  1. I haven't actually read their material (I do speak Spanish), but they do seem to be an important player in the Spanish-speaking Lovecraftian gaming scene. They recently acquired the rights to do the localization for Trail of Cthulhu and Yellow King, as well, and reissued the iconic Spanish supplement La Piel del Toro, which is like the equivalent of Terror Australis but for 1920s Spain.
  2. Forgot to share that Hometown Horros, Vol. 1 is well beyond a Best Copper Seller, and on its way to Silver! Thanks to everyone who bought it, and be sure to check out the second volume when it comes out!
  3. As one of its co-authors, I'm proud to announce the release of Hometown Horros, Vol. 1, a beautiful collaborative effort that makes its way to the Miskatonic Repository: Hometown Horrors, Vol. 1 contains 15 guided tours of the creepy, the spectacular, the terrifying, and the downright odd, all from places that our contributors call home. From the vacation homes of Martha’s Vineyard to the rural Appalachians, from Montreal to Havana, let our tour guides show you the best their hometowns have to offer for your Call of Cthulhu games. Each entry contains: a short history of the town, highlighting local landmarks and lore hooks to draw your investigators in and get them into harm’s way, and colorful NPCs to make a lasting impression. I authored the La Havana, Cuba chapter, and can attest the great care and hard work that was put into the project! You might even recognize some names from the growing Miskatonic Creators Circle. If you check it out, please let me or any of the authors know what you think!
  4. Good News on that front, at least for the latter: https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/16158-june-20th-cults-of-cthulhu-and-a-time-to-harvest-release-in-hardback-worldwide/
  5. I'll be running a Stormbringer one-shot for my group as a change of pace between Call of Cthulhu campaigns. I'm looking for something that captures the spirit of the Young Kingdoms and isn't too dungeon crawly. I've read some of the adventures in the 3e GW core rulebook, and haven't been that enamored by them, but with some work for additional background, I can see them working. Does anyone have a favorite one to introduce people to Stormbringer?
  6. There was a very useful thread that was lost in time where published CoC 7e materials and upcoming and rumored supplements where compiled. Since we already have an official new post with all that's been published for CoC 7e, I thought it migh be fun and useful to centralize the talk about upcoming supplements somewhere, and keep it as a reference. Feel free to expand on these.

  7. In addition to what's already been mentioned, I use the old house rule of having Luck directly linked to APP. So if a player loses some APP due to an injury, they will also have a lower luck score. Keep in mind I don't really use the optional luck rules, so don't know how they might affect that, but at least for me it's worked and made the characteristic even more relevant.
  8. That makes sense. I guess it's hardly a priority with everything else going on, but are there plans to restock some, or were this ones the last remaining?
  9. Without going into spoilers, you might also get plenty of inspiration from something like CoC's Reign of Terror, which shares plenty of common ground with Gothic Horror.
  10. Having played a somewhat lackluster campaign of Curse of Strahd, I do think it can be done potentially better in CoC, but you'd probably have to change a lot of stuff, particularly the more fantastical aspects and the recurrence of combat encounters. I think a Dark Ages translation would work just fine, and someone talked about it on Reddit once:
  11. Is the die-cut version still available? The link doesn't seem to be working anymore.
  12. Fascinating! I'm relatively new to the hobby, but in what I've been able to study its history, I can't recall dual starter / sourcebook box sets being made that way. I thought the Runequest Sartar Set was going to be just a Starter Set, for example. Sounds like a smart move, since this way veteran players with the rulebooks will still be interested in these products. I guess my doubt then would be if that means hardbacks aren't going to to be made for those products, and if they are, how much crossover could they potentially have. Excited either way!
  13. As @SentinelHillPress covered most of what's been published for Gaslight and Dark Ages, I just wanted to add that, surprisingly, Dreamlands has had even less support from Chaosium. I can only think of The Dreaming Stone as a direct supplement. Sure, you can go there in and there are occasional scenarios in old collections and some write-up about it in the Kingsport sourcebook, but not much else. You could also look at ArcDream's The Sense of The Sleight-of-Hand Man campaign.
  14. No Man's Land is a pretty rare one, and WW1 setting has been virtually unexplored ever since, so that'll be a great addition. Tatters is currently on POD at DriveThruRPG so don't know how scarce it really is. Same goes for Spawn of Azathoth, which had a 2004 edition, I think. I would love to see Dark Designs and Sacraments of Evil, which are both Gaslight scenario collections. It would be a nice complement to the eventual release of 7E Gaslight. Same goes for The Dreaming Stone campaign for Dreamlands, which is also kind of hard to find nowadays.
  15. I guess Rick will soon answer this more thoroughly, but in a recent video he uploaded to the CoC Facebook group, he showcased two options for the box set: a 1 inch rules box set, and the larger 2 inch box set that includes all supplements.
