Call of Cthulhu Investigator Weapons Vol. 3 - Gaslight

The last decades of the nineteenth century see the transition from black powder to cordite, and the birth of modern firepower.

Investigator Weapons Volume 3 for Gaslight & Wild West presents a carefully chosen selection of fin de siècle weapons for use by late 19th century Call of Cthulhu investigators and Keepers.

Investigator Weapons 3 covers handguns, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, mêlée 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.

Each weapon is illustrated and described in detail, as are variant models. Significantly, each weapon’s operation is described, as are its typical malfunctions. Finishing each weapon description is the movie use of the weapon—so you can see it in action—and a comprehensive statistics bar.

Keepers are not forgotten either. Typical weapons for non-player characters are suggested, as are 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.
