4.5

Excellent, sensitive treatment of the Old West which doesn't turn a blind eye to some of the more awkward historical aspects, or to the diversity often overlooked by subsequent depictions. Not just good for Call of Cthulhu, if you set aside the supernatural stuff this would provide the excellent basis for a BRP-powered Western game.

A great expansion of the Call of Cthulu gaming system from Chaosium. It's very comprehensive in its descriptions of setting specific rules, equipment, etc. It even gives a few sample locations, NPCs, etc. to get a keeper started.

The only thing that would have pushed this up to a 5 star review would be if there were one or two more scenarios in it to really showcase the variety of the setting.

All in all, a great book.
