Lovecraft Country series (published by Chaosium for Call of Cthulhu Fourth Edition)
2325 Arkham Unveiled (1990) 2330 Return to Dunwich (1991) 2333 Kingsport: The City in the Mists (1991) 2334 Tales of the Miskatonic Valley (1991) 2338 Escape from Innsmouth (1992) 2342 Adventures in Arkham Country (1993) 2352 Miskatonic University (1994)
This is a series that interests me, not because I necessarily dislike the “Indiana Jones” globe-trotting feel of the more famous modules (like Masks of Nyarlathotep), nor because I necessarily think the Lovecraft genre ought to propagate a strict “canon” of locales that Lovecraft wrote about. Nevertheless, the idea of developing a town in detail (gradually expanding to include multiple towns) suits my style of refereeing better than the “uncover a massive worldwide plot” model that Shadows of Yog-Sothoth made standard. So I think I would like to get a hold of these, as well as ideally some of the TOME modules.

The TOME modules are fun, Philip, but if you're getting into CoC in earnest, I can't recommend highly enough Pagan Publishing's books: excellent, excellent stuff. If you want more details, let me know!

Those are all quite good supplements in my opinion and, like you, I prefer my CoC adventures to be strongly "localized," as these better reflect Lovecraft's own keen sense of the importance of place. Of the bunch, I like Return to Dunwich the best, but they're all very useful and evocative.

I like both the huge globe-spanning campaigns, and the local New England towns. I've been playing CoC since 1st edition, and really enjoyed running or playing in a lot of these.

I really like the idea of developing Lovecraft Country in the New England area of the USA, and so this list of sourcebooks was particularly interesting to me. I know that some of these were updated to dual stat with CoC and d20CoC but I'm not sure which ones. Anyone know the answer?
