Reception

Guy Hail reviewed Call of Cthulhu Keeper's Screen in The [Space Gamer|Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer] No. 80. Hail commented that "The new tables will settle some disputes about thrown weapons, and a Keeper should have a cthuloid screen to hide his secrets from nosy investigators, but Chaosium should have used this opportunity to cumulate Call of Cthulhu's monsters and spells in a single supplement."
