Investigator Weapons Volume 1 for 1920’s & 1930’s
Presenting investigator weapons volume 1 for Call of Cthulhu in the Classic era. This volume is a comprehensive collection of weapons available to stalwart investigators of the Cthulhu Mythos and their crazed cultist opponents.
Investigator Weapons volume 1 covers handguns, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, machine guns, flamethrowers, melee weapons, explosives, and special ammunition; and gathers together all the spot rules for injury, environmental conditions, and firearms combat in one place, as well as introducing many optional rules for enhanced play.
Hans-Christian Vortisch (author of Cthulhu – Waffen-Handbuch, GURPS High-Tech, GURPS Martial Arts: Fairbairn Close Combat Systems, and GURPS Tactical Shooting) has selected several dozens of the most typical or iconic weapons available to the discerning shooter in the 1920s and 1930s. These range from the famous Colt M1911 and Thompson submachine gun to lesser known but more widespread firearms.
Each weapon entry includes:
- An illustration
- Detailed description including variant models
- Description of the weapon’s operation
- typical malfunctions
- See each weapon in action with a movie or media example
- A comprehensive statistics bar.
Keepers are not forgotten either. The guidelines suggest typical weapons for non-player characters and likely weapons for cultists from around the world. A Keeper’s chapter examines the consequences of magic on firearms and ammunition, and the effect of firearms on Mythos creatures.
Investigator Weapons Volume 1– the essential weapons book for Keepers and players of all editions of Call of Cthulhu.
What is Call of Cthulhu?
Call of Cthulhu is the world’s best roleplaying game of mystery and horror.
In Call of Cthulhu, you take on the role of everyday people who become investigators of the unknown—whether they are prepared or not. The mysterious places, people, and situations you encounter are often not what they seem—you and your friends are the only thing standing in the way of diabolical cults and cosmic monsters from beyond space!
INVESTIGATORS OF THE UNKNOWN
Call of Cthulhu investigators come from all walks of life, be they journalists, librarians, or school teachers, or even private eyes, taxi drivers, or a hobo. They face mysteries which rational means cannot explain. Mysteries riddled with ancient and forgotten lore that humanity was not meant to know.
Every investigator is unique. In Call of Cthulhu, you’ll make a number of choices to create your very own investigator, including:
- Your occupation.
- Your skills.
- The people in your life who are important to you.
- Locations that are meaningful to you.
- Items you carry of personal significance.
- Your ideology and beliefs.
