Investigator Sheets, subtitled "Diabolical Dossiers of Doom", is a supplemental product published by Chaosium in 1993 for the horror role-playing game Call of Cthulhu.[1]

Contents

[edit]

Chaosium first published the Lovecraftian horror role-playing game Call of Cthulhu in 1981, and subsequently produced a number of editions, including the 5th edition in 1992. The following year, Chaosium produced two supplemental products for use with the 5th edition under the subtitle "Diabolical Dossiers of Doom": a package of various blank certificates called Dire Documents; and Investigator Sheets, a set of character sheets for the three standard eras used in the game: the 1890s, 1920s, and 1990s.[2]

Reception

[edit]

In the October 1993 edition of Dragon (#198), Rick Swan questioned why any player with access to a photocopier would need these.[3]

Other recognition

[edit]

A copy of Investigator Sheets is held in the "Edwin and Terry Murray Collection of Role-Playing Games, 1972-2017" at Duke University.[4]
