But I’ve never cracked open any 1st-6th edition CoC rulebook and thought, “Boy, they’ve added a bunch of rules!” I do have a copy of 6th edition I can get to, though.Ħe is 320 pages, compared to 4e’s 192, so there’s been an increase in page count. I’d love to compare every edition, really, but all but a couple of my copies of the core rules are in storage. Maybe the Girthening of Cthulhu happened in 5th or 6th edition, and I’ve just forgotten about it?

4th and 7th have two full editions in between, plus several “.X” editions. There’s a stray page in the Sanity section I’d like, too, so let’s call it 9 pages. It’s really 7 pages, plus a paragraph on the 8th page. In 4th, I wouldn’t print a damned thing, because in 4e those same rules - core mechanics and combat - fit into 8 pages, and that’s being generous. I don’t need chase rules unless we’re having one.

Kelvin chalks up 130 pages of “actual game mechanics.” If I were printing out pages from the PDF for a condensed edition in the vein of DCC, though, I’d do pp.82-99 (core mechanics) and pp.102-129 (combat). As it notes on the back cover, though, you do also need a copy of the Investigator Handbook, which isn’t just a retreading of the same stuff minus the monsters and spells. 7th edition is split into two rulebooks, but the Keeper Rulebook contains the core rules. I wanted to see if I was just getting off on the wrong foot with 7e, so I ran a quick comparison: core rules in another edition vs. Bad first impressions don’t always stick, as I saw over the course of two tremulus campaigns.Īt this point, I’m still giving 7e the benefit of the doubt, but it’s starting to feel like I’m convincing myself to do that. Like, combat’s not all that complicated, but some people learn visually so let’s have a flowchart? Maybe! I hope so.

Maybe it’s a newbie/veteran thing again, though. I almost closed the book and put it back on the shelf when I saw that. In that same vein, opinions will differ on whether a combat flowchart is a bug or a feature. But a first-time GM might enjoy it, and some folks might find the list format useful as opposed to wasteful.īut the simple fact that resolving a chase might make use of 16 pages of rules is a huge turn-off for me. That’s a waste of space for me a paragraph with an example or two would have done the job. Half a page is given over to examples of hazards in foot and car chases, things like “Cyclists in the road,” in list format. Sometimes that feels overdone, but it’s hard to judge without playing the game.

If a mechanic involves multiple steps, there’s an example for each step, and then an overall example pulling things together. Sixteen pages!Ī portion of those 16 pages are devoted to providing examples, something 7th edition is splendid about. 16 pages of chase rulesĪ post Kelvin Green made yesterday, The Stars Are Right(ish), gave me pause: He mentions that there are 16 pages of rules for car and foot chases in 7th edition. For example, I can condense the DCC RPG - nearly 500 pages - into just 18 pages of rules I need to actually run the game. But not all lengthy rulebooks are created equal. But is it usefully huge, or annoyingly huge? I’ve still got Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition on the brain, and it’s really fucking huge - particularly compared to earlier editions. I'm learning the internals of these sheets as I go, so I've left a lot of cruft around as well, I'm sure.Lately, when I read a new game (or assess one before buying it), I find myself asking this question: “ How much of this do I need to run the game?” Here's the main Call of Cthulhu character sheet, with the tabs from the 5e OGL sheet added: I've moved all of the backstory to the 'Bio' page: I kept the 'Spells' tab and made it a larger repeating area for 'Tomes, Spells, and Artifacts' (WIP): NPC Options Screen: And finally, the 'finished' NPC Character Sheet: I've also modified the roll template to support the npc_name_flag and whisper roll to GM functionality: I've still got a lot of work to do - renaming things, changing the behavior of weapon rolls, adding repeating custom skills/language skills, support for the old & new roll types. I'll attach some images of the work I have done so far.

The code is a bit messy at the moment, but I've successfully combined the 7e CoC sheet and the 5e D&D sheet into one. It's nowhere near perfect, but just wanted to put it out there, get some feedback. (Printed) Cthulhu scenarios and campaigns always have NPC character stat blocks, so I've attempted to adapt the OGL NPC sheet for Cthulhu use. 5th Edition D&D is the NPC character sheet.

Of course, even though there's no Compendium (yet?) for CoC, the thing I miss the most when using Cthulhu vs. I'd love to see something similar for running Call of Cthulhu. Hi All, I've been playing a lot of D&D and Roll20's OGL sheet is pretty sweet.
