Foundry Enhancements
Call of Cthulhu has been specially enhanced for Foundry Virtual Tabletop.
Investigation Scenes
Take full advantage of the intuitive Chaosium Canvas Interface , designed from the ground up for Foundry VTT! The intuitive point-and-click interface enables players to investigate clues and share tasks in real time—eliminating the need for micromanagement by the Keeper. Your players are empowered to focus on clues they need whenever they wish, allowing you to focus on running the game.
Character Sheet
Choose from pre-generated, fully implemented characters or use the Investigator Creation Wizard to craft your own. The powerful and user-friendly wizard makes character creation simple and engaging. The fully automated character sheet streamlines combat, test resolution, and result interpretation, so players can remain immersed in the story.
Virtual Dice
Stay immersed in the scenario journal and scenes for as long as possible—leaving it only when absolutely necessary. Rolls, test calls, scene activations, revealing new clues or persons of interest, and even recommended music (yes, we've composed a complete original score for this module!) are all conveniently integrated as clickable buttons in the journal. Your players will receive test prompts as simple, one-click cards in the chat window, giving them more time to convince you to grant bonus dice for their rolls.
Dynamic Maps
All maps are fully prepared with the latest Foundry VTT features, including dynamic lighting, light animations, walls, windows, and regions. Everything is set up and ready for you to dive in and take full advantage of these cutting-edge tools!
