Reception
Rick Swan reviewed Trail of Tsathogghua in The Space Gamer No. 75.[3] Swan commented that "If you've been happily devouring Chaosium's Cthulhu releases, rest assured that Trail of Tsathogghua is another top-notch effort. This is roleplaying at its finest, and I'm ready for the next one. And who knows . . . maybe it'll even have a title I can pronounce."[3]
