The Call of Cthulhu: For the 1920's Investigator's Companion 1: Equipment & Resources (Call of Cthulhu MPRG 2343)

TOO OFTEN 1920s investigators find themselves not only baffled by the mysteries of the Cthulhu Mythos, but baffled as well by day-to-day life in America in the Roaring Twenties. Although only seventy years ago, the differences in lifestyle, technology, and human perception are all markedly different. Investigator's Companions are intended to fill this void, providing intrepid investigators with information and facts about the everyday world they live in. Rather than being forced to ask your keeper for information about your world, you may now turn to the Investigator's Companion.
Filled with facts about the world, you can learn what research facilities are available, what sorts of equipment
is on the market, and who might one talk with to learn more about some particular mystery. Use this book to
challenge your keeper. Write a letter to explorer Roy Chapman Andrews asking about a strange artifact you' ve found, or contact Kentucky mystic Edgar Cayce and ask for a reading. See what sort of reply your keeper provides Aside from a few new skills, this book also provides an extensive treatment of firearms common to the
era. In an effort to expand the range of available weaponry some adjustments to the original CoC rules were
necessary. This includes alterations to rates of fire, base ranges, and other factors. Although these, and other variants, are recommended for adoption, it is up to the keeper whether or not to accept these changes.
His is the final word. Future books planned for this series include a volume of 1920s Investigator Occupations, and a handbook for Gaslight investigators. Keeper's Compendiums will deal strictly with the Mythos and related topics.
