep: Dark Schemes Herald the End of the World just raised the bar."

MOB Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Exploring the Otherworlds of Fiction, Magic, and Gaming, Andrew Logan Montgomery: Masks of Nyarlathotep: the Review "The fifth edition design team of Mike Mason, Lynne Hardy, Paul Fricker, and Scott Dorward has managed to the unexpected; they have released an edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep that actually improves upon the original. This is the same thrilling--and often terrifying--Masks that you know and love, but in every measurable way it surpasses any iteration before it. It looks better, reads better, and with massive amounts of support for the Keeper, runs better. If you play Call of Cthulhu, you need to own it. If you don't play Call of Cthulhu, now is the time to start. Masks of Nyarlathotep once again sets the standard for what a complex, lengthy RPG campaign should look like, and with products like these Chaosium reminds us exactly why it is as storied an institution as it is. Masks is a classic car rebuilt from the ground up with modern parts and the original's soul." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOB Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) "...this new edition of Masks will set the bar for roleplaying campaigns for some time to come... the new Masks of Nyarlathotep is everything that fans of Call of Cthulhu would want from an update of one of the most compelling RPG campaigns ever written. For players it will be a defining experience of what an RPG can be, offering an immersive, multi-faceted adventure into the heart of both cosmic and human darkness. For Keepers, the book is meticulously researched and provides all the resources and tips for running this holy grail of campaigns." —Another great review from Games Vs Play. http://gamesvsplay.com/first-look-review-masks-of-nyarlathotep-5th-edition Edited July 1, 2018 by MOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
