Reception

Richard Lee reviewed several adventures including Curse of the Chthonians and The Fungi from Yuggoth for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Curse and Fungi are worthy supplements indeed: well-detailed and original. With Call of Cthulhu so capably documented and now so reasonably priced, the world of Twenties style and pulp-fiction atmosphere must loom as a considerable threat to the more conventional RPGs."[1]
