Originally they came from the gulfs of space and were cast down by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found on remote islands in the Pacific, buried amid the shifting sands of vast deserts, and in the frigid recesses of the polar extremes. Now they sleep — some deep within the enveloping earth and others beneath the eternal sea, in the drowned city of R'lyeh, preserved in the waters by the spells of mighty Cthulhu. When the stars are right they will rise, and once again walk this Earth.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 21px; font-size: 15px; color: #202020; font-family: 'PT Sans', Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eWelcome to Chaosium’s \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eCall of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start\u003c\/em\u003e Rules, a booklet that collects the essential rules for \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eCall of Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e 7th Edition and presents them in abbreviated form.

In roleplaying games, one player takes on the role of the gamemaster (or Keeper, in \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eCall of Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e), while the other player(s) assume the roles of player characters (investigators, in \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eCall of Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e) in the game. The gamemaster also acts out the roles of characters who aren’t being guided by players: these are called non-player characters (NPCs).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 21px; font-size: 15px; color: #202020; font-family: 'PT Sans', Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eFrom its origin, \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eCall of Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e was designed to be intuitive and easy to play.

Virtually all rolls determining success or failure of a task are determined via the roll of percentile dice.
