If you played Masks years ago and want to play it again, yes. The best commercially available RPG scenario has got better. RPG review. 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. You took the time and made this thing amazing… The 7th edition Masks of Nyarlathotep is an phenomenal product. It's one of the best roleplaying campaigns ever written - and now it's easier than ever to play. It expanded our ideas of what roleplaying game adventures could be and raised the standards for the industry and the RPG art form. It coupled a complex, non-linear plot with such an incredible amount of historical detail and invention that made the experience of playing it an absolute delight and, in many ways, a life-changing experience.
Thousands of game-years ago, or a few decades in the real world, I was first introduced to Call of Cthulhu, and shortly thereafter Masks of Nyarlathotep. That adventure changed my gaming life, and I always considered in among the very best campaigns ever created for any game. That said, this new version is much, much better than the original or any of the revisions that have come along over the years.
It is a guaranteed recipe for days and days and days, and days of fun for any serious-minded CoC group. If your group is less serious-minded then play it using Pulp rules. I would go so far as to say that this is the best accessory to any game I have ever seen, and I have played and ran many, many games and have read many more. To those that are questioning the admittedly high price point — take a deep breath.
This thing is huge. Maybe in the future they could break it down by chapter, but why bother? If you bought one of them, you would have to buy them all for it to make any sense. So if you think the price is high pool resources in your group to get it and play it, or maybe you just have to save your dimes and nickels and buy it when you can. The hard copy will cost, what, about twice as much? But for a huge slip-case set…it is what it is. Check it out if you can afford it. This thing is massive and it's a work of art.
Having played an earlier edition I can say this one is every bit as good and frankly better in some instances. Reviews based on price alone should not be considered in my opinion. Like others I seldom leave reviews but in this instance I feel compelled.
Words cannot describe how excited I was when this was announced, and anxiously awaited the moment I got to read it. I was, simply put, enthralled. Every piece of information, every image, and every single detail of this book is well placed. It's a keepers paradise! I have never had the pleasure of being a player or keeper for the original Masks, and never got around to reading it. I heard many great things, and now I see why. I am very thankful that a version such as this has come into being, and made Masks shine once again.
My play group has begun to get their costumes ready, sheets rolled and minds as much as possible prepared. Thankyou Chaosium! You have brought great joy and madness to a lot of people!
This is by far one of the best, most intricate and well-written stories I have read. The art, the maps, the handouts, the way the information is presented listen up WotC: the book has both PC and Keeper versions of reference maps!!!! Worth every penny.
Cannot wait to own the physical copy. Comparing this edition with the previous - there is no comparison. The artwork and production value are excellent. This is the most iconc coc campaign of all times and the 5th edition is a masterpiece.
I have The complete mask and the french sans detour box, but I will run the 5th edition for my players no doubt. I just hope that you guys from Chaosium one day bring a new edition of Beyond the Mountains of Madness with this quality.
It will be a great addition to the 7th edition material, side by side with the orient express and this masks edition! The artwork, the layout, the adventure itself looks so compelling and utterly mind numbing Maybe not has big as the Great Cthulhu So much supporting material! Speaking of supporting material: Are you a Syrinscape user?
Chaosium has partnered with Syrinscape to provide background atmospheric audio for Masks! The "soundscapes" are made specifically for this version of the adventure.
Want to shock and awe your players? Chaosium has partnered with the H. This prop kit is out of this world sorry. Now they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action. This roleplaying classic is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable campaign.
Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition. The non-linear narrative keeps players baffled and on their toes.
