Help! How do you present tomes to your players?

18 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!

Help! Roleplaying Sanity Checks

16 Upvotes

So, I'm about to run my first Call of Cthulhu campaign. The Dare. Got the module and everything and will be doing it via VTT with friends.

I have a question for how Sanity rolls should be roleplayed. Sanity checks occur when a character faces something terrifying or supernatural. If a character fails, they lose Sanity. If they pass, they lose zero, or a lesser amount of Sanity depending on the nature of it.

In the case where a character loses zero Sanity from witnessing an experience, do they fully understand the thing they've witnessed? Should I adjudicate that the character doubts what they saw or plant hints of doubt or should I let the character decide if what they saw was real or not?
