Call of Cthulhu, 1st edition [BOX SET]
The CoC 1st edition set was the 2"-deep box typical of Chaosium box sets of the time.

A later (2nd?) printing went to the 1" depth box, and kept the 2009-X product code. Its rulebook has errata on the back cover, dated October 1982.

I have seen a flyer in one of these later print shallow-format 1st edition sets with the Asylum and Other Tales as "Coming Soon" and "Do not order before June 15, 1983". Another, similar set had a Winter 1982 Chaosium games catalog. So, that should give an indication of the changeover.

-Wayne

Contents: 'What's in this box' contents sheet(?), rule book (96 pages), Basic Role-Playing (16 pages), A sourcebook for the 1920's (32 pages), character sheets, world map, character & monster silhouettes.

Call of Cthulhu, 2nd & 3rd editions [BOX SET]

2nd & 3rd editions have the same box cover art as 1st edition, and the box is 1"-deep, common to all but the earliest Chaosium releases. 2nd Edition has the same product code as 3rd, but contents more like the 1st edition, though Basic Role Playing has been incorporated into the main rulebook. It has no ISBN.
3rd edition box still has 1983 copyright dates, but the Chaosium catalog inside has 1985 releases.

Call of Cthulhu (6th edition)
"The Great Old Ones ruled the Earth aeons before the incidental rise of humankind. They came from the gulfs of space, waged war upon one another, and then were cast own by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found in the remote extremes of our planet. Upon uncharted islands, within dark ocean depths, under burning desert sands, locked within polar ice, miles below the Earth’s crust they lay imprisoned. But when the stars are right they will awaken and walk this Earth once more.

A bestseller with over 300,000 copies sold world-wide. Call of Cthulhu has won dozens of game awards. In 1996 Call of Cthulhu was elected to the Academy of Adventure Game Designer's Hall of Fame. Call of Cthulhu is well supported by an ever growing line of high quality game supplements. No Gaming library is complete without a copy of this book!

Fragments of Fear: The Second Cthulhu Companion
Includes a huge fold-out spread (4 connected pages) of Cthulhu monster size comparisons.
-Wayne

[ ] CALL OF CTHULHU QUESTIONS ANSWERED - Why does it take so long to read a Mythos tome? Why can't my investigator get 'used to' seeing common types of monsters? How do I learn a language in Call of Cthulhu? Must my character lose multiple Sanity for seeing multiple monsters?

[ ] THE UBIQUITY OF CTHULHU - Working from the notes of brave Dr. Phileus P. Sadowsky (deceased), William Hamblin assembles ancient linguistic traces of the dread Cthulhu cult.

[ ] A CTHULHU GRIMOIRE - Working summaries of all the spells from supplements Shadows of Yog-Sothoth, The Asylum, Cthulhu Companion, The Fungi from Yuggoth, Curse of the Chthonians, Trail of Tsathogghua, Masks of Nyarlathotep, and Fragments of Fear. Indispensible to keepers; deservedly horrifying to peeping players.

[ ] SCENARIO - THE UNDERGROUND MENACE - Earthquakes hammer a hamlet in northern Michigan, but the townsfolk refuse to talk about the matter.

[ ] 4-PAGE CENTERFOLD - Size-comparison silhouettes of selected Mythos deities, entities, monsters, species. See how big Great Cthulhu really is!

[ ] NEW DEITIES — Several new gods (and their servants) from the Mythos writings of Arkham House author J. Ramsey Campbell.

[ ] SCENARIO - THE HIDDEN VALLEY - a dangerous quest leads the intrepid investigators into the 'heart of darkness' of the Belgian Congo jungles. This adventure may take several sessions to complete.

[ ] MORE — Model Ritual Curses, Innsmouth Street Map, a poem by H.P. Lovecraft, Mundane Animals from several continents, Sandy Petersen's introduction.

Keeper's Compendium: Blasphemous Knowledge & Forbidden Secrets
"Things Players Were Not Meant to Know.
Drawing from the tales of H.P. Lovecraft and many other authors, the information contained in this book supplements and expands upon that given in the CALL OF CTHULHU rulesbook, and is divided into four main sections.
FORBIDDEN BOOKS: expands upon the most famous Mythos tomes listed in CALL OF CTHULHU providing lists of suggested spells, study times, descriptions, and the benefits acquired from studying the books. Some of the two dozen books covered include: The Necronomicon, The Book of Dyzan, Cultes des Goules, Massa di Requiem Per Shuggay, The Revelations of Glaaki, and The R'lyeh Text.
SECRET CULTS: stereotypically, the cultist is a cackling madman dressed in hooded robe and armed with a wickedly curved knife. In fact, cultists are of wide description; cults are essentially religious organizations holding certain beliefs and attempting to induce some sort of change. Described here are differing cults drawn from fiction, game scenarios, and history: The Starry Wisdom Sect, Brotherhood of the Beast, The Nestarian Cult of Cthugha, Brothers of the Yellow Sign, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Witch Cults, Order of the Sword of St. Jerome, and the Cult of Cthulhu.
ALIEN RACES: this section defines the aims, values, and goals for various frequently-encountered races including Deep Ones, Fungi From Yuggoth, Ghouls, Insects From Shagghai, Old Ones, Serpent People, and the Voormis.
MYSTERIOUS PLACES: shrouded in legend and obscured by misinformation and disinformation, the following forgotten and exotic places are all referred to in Mythos tomes: Atlantis, G'harne, Hyperborea, Irem, Kaddath in the Cold Waste, K'n-Yan, Lemuria, Lomar, Mu, The Nameless City, R'lyeh, Valusia, Y'ha-Nthlei, and Yuggoth and beyond."

