Secrets Of New York: A Mythos Guide to the City That Never Sleeps (Call of Cthulhu Horror Roleplaying)

This is a good solid sourcebook for the 1920s Call of Cthulhu game- or any game set in New York City around that time. It has a number of maps and guides to boroughs and neighborhoods, political and historical data, and a large number of non-player characters, shops, museums, and other fun stuff to visit.Secrets of New York also includes two mini-scenarios, historical documents and photographs .I do wish they had included a page reference to some of the characters & places used in the scenarios.

Cooool

If you need a setting in NY for ANY game system this is the book for you. CofC is the best for local "flavor" and locations.

As a new Yorker I bought this book as a reference for a COC campaign. Unfortunately its not. The artwork is poor handouts are fair not great and to cut them out destroys the book. If you wish a COC games in NYC just buy a good map and go from there.

First off, I enjoyed reading this book. The history of the city tinged with Mythos lore made for a fun evening diversion. My practical use for the book in the game was more indirect, however.I was running the players through "Look to the Future" in Shadows of Yog-Sothoth (which takes place in New York). I found this book to be extremely helpful in setting the mood for that chapter of the campaign. The characters wanted to know where hotels, restaurants, etc. were, and Secrets of New York delivered.I haven't had the chance to run either scenario, but they both look promising.I would certainly recommend this book to any Keeper.

Got this for research on a book I'm writing based in the 1930's NYC. Fun "city within the city" ideas for the city that never sleeps. I am finding it very helpful and enjoyable.

Qui si racconta quello che accadeva sopra e "sotto" la città "che non dorme mai" negli anni venti: offre una quantità di informazioni circostanziate e personaggi per animare e dare concretezza alle sedute di gioco ambientate nella Grande Mela o che almeno la sfiorano. Ricco il corredo di mappe, documenti storici e fotografie del 1920. Interessanti gli scenari che ci fanno conoscere le zone più popolari e solitamente ignorate di NY. Questo accessorio è in lingua inglese.

Utile strumento per l'ambientazione di storie nella N.Y. anni '20. Volume gradevole, collezionabile. In inglese.
