WELCOME

Thank you for using Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu template for Microsoft Word. In it you will find a series of styles to provide your
documents with our standard formatting for your Community Content. Even though these styles should cover most of what you need for
your documents, you are not limited to only these styles, and may create additional ones along this theme as your content requires.

COVER/TITLE PAGE
The title page must include the following elements:

The Title of the work

The Miskatonic Repository logo in any one corner with a width of 2 inches

You may also choose to include the authors’ names, a tag-line, or other details.

Note: products in the Miskatonic Repository cannot use the Call of Cthulhu logo, except as part of the Miskatonic Repository logo.

CREDITS PAGE
The first page after the title page of your book is usually the credits page. It can be one or two columns, usually depending on the
amount of credits needed. If only a few credits are needed only one column often visually works better.

Please be sure to include the following information, usually centered at the bottom of the page:

Call of Cthulhu is a Trademark of Chaosium Inc. and is used with their permission via the OBS Community Content program.
For more information please visit Chaosium’s website: www.chaosium.com
The Miskatonic Repository Logo is used under license.

You should also include a copyright notice of your own – [title of work] [©date] [name of authors]
If you use any art from one of our Art Packs, simply follow the crediting guidelines from that pack.
If you intend to use art from elsewhere, ensure that you have clear permission to do so and credit the artist or source.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The next page of the book is usually the Table of Contents,
unless your product is very simple, and only a few pages. The
style below is set up in case you need two columns of entries,
but the tab for the page number can be shifted to the right if
only a single column of entries is needed.
