To my knowledge, neither in the original
English edition nor in any German edition were there any illustrations by H.R. Giger. I suppose for the reason that Ben W Bell stated already: much too expensive and not really one of Giger's areas of artistic activity. (Although I have to say that I believe
810:
There have been illustrations by an artist called Geier in many of the later editions of the game (from fifth edition onwards), could it be that you've mistaken his name for Giger? I don't own the really early editions but I've never heard of Giger art having been in it as I'd have thought it would

In the d20 section, there's a statement "Intended to preserve the feeling of the original game, the conversion of the game rules were supposed to make the game easier to play." Easier than what? d20 is rules-heavy, requiring much study and time to master. The d100 Chaosium version is rules-light,

It's a new game using the gumshoe system. I'm not sure what the criteria are for a RPG to be mentionable it's made by Robin D. Laws, a famous RPG author and it's one of the best sellers on Indie Press
Revolution. since the D20 System gets a mention, I figure it might be worth bringing up.

Cthulhu Now is a set of sourcebooks put out by
Chaosium for Cthulhu set in the modern day (or at least 90s when it was released). Pegasus Press are the official German translators and publishers for Call of Cthulhu. It's not another Cthulhu game, it's still Call of Cthulhu.

I've just unlinked it. Not sure Paul
Fricker will ever meet the notability requirements to get an article that would stay in honesty, though could be wrong. So delinking seemed the right thing to do for now. No prejudice to someone taking an alternative solution.
558:
Intending to make an already-easy-to-play game "easier to play" by converting to d20 just doesn't make sense. I suspect the real intent behind WoTC's conversion to d20 was to enhance revenue by offering a popular non-d20 RPG title to an already-large d20 market.
509:
The primary author of the Call of
Cthulhu RPG is Sandy Peterson, the same person who worked on saveral levels for the video game "Doom" and "Quake" from iD Software. (And although you might not care, Sandy is a Mormon and quite devout it is said.)

OK, I see what you did, the book is under The CoC. I found that really confusing, and changed it round a little so that people entering CoC, at least can see that there is another article right away. Hope you don't
569:
I clarified the probable intent behind the wording - it does make the game easier for those that already know the D&D rules (hard to argue with this). I agree D&D isn't generally easier than CoC.

this article was linking to noted as much. But that interview was four years before the game was released, and it changed significantly and lost its connection to the RPG along the way.

Please note that a starter set is not an edition of a game and shouldn't be listed under the editions section, it's just a cut down version of the same rules, not a different ruleset.

To my knowledge there has never been illustrations by Geiger in any edition of Call of

Shadows of
Cthulhu is a True20 adaptation by Reality Deviant Publications. While we await that somebody creates pages for these games, yes, they should get a mention.

Since the title of the page is CoC, and not CoC (RPG), wouldn't it be more appropriate to say something about the book first, since the game is a derivative work?

Agreed. Whether CoC or D&D, starter sets are a subset sample to get people familiar with the general principles of the game, not a separate edition.
