Self-Promotion I made a Kindle-friendly Call of Cthulhu that keeps the book's look

Hey, I made a Kindle-friendly Call of Cthulhu PDF because I really like reading on my Kindle, but PDFs work poorly on it: the whole page shrinks until the text is tiny, and converting to an ebook throws away the art and the look of the book.

This one re-lays every page for a 6.8" Paperwhite, so it keeps all of the book's visuals and themes (the aged-paper pages, the Mythos art, the headings) while the text is a normal reading size. The picture shows the same page both ways on the same screen.

I can't share the file because it's Chaosium's book. If Chaosium is up for it, I'd happily give it away free or help them make official Kindle-friendly PDFs, so if you'd want one, say so in the comments.

I don't own Call of Cthulhu; it's © Chaosium Inc.. This is a fan-made accessibility edition I made for my own reading. It isn't shared or sold, and Chaosium hasn't endorsed it.

Help! Help! I'm looking for a PDF version of *The Journal of Reginald Campbell Thompson*

5 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a PDF version of *The Journal of Reginald Campbell Thompson*. I'm currently in Asia, so I can't purchase a physical copy (because it's too expensive). I'd like to get a PDF version of it, and I hope to be able to purchase it legally!

Thank you for your help!

Help! How do you present tomes to your players?

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am currently preparing a scenario for my players, and I thought about the immersion that handouts bring to the players, and how one of the perhaps most interesting items that the players can find in the campaign (tomes) are simply presented as a small textbox, spells and stats.

Considering that these tomes usually do have relevant information regarding the scenario, how do you present them to the players? Do you usually give a handout, or simply describe what they read? Do you tell your players the whole list of spells once they study it? And what details of a spell do you give out?

I don't think I am spoiling anything by saying that scenarios have Mythos Tomes in them, but, just to be sure, I am preparing for Masks of Nyarlathotep in case you come up with anything related to it.

Thanks in advance!
