What is Pen&Paper? Our expert explains the basics
Offer 1: Call of Cthulu
Horrible monsters await you in Call of Cthulu.
What is that? Inexplicable horror, fear of the unknown and dangerous monsters make Call of Cthulu one of the most popular pen & paper role-playing games ever. The setting is based on the works of HP Lovecraft. As a player, you take on the role of investigators who are trying to shed light on the ancient darkness – and perhaps lose their minds in the process.
What’s in the bundle?
A total of 26 digital books for 22.55 dollars, including:
- Starter set for beginners
- Investigator creation rules
- Handbook for game management
- Handbook of Monsters and Old Gods
- Setting books, including one about Berlin after the First World War
- Several pre-built scenarios and adventures
- A coloring book with chic Lovecraft-inspired images

Offer 2: World of Darkness
Vampires in the World of Darkness can look completely different and have different abilities.
What is that? Vampire: The Masquerade is based on this role-playing game. The World of Darkness is a parallel world that mostly goes unnoticed by people. Powerful vampire families fight for dominance, werewolves roam the nights – and of course intrepid fighters hunt the bloodthirsty creatures. You can choose whether you prefer to play vampires, werewolves or hunters; the bundle contains rules for all of them.
What’s in the bundle?
In the largest bundle for 36 dollars, in addition to the digital books, there is also a physical card game with expansions. However, you have to pay the shipping yourself; it costs 17 dollars to a Europe address. This means it is still significantly cheaper than the normal price, but keep in mind that you will have to pay additional costs in addition to the Humble price.
Instead, we recommend the bundle with 29 items for 16 dollars, which contains all the digital content you need for many, many rounds of pen & paper:
- Regulations Vampire: The Masquerade
- Rules Werewolf: The Apocalypse
- Regulations Hunter: The Reckoning
- Lore books for the World of Darkness setting, such as Vampires in Chicago
- Multiple scenarios and adventures
- Character sheets and other handouts to print

Do you want to find out more about pen & paper and tabletop? Then you’ve come to the right place. Take a look here, for example:
Call of Cthulu was originally released in 1981, World of Darkness is more recent and came out in 1991. Both systems have been revised several times, continually expanded and also served as the basis for video game spinoffs such as Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines or the survival horror Call of Cthulu.
