This enormous Call of Cthulhu RPG discount is as mind-warping as the eldritch horrors themselves

Look out, because you can currently pick up well over a dozen Call of Cthulhu RPG books without it being a cosmic horror for your bank balance.

Humble is currently offering a "So You Want to Play Call of Cthulhu" PDF bundle which includes the core rulebooks, numerous adventures, and sourcebooks for a fraction of the usual cost. More specifically, you're paying $25 at Humble (or £18.60 for UK gamers) and receiving $426/£316.93's worth of RPG books. If you want some quick math, that's a saving of £401 or £298.33 all in. Considering how Call of Cthulhu is widely considered to be one of the best tabletop RPGs out there, that's an absolute steal. As someone who's yet to dive into the cosmic horror game, I'm certainly tempted.

For context, the PDFs for the core rules - the Keeper's Rulebook and Investigator's Handbook - usually cost $27.95 and $22.95 respectively, so you're getting pretty absurd bang for buck here.

As with all Humble bundles, a significant portion of the proceeds will go to a good cause. In this case, you'll be supporting the World Wildlife Fund.

Call of Cthulhu is one of the big tabletop RPGs outside of D&D, goes back a long way, and is hugely respected within the wider community. There are plenty of other Lovecraftian projects out there, but it's held on the longest and has yet to budge from the throne. Because of that, I'd say this is definitely an offer to consider; I've been tracking price cuts on TTRPGs for a while now, and you literally can't get a better offer than this.

Just bear in mind that the discount won't last forever; it only runs until early February.
