Items and Inventory - LunarNeil/Call-of-Cthulhu-Campaign GitHub Wiki

Items are pieces of equipment important enough not to be considered trivial like a shoelace or a handkerchief, but not important enough to count as Possessions. When an Investigator gains an Item should described on an index card and kept with the Journal.

This category is most commonly associated with weapons, and valuable personal gear like flashlights or gas-masks or other commonly used equipment with special rules. The card can be taken from the Journal and used for reference during combat or conflict resolution. Players can also share equipment among Investigators simply by handing cards around the table.

Equipment presented in this book includes reference cards that can be printed out and used by the players for just this purpose, and templates exist to allow Moderators to create their own gear.

Items too inconsequential to track, such as small amounts of money, matches or hairpins, can simply be handwaved when they are asked for.
