Thanks for the tips; but actually I'm looking formost for stuff to read on Mexican history (I know that Cthulhu scenarios are no history books, but it is always fun to read them side-to-side with history books), not really something to play a campaign in Mexico, so shifting a scenario there wouldn't really help ...

The Mysteries of Mesoamerica book from Pagan actually has like 80 pages on background information. I think that would definitely be the place to go for what you're looking.  I recall there being some copies left in the Arkham Bazaar, and of Mortal Coils as well. 

The campaign Tatters of The King really is the place to go. Ripples From Carcosa is a nice multi-era collection of scenarios dealing with Hastur. Also, there's a great write-up on the Hastur Mythos on Delta Green: Countdown, if you can get your hands around a copy.

I've seen most of the POD titles are early 7th edition releases, before the new production values were set. Can we also expect Secrets of Tibet as a POD soon? I think it can work really well as a complement to Children of Fear, or the classic Tatters of the King

I see there no longer are any copies  of the Core book in the US warehouse. Will they be restocked eventually?

To anyone interested, Rick recently mentioned a potential January release for the HoTOE reprint in the CoC Facebook group. Fingers crossed.

We are the Chaosium, not the Orderium, as the saying goes. We don't have a standard approach to what books get a bigger map tucked in the back. It just depends on whether we feel it works better that way, based on the maps used in the book.

As a very happy costumer, I trust your gut feelings. Excited for what surprises I might find tucked in the back in the future! 

Thanks for the guidance @oldschooltommy! Was the Terror Australis map for the whole country? Now I wonder if the new version has one, but can see why it wouldn't.

Harlem Unbound has larger maps in the back of the book.

Thanks, Rick. Great to know that! Is there a particular rationale behind which products include it? I know it's just a nice little added bonus, and it really won't determine if I buy a product or not, but now I'm curious. Love all the work you've all being doing with CoC 7th.

Children of Fear will do so. For that matter, so will the reprints of Beyond the Mountains of Madness and Horror on the Orient Express.

Amazing news! Really excited about those reprints, in general. 

I have Berlin The Wicked City, Masks of Nyarlathotep and Down Darker Trails, apart from the base set for CoC 7e, and was pleased to see the first two came with a map (and understand  why DDT didn't, since it's a more general setting). This made me think about which other supplements include a map. I know bigger versions of some are available at the Red bubble store, but which ones already come with the smaller version included? Would love to know if Reign of Terror and Harlem Unbound come with one.

I do not want to be too nosy, but will "Arkham and a Guide to the Miskatonic Valley" be one book.

 

I wonder if that Guide was what eventually became the newly released Miskatonic Country Scenarios: A Keeper's Guide from Sentinel Hill Press: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/233636/Miskatonic-Country-Scenarios-A-Keepers-Guide?src=newest

I imagine Chaosium is having a lot on their hands at the moment with the recent Mansions of Madness print release and the upcoming The Children of Fear campaign (really excited for that one!),so should we still expect this reprint version to be available soon?

So if a character makes a Cthulhu Mythos skill check in regards to a ghoul, instead of the Keeper saying "These humanoids burrow under cemeteries and other places where human bodies are plentiful, as they feed on corpses," they can say "In the Necronomicon, one passage reads 'And the people of that land henceforth interred their dead in high red towers. And these towers they raised to be above the clutches of those that once were men. And those that once were men were as a reflection in a glass: opposite but the same. For they walked under the earth, and favoured the night, and fed on that on which man feeds not. But just as the reflection in the glass of a man stands near when a man stands near, and is not when the man stands not, so too those that once were men are near where men are near, and are not where men are not."

What the players do with that is up to them.

I love that idea. I'll be stealing that for my games. Some prior prep will be needed to get the tone of the excerpts right, but I love how it builds into the atmosphere. 

Amazing news! I'm one of those people who got into the game after the initial release of HotOE and isn't willing to pay the eBay prices. Are the books being planned to be made available as hardcovers? 

As of now, Chaosium has only released a sample of Cthulhu Icarus in Cthulhu Through The Ages. There are rumors of a campaign or full-blown supplement in the works. Stygian Fox's Salo's Glory is a scenario on that setting, tho. In the old Miskatonic University Monographs there were a couple of sci-fi supplements under the name "Cthulhu Rising". The scenario collection Strange Aeons II had "Time After Time", which is set on a space ship as well.

Since the livestream is done, is there any scheduled date for an eventual release of The Dead Within?
