Keeper's Screen features art by Tom Sullivan, and was published by Chaosium, Inc., in 1985 as a cardstock screen. A second edition was published in 1988 and says "New Edition" on the cover.
Reception
Guy Hail reviewed Call of Cthulhu Keeper's Screen in 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."
