Page 36, Map of Vermont Should be “EXPLANATION"

p. 29 Anti-Bacteriological Misters section —— Biologically, viruses aren't prokaryotes. So either taking out viruses or use "any prokaryotes (bacteria) and viruses" instead would be better.

It's in Chapter Seven: China, where the handout Carlyle Papers China #9 has it said that "At moonrise, the blood of an innocent must fill the pupil of the Eye once per drumbeat from then to moonset." So how long is a drumbeat?

Deities P46 - May attack with either its claws or mouth to bite, or can send forth one of its viper-like face tentacles to either strike, grab, or bite (each tentacle possesses its own mouth). its nose-tentacle, or a bite on any given round. The last sentense seems to be from the old version and is not needed.

Clarification: The following content is much based on my personal experience and perception. 1. The Dynasty of DND 3E (2000-2010) Considering the popularity of Call of Cthulhu this year, it's kind of hard to believe that the game wasn't among the first trpg games introduced into China. However, the early days of Chinese Trpg were dominated by the 3rd edition of Dungeon and Dragon, or in other words, Fantasy Roleplaying. Several factors contributed to the publicity of the genre. By the year 2000, personal computers had entered ordinary chinese familes. Kids were eager to play any pc-game they have access to, so when Baldur Gate came into China, players were quickly facinated by its rich flavor of fantasy and the way it resolves combat, demonstrating a dangerous but vivid world. Baldur Gate was released in 1998 and introduced into China by The Third Wave (a computer game company based in Taiwan), which later published a chinese translation of DND 3e in 2002, the same year when Baldur Gate II came out. The rulebook was not a big hit compared to its computer game cousin, but has a certain amount of loyal supporters among Baldur Gate players and fantasy novel readers alike. Over the years, some of these books slept quietly in school and public libraries, just like treasures waiting for adventurers to discover. Year 2000 also saw the first chinese version of J.R.R.Tolkien‘s best-selling novel series, The Lord of the Rings, followed by Dragonlance Chronicle Trilogy and The Dark Elf Trilogy in 2001. Meanwhile, It was until 2005 that Robert Chamber's novel collection “The King in Yellow” was introduced into China. Buried among other weird tales, the story failed to attract enough audience to make Cthulhu Mythos a distinct genre. Later, a group of DND fans in Shantou University translated and published the revised version of Dnd 3e, or DND Ver 3.5. Both 3E and v3.5 rulebooks can still be found today in online flea markets , and they never failed to allure new players into the wild world of sword & magic. On the other hand, bulltin boards or personal websites were the main online gathering places and a great way to grab and share game contents, including translation of game supplements unpublished in China and original adventures or monsters written by fans. In the following years, DND continued to be the most popular TRPG in China. WOD and other rules had a certain amount of players, but never too much. And in the shadow of the high fantasy kindom, a game of horror is quietly waiting for its debut in China.

Recently, a series of events in China Call of Cthulhu community inspired me to write about the development of COC RPG in China. I don't know if this is the right place to post such an article, pls kindly inform me if its the wrong place. So here is the outline i've prepared. My english is quite poor, so i'll do this step by step. Be there any other issue you wanna learn about, just let me know. 1. The Dynasty of DND 3E (2000-2010) 2. Rising of Cthulhu (2010-2015) 3. The Clash between Anime and Reality(2015-2021) 4. The Surge of Fan-made Content(2015-2021) 5. The Cthulhu Empire (2018-2021) 6. Arclight and the Official Chinese Version(2021)

As far as I know, the answer is no. Corruption kind of exist in COC, though not under that name. Now I see why it's a COC hack.

I wonder which COC7 rules you‘re going to use in your game, cause in my opinion these rules are highly customed to low fantasy settings. Seriously curious!

P246 - left sidebar crush should deal 5d6 damage, and grab should deal 1D6 damage + 10 con

Browsing recently on the new BRP website and saw the Italian version of BRP SRD available for download. https://brp.chaosium.com/brp-downloads/ Is it a official translation by Chaosium or a fan-translated version? Just trying to make clear if a Chinese Srd is possible just like the Italian one. BTW, if i want to publish a rpg written in Chinese based on the BRP OGL, do i have to translate all my content into English for possible review by Chaosium?

volume 2 - page 196 - left sidebar wrong half and one-fifth value volume 2 - page 249 - right sidebar the highlighted part should be deleted volume 2 - page 250 - column 1 missing right parenthesis

Volume II Page 240 - Column 2 spells missing Page 241 - left sidebar since regular sanity loss is 2D4/2D10, it should be 4D4/4D10 when doubled. P244 - left sidebar should be Zathog instead Page 241 - column 2 Zathog here is both mindless and intelligent.

