The Keeper Screen is an essential play aid for those running games of Call of Cthulhu.
This is a 3-panel Keeper Screen mounted on thick hardcover stock, folding out to 34 inches wide. One side, intended to face the players, portrays glorious artwork. The rear of the screen, the Keeper’s side, collects and summarizes important rules, statistics and charts, to assist the Keeper when running games.
Inside are two ready-to-play scenarios set in Lovecraft Country during the 1920s: “Blackwater Creek” and “Missed Dues.” Twelve ready-to-play pregenerated investigators, and color maps of Lovecraft Country, the World of Cthulhu, and Arkham Environs.
For Call of Cthulhu, 7th edition. You must have at least one copy pf the Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook to play Call of Cthulhu..
Not just a (fantastic) GM Screen (controversially with a wealth of useful info on the reverse), but maps, reference materials, and a booklet with two one shot scenarios in it!
A few errors in the scenarios, but nothing major and otherwise well written. I ran Missed Dues for my group and they loved it.
And the artwork on the Screen is perfect for my personal aesthetic. Dark, moody and understated with points of light from vintage vehicle headlights illuminating men in the midst of lovecraftian investigation, all dominated by brooding night sky. There is a man being attacked by some eldritch beast in the shadows of the woods to one side, but this is a small scene and does little to spoil the image as a whole.
Worth it for the adventures alone. But the maps are good as well and so is the screen. If you want to be a keeper for CoC 7ed, this would be my second buy after the Keepers book. Handy in so many ways.
