Blood Brothers (Call Of Cthulhu)
''Blood Brothers'' is a light-hearted anthology of short adventures published by Chaosium in 1990 for the Lovecraftian horror role-playing game '' Call of Cthulhu''. Contents The book is an anthology of thirteen short adventures that use themes, characters or monsters from classic B movie horror films: vampires based on Bela Lugosi's 1931 portrayal of Dracula; werewolves similar to Lon Chaney Jr.'s 1941 Wolf Man; zombies similar to those in George Romero's '' Dawn of the Dead''; cavemen and dinosaurs from 1975's '' The Land That Time Forgot''; gremlins akin to those in 1984's '' Gremlins''; and a killer alien from 1979's '' Alien''. Players are offered a variety of one-shot characters. In keeping with the light-hearted B-movie theme, the usual Sanity check in the ''Call of Cthulhu'' rules has been tweaked so that a character who fails a Sanity check, rather than developing psychoses or phobias, instead screams, or falls down in the path of an approaching monster, or faints. ...

TSR (company)
TSR, Inc. was an American game publishing company, best known as the original publisher of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D''). Its earliest incarnation, Tactical Studies Rules, was founded in October 1973 by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye. Gygax had been unable to find a publisher for ''D&D'', a new type of game he and Dave Arneson were co-developing, so founded the new company with Kaye to self-publish their products. Needing financing to bring their new game to market, Gygax and Kaye brought in Brian Blume in December as an equal partner. ''Dungeons & Dragons'' is generally considered the first tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG), and established the genre. When Kaye died suddenly in 1975, the Tactical Studies Rules partnership restructured into TSR Hobbies, Inc. and accepted investment from Blume's father Melvin. With the popular ''D&D'' as its main product, TSR Hobbies became a major force in the games industry by the late 1970s. Melvin Blume eventually transferred his shares to his ...
