The Book of Dark Wisdom is a new magazine devoted to Chaosium's much loved and venerable RPG of Lovecraftian horror, Call of Cthulhu. The slim booklet comes contained within a swirling cover by John Coulthart. Further it provides its statistics and write-ups not just for the expected Basic Roleplay mechanics, but also for Call of Cthulhu d20 published by Wizards of the Coast, and supported by Chaosium through their reprints of the Lovecraft Country campaign series, H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham, H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich and H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport.
