What The Critics Say

"Call of Cthulhu: Arkham is a triumph, achieving a near-perfect balance between providing fine detail and allowing for Keeper improvisation. It is, all at the same time, a serious game reference, a sandbox, and a source of scenario seeds too numerous to mention."

— Stygian Muse, Call of Cthulhu: Arkham.
"Pretty much every location here has a potential use in a campaign – whether as a target of investigation, a source of employment, a useful resource, or in some other manner... [Call of Cthulhu: Arkham] really takes Keith Herber’s vision forward by making it easier than ever to make use of this material in practice."

— Refereeing and Reflection, Supplement Supplemental! (Arkham’s Almanac).
"Really cool... everything you want from a setting book for Call of Cthulhu"

— Gamer’s Haunt, A Quick Look at Call of Cthulhu: Arkham.
"This is the gold standard for what an RPG supplement should be." “Simply put, a triumph... It perfectly captures that 1920s Americana small-town feel, while also letting all the wonderful Lovecraftian weirdness seep into every fissure and crack. This is a perfectly thought out, well-developed product that has clearly had so much love go into it. A triumph, there's no other way to put it. If you run games of Call of Cthulhu, you need this book."

— TechRaptor, Call of Cthulhu: Arkham Review - Supplemental Strangeness.
"A truly impressive release for Call of Cthulhu."
