Silly question, but has anyone seen stats for Cthulhu?


3.5/d20/OGL

Liberty's Edge

Just asking because I'd like to see them.

Liberty's Edge

Yes... but they drove me mad.


Call of Cthulhu d20. Also, Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu. Both have stats for the Elder God. So it depends on which system you want.


All the way back in 1st edition, the very rare 1st printing of Deities and Demigods (or was that 1st printing Legends & Lore) has Cthulhu's stats IIRC. Good luck finding that one, but for AD&D that's the only source I know of.


I kept dreaming of an impossible stat sheet last night, troubling my sleep. And then tonight I see this post...mind curdling scream

It pops up on Ebay pretty regularly, you just have to be careful which printing you buy (there are online guides that'll help you there.)

Deities and Demigods. I have a good few copies of that rare one.

It has Cthulhian, Newhonian and Melnibonean mythos. My favorite Erol Otus artwork was in there.

I seldom see those offered and often have seen them offered but not the right ones, so to me they're rare. I've known 1 person with a copy in my life, and I've been gaming 21 years or so now.

Mine has stats for Fred Sanford, Lamont, and Aunt Esther.

And sleestacks.

I hate to bring this up again, but back in '96 I repped D&D at the Dreamation Convention in NJ for a guy who had about ten copies of that purple covered wonder for $5 a piece. The days of it selling at $40 were a thing of the past and he was letting them go for nothing. If I'd known people would one day want them, and asked for them, he probably would have just given them up for free. :\

I can get my hands on Cthulhu d20. Haven't seen Chaosium. What's the publication date on that? (Pre- or Post-d20?)

Chaosium is the publisher of Call of Cthulhu - a delightful very-pre-d20 game. The guys at Chaosium have always been top-notch with me and I've enjoyed demoing for them. Publication history in the link.

Sixth Edition here.


Anybody ever use the adventure 'Jenkin Lives!'?

Liberty's Edge

Yeah....when G Gordon Liddy sat in on my game; we never finished cos he came at me with a k-bar knife.


Oh good...next time I see him, I'll ask him if I can borrow his copy of it....
:S

Liberty's Edge

He's standing outside on your porch right now.


Nope. A helicopter just flew over and he bolted. What a jumpy freak.

You don't want to see that, you'd go nuts.

Liberty's Edge

So Noted.

Cthulu d20 has a great Wayne Reynolds illo of him (Cthulu that is, not WaR) beating on Wizards' 3E Iconics.

If anyone is looking for this, the used bookstore where I work has a copy of the Deities and Demigods book with Cthulhu in it available for $38 + shipping. Here's the entry: Deities & Demigods. I'll just point out the note about how "some of the illustrations have been colored in." I've seen this book myself and it's in good condition; I don't remember seeing the colored-in illustrations, but if someone is interested, I'll have a look next time I work and let you know.

The sad thing is that when I moved to Washington, I sold all my AD&D books, including a copy of the Cthulhu Deities & Demigods that had been given to me. I had no idea that it was a rare book. I guess that greedy look in the eyes of the store owner who I sold it to should have tipped me off. Oh well.
