Contents[]
Call of Cthulhu Keeper's Screen is a three-panel cardstock gamemaster's screen with tables for ranged and melee weapons, monsters, spells, rules for sanity loss and fictional books of the Mythos.[1] The Keeper's Screen features tables for combat, magic, and skills, with third edition Call of Cthulhu rules data; the second version of the screen also includes the "knock-out" rule, and weapons data from the supplements Cthulhu Now and Cthulhu by Gaslight.[2]
Publication history[]
Keeper's Screen features art by Tom Sullivan, and was published by Chaosium, Inc., in 1985 as a cardstock screen.[2] A second edition was published in 1988 and says "New Edition" on the cover.[2]
Reception[]
Guy Hail reviewed Call of Cthulhu Keeper's Screen in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 80.[1] Hail commented that "The new tables will settle some disputes about thrown weapons, and a Keeper should have a cthuloid screen to hide his secrets from nosy investigators, but Chaosium should have used this opportunity to cumulate Call of Cthulhu's monsters and spells in a single supplement."[1]
