2.0 out of 5 stars The "lightning" books are really poor, December 4, 2001

This review is from: Cthulhu by Gaslight: Horror Roleplaying in 1890s England (Call of Cthulhu Horror Roleplaying, 1890s Era, #3303) (Paperback)

The new series of reprints of Chaosium's works really are poor! The are effectively photocopies of the original, and fail to reproduce both color as well as the solidity of the originals. Comparing the new to the old, you immediately realize that this is an inferior product. These can be spotted immediately by examining the back of the book for a black logo of an open book with a lightning bolt hitting it in the spine.

Stay away!

All of the reprints of Chaosium's works are like this, including the Stars are Right!, Blood Brothers, and others.... *sigh* I am obviously a disappointed customer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not original edition but a copy, July 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cthulhu by Gaslight: Horror Roleplaying in 1890s England (Call of Cthulhu Horror Roleplaying, 1890s Era, #3303) (Paperback)

This version appears to be a copy of the original second edition. The large map is missing and there are no colored plates.

If you just want the information this is okay, but if you wanted the artwork, you'll have to look elsewhere.

This review is from: Cthulhu by Gaslight: Horror Roleplaying in 1890s England (Call of Cthulhu Horror Roleplaying, 1890s Era, #3303) (Paperback)

I read this many years a go and can heartily recommend it as a valuable source book.Victorian Britain with it's occult revival and Ripper murders makes a convincing back drop for the cthulhu mythos. Please note that the title should read 1880's not 1980's.If one wishes a cthulhu product concerning modern Britain pagan's Delta Green Countdown is very good.
