Call of Cthulhu Keeper Screen (Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying) Paperback – May 5, 2016

Since 5th ed of this game, I've been chomping at the bit for a screen, and 7th edition's screen for GMs is amazing. Firstly, its not just a screen. This comes with 2 scenarios, maps of Arkham, Lovecraft County and of the areas the aforementioned scenarios take place, pregenerated characters appropriate for the 2 scenarios, a blank character sheet to photocopy (do this, you will always need more blank sheets). Add to this you have a beautiful keeper's screen which has all the things you want for quick reference: charts, sanity effects, chases, costs of common goods, combat rules, everything to run the game smoothly.Get this! Now!

I just ran my first game of The Call of Cthulhu and this screen was a life saver. The extra content is excellent, and now I'm planning on running one of the extra adventures that was provided with it. Very recommended.

I’ve been rather critical lately at the direction that some tabletop RPGs have been going, but honestly, Chaosium just keeps making Call of Cthulhu better, and their products reflect it.Buying a screen for the Keeper (DM or GM) is usually straightforward, but Chaosium wouldn’t be satisfied with just throwing a screen onto store shelves. The included materials would be the equivalent of the excellent boxed sets (or at least, a miniature version of them) that TSR used to release for their D&D campaign settings back before Wizards of the Coast took it over. Chaosium is returning value to the player in the form of materials that are actually useable. Nothing that is included are useless props or throwaway extras. You’ll get plenty of use out of everything included.The screen itself — which is probably your primary reason for buying — is beautiful, with gorgeous artwork facing out, and all necessary vitals for the Keeper ergonomically laid out on the inside. The screen is made of quality thick card stock, so there’s no need to worry about strength, and everything is easy for the Keeper to both find and read.It’s the extra materials packed with the screen that impress me so much. Aside from the screen, this pack includes two ready-to-play adventures (scenarios), 12 pre-generated player characters (investigators) and 3 full color maps of the areas pertaining to the adventures. All are well-designed with stylish layouts, and are written to accommodate both new and veteran Keepers.If I’ve got any complaints, I wish it were packed a bit better. It’s fine when you first get it, as it comes shrink wrapped, but it’s only held together by a thin bottom-half layer of card and a glossy paper cover. The outer protection isn’t designed to use over and over, so you’ll definitely want to find a sturdier place to store the contents once it’s been opened. But aside from that nitpick, this product is a must for both new and veteran Keepers.

It's honestly the best value for a DM screen I've seen. It comes with 2 full scenarios, a bunch of glossy character sheets to use a dry erase pen on, a bunch of maps, and a huge random table index for phobias and other encounters

This is a good screen, has lots of handy information on the back, even has a handy number-conversion chart across the top to quickly look up your fifths if you need to. The artwork on the front was a little dark for my tastes, I prefer to see more of the monsters and action, but it was still spooky-ish.I really enjoyed how much extra came with this: scenarios, maps, blank character sheets, handouts.Highly suggest for any Keeper.

My son was so excited to receive this and loved the artwork.

I loved the screen, and the scenarios are great. However I seem to be missing my handouts.

Love this screen! Great tables for quick reference
