Index needs updating. Some page numbers don't correspond with the entry (e.g. Feats takes you to the Flora section, Firearms takes you to the Psionics section, etc.) its just a couple of pages off, but since were listing errata...

I must admit that I don't really like what Paizo have done with the Cthulhu Mythos up to date... They use part of the Cthulhu mythos without exploiting them really to it's fullest.. I was really excited when I read that there was a Shoggot in Crucible of Chaos, but the creature is use just like any other standard DnD creature and the Mythos feel is just not there ... Same thing with the Hound of Tindalos or the Denizien of Leng in Rise of the Runelords (they add a nice touch, but just not enough to my taste) .

I see your point. I haven't played through Crucible or ROTL 6 yet, but have you considered house ruling the madness rules from Unearthed Arcana on mythos related creatures? I toyed with the idea but haven't sat down and tooled with t he mechanics of it yet.

Just curious since I just purchases the Call of Cthulhu RPG... Is this Mask of Nyarlathotep campaign available somewhere? I looked around here in Paizo's store, but I couldn't find it. Is it out of print? Also, how good is it? I'm looking for a good, long scenario to run for my players as an interesting intro to the game... would this be a good choice?

I'm pretty sure it's out of print. Occasionally it pops up on ebay for exorbitant sums. I am surprised, because most everyone across the board agrees to this campaign's greatness. I seem to recall it being sort of like a really grim Indiana Jones type adventure, so it might be a little pulpy in feel for Lovecraft purists. But I loved it as a teenager.


I have some pretty fond memories of playing through the Masks of Nyarlathotep many, many moons ago. Since Pathfinder has aspects of Lovecraft (I know, a little goes a long way) would there be any interest in Paizo creating an AP that is inspired by that old COC campaign?
