Call of Cthulhu: Starter Box Set (40th Anniversary Edition)

Welcome to a world of mystery, madness, and monster-hunting - packed neatly in a box.

The Call of Cthulhu Starter Set is your gateway to one of the most legendary horror RPGs of all time. Whether you're a curious newcomer or just want everything in one easy bundle, this box has you covered with all the essentials to start playing straight away.

Take on the role of investigators uncovering ancient secrets, battling cults, and facing cosmic terrors. No experience required — just grab some friends, open the box, and get ready to scream (with delight and/or fear).

• Book 3: Three group adventures to kick off your campaign

Why We Love It at Dicey Business:

The Starter Box isn’t just a taster - it’s a full cinematic experience. The solo intro is perfect for easing new players in, and the included adventures are among the best Call of Cthulhu has to offer. Great for gifting, teaching, or just diving headfirst into madness.