Cthulhu Dark Ages
"950 A.D.— The Byzantine Theodorus Philetas translates the al-Azif into Greek and renames it the Necronomicon. It will be more than a century before this blasphemous tome is finally condemned, and most copies destroyed.

During these hundred years, when manuscript copies of the Necronomicon covertly pass from hand to hand, mankind almost yields to the uncaring forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. The dark young of Shub-Niggurath infest the boundless forests, mi-go guard mountain passes, ghouls and miri-nigri haunt forgotten burial grounds, and deep ones plague coastal settlements.

In this world the last magi explore powers not meant for humans, and are lured to into the abode of Yog-Sothoth.

CTHULHU DARK AGES is a complete roleplaying game, using the intuitive and flexible Basic Roleplaying System used and developed by Chaosium for many years and is also used in our Call of Cthulhu game. If you know how to play one, you can play the other.

CTHULHU DARK AGES presents the era of the Dark Ages (c. 1000 A.D.) and the continuing threat posed by denizens of the Cthulhu Mythos as described by H. P. Lovecraft, the Lovecraft circle of writers, and the works of Chaosium Inc."

Arkham Horror: The Boardgame for Monster Hunters [BOX SET]

"INCLUDED: 99 multi-color cards, 50 1" square monster counters, 56 H.P. Lovecraft bank notes, 2 Arkham Gazettes, 1 rules folder, 2 About Your Investigator folders, 1 17x22" full-color mapboard showing Arkham and the 8 Other Worlds, 8 investigator cards, 8 investigator pawns, 2 dice, investigator card markers, inserts.

ARKHAM HORROR IS PLAYABLE by up to 8 people. As fearless investigators, the players seek to uncover the strange events and stranger beings behind the placid facade of this New England town. Duty and fortune may separate the investigators. Injury, mental shock, or magic can affect or remove them from the game.
The arcane powers of the Cthulhu Mythos, a sinister amalgam of alien beings and human cultists, have come to Earth by means of magical gates. If the investigators destroy these gates before the space-time continuum is irrevocably strained, then the players win. If too many gates open, the players lose, and Arkham is overrun.
Exploring its streets, buildings, woods, and parks, the investigators meet helpful and hindering people, find magic-laden books, and discover, trade for, or purchase helpful items.
No player loses unless all the players lose, nor is any player eliminated from the game before it ends: losing one investigator, another is chosen, and play renewed."

"Artifacts from the World's Scariest University

In his stories, Lovecraft imagined a handful of scholars and investigators burdened with knowledge of other dimensions and perilous entities, which the rest of the world could not comprehend.

Since Lovecraft wrote, Miskatonic U. has survived, thrived, and grown famous. Tales are still written about it; films are set there. You can enroll today. Enrollment takes only a few seconds, and you can graduate as soon as you put your name on the enclosed diploma. Join the community.

WHAT YOU GET

Fifth edition Keeper's Kit

Rune R. spotted (10/31/2013) an eBay auction of this Fifth edition Keeper's Kit with the addition of some black/white/red character sheets not mentioned in the contents. The CS are copyright 1993 (kit is ©1992) so I'm thinking that a later printing of this Kit had some CS added. To be verified.

-Wayne


"This kit contains the ALL NEW 8.5" x 40" colorful four panel Keeper’s Screen featuring an additional 8.5x11" panel of firearms and explosives — completely redesigned for instant access to important spot-rules, tables, and reminders from the Call of Cthulhu game.
Also included in this packet are these other valuable play-aids of use to players and keepers:
* A new "Lovecraft Country' Adventure, ”The Little People" set in fabled Arkham, Massachusetts, was specially written for this package, and is suitable for both beginning and experienced players.
* A Keeper’s Bookmark with a quick index to most important rules topics. Designed specifically for use with the 5th edition Call of Cthulhu rulesbook.
* A set of useful rules and tables including: Selected Beasts & Monsters, a new condensed listing of several types of creatures commonly encountered in a game. Automobile Chase rules are provided for staging classic car chase scenes with associated combat. Human Hit Locations is a reference which allows more detailed combat and injury results.

incidental or short term investigators.
