	Description Edit \| History

From Chaosium's website:

Call of Cthulhu is a horror roleplaying game using the Basic Roleplaying system and based upon the writings of Howard Phillips Lovecraft and a few others. Lovecraft wrote during the 1920s and 1930s, and he became a cult figure before dying in 1937. Since then his stature as an author has grown, and now he is generally recognized as the major American horror-story writer of the twentieth century.

User Commentary:

For the purposes of RPGG, we are considering Call of Cthulhu 2nd through 6th editions to be so overlapping with regards to core rules that they are placed in the same [rpg] box.
