"Glozel est Authentique!" features two scenarios: the investigators in the title adventure must determine whether an archeological dig site in France is authentic, and the characters in "Secrets of the Kremlin" go to learn the secrets held by Moscow in the era of Stalin. [2]

Reception

Stephen Kyle reviewed Glozel est Authentique! for White Dwarf #59, giving it an overall rating of 5 out of 10, and stated that "some of TOME's previous CoC adventure packs have been notable for their poor layout, terrible artwork and hordes of stereotypical Germans. Well, just for a change, this one has terrible layout, quite good artwork and hordes of stereotypical French and Russians." [3]

William A. Barton reviewed "Glozel est Authentique!" in Space Gamer No. 71. [2] Barton commented that "Overall, "Glozel est Authentique!" is probably TOME's best CoC adventure pack to date. If you've liked TOME's past releases, you'll love this one; even if you haven't cared for past adventures, this is one you should take a look at - as a French/Russian sourcebook for CoC play, if nothing else."
