Call of Cthulhu and RuneQuest use BRP as their basis of their rules. Once you've learned to play one of our games, you've learned to play them all. We keep our games entertaining above all things. After all, we are in the business of entertaining and uplifting you. We also see it is our duty to help rewrite Lovecraft's legacy. Our Call of Cthulhu Fiction line seeks to reprint classic tales, often long out of print and nigh-impossible to find otherwise, as well as bring you the best of today's diverse and inclusive Cthulhu Mythos fiction.