Recently I went back to read occupation section from the 1920s Investigator's Companion. It's fun and provides much differentiation in character building stage, which is highly similar to the Experience Package in 7e investigator's book. I kind of think that expericnce packages actually derived from that. Is there any chance that the 1920s Occupation would get a official upgrade, maybe fully converted into experience packages for 7e players? Also my friend shared with me the Supplement book Cthulhu 2020 published by KADOKAWA, Japan. The book is a mess overall, but it provides in the occupation section some real up-to-date options, such as Youtuber or Idol. These settings might seem a little strange, but do call the ancient horrors up from their cold dead graves to year 2020. Will there be a official supplement set in 2020 lovecraftian country, or at least America?

Volume II - Page 179 - sidebar missing page number & right parenthesis without peer Volume II - Page 183 - sidebar missing attack number (might it intended although)

Volume II - Page 119 - col 2 east should be eat

And about pronunciation, Just can't figure out how the name pronounces like this. Is it a mistake or it really makes that sound?

Volume II Page 154: PROFILE: AHTU: f should be if Page 156: PROFILE: THE BLACK WIND: Should be "would prevent death and halve the daily CON loss." Page 160: PROFILE: KRUSCHTYA EQUATION: should add a right parenthesis

Don't know if it's meant like that, but Pharol is the only Lessor Old One without "If reduced to zero hit point…" in Armor section.

The new edition no longer has conceal as a skill, so should it be stealth or sleight of hand?

Volume II: Page 54, Sidebar Scoop (mnvr): each round 1D4 investigators or other humans are scooped up by Cthulhu's flabby claws or face tentacles to die hideously. Scoop (mnvr) 100% (50/20), damage 1D3 people killed So 1D4 or 1D3? (btw its 1d3 as per core rules) Page 57, sidebar "Attacks per round" Should add a "N/A" after that. Page 20 & 174 Pharol is a GOO in the catagory list, but LOO & UE in his own entry.

Volume I: Page 131 Main entry of Star Vampire "If the correcting binding is known, they may be controlled to serve;" "Correcting" should be correct or corresponding Volume II: Page 116 Main entry of IOD "The deity is mentioned Prinn's De Vermiis Mysteriis as a dangerous entity with insatiable hunger," should insert an "in" after mentioned. Page 117, In the right sidebar Paralysis (magical wards or forms or protection may reduce the difficulty of this roll) might should be "magical wards or other forms of protection" Lifeforce Drain "once paralyzed, a victim mat be drained" mat should be may or might, "Alien technology or magic may allow the brain to be removed and placed in another host body, although this is not with its own risks." Should be not without instead of not with. Page 124 Main Entry of Lilith "Certainly, such human contact has worked to effectively mask Lilith's true from and identify from human perception." "true from" => "true form" Page 148 "The Horned One may appear without horns (and may be addressed as the Dark One), and appear more akin to the Black Pharaoh, but dressed as a 17th-century highway or traveling man or woman, or dressed in a modern suit)." Should have one more or one less parenthesis. Page 150 Combat statistics of The Horned One It says that the avatar can use a "death touch" attack Attacks per round:1 (unarmed, weapon, horn gore, death touch) but the death touch is never mentioned elsewhere in the book.

Maybe it should count like this: four claw attacks, one body bash, adding up to five attacks per round. The problem is that, almost all monsters are able to perform body bash, thus all monsters should have one more move (bash) per round, which obviously is not what the rule wants.

Thanks Mike for such nice explanation of rules! But it's Yaoguai instead of yaoguia. Book I, Page 38 Main entry of Chakota "The CON and POW equal its STR, while DEX is always 1, and its Move is always 4." the number should be 15 as per the statistics listed below, not 1

Book I, Page 16 "Some monsters may, like Mythos deities teach or otherwise impart the knowledge of a spell to a human" Should add a comma after "deities" Book I, Page 106 APP of Spawn of Nyogtha's human form is (2D6+9)*5, which will possibly exceed the human limit of 99 (with a maximum of 105) Is it meant that monsters with human form don't have to comply with human limits? Book II, Page 20 & Page 45 On Page 20, Byatis is listed as a "Great Old One", but in its own entry it is marked as an "Old One". Book II, Page 20 & 23 Abhoth used to be an "Outer God". I looked back into 6th and 7th edition of rulebook and they both said that Abhoth is Outer God, along with Daoloth and other entities. Is this an intended change or a mistake? Book II, Page 200 "Smash 80% (40/16), damage 12D6 (see above)" should add "(muvr)" after Smash On Page 10-11 of Book I, smell is emphsized as an important element for building up horrific and scaring atomsphere. My problem is that, do investigators have to pass any skill roll to detect the smell of monsters (or maybe to tell it apart from scents from daily life)? If yes, what skill is the most appropriate? (Spot hidden?) And on Page 12. "In Ireland, a ghoul might be considered a banshee, a grogoch, or a pooka, while in China it might be thought of as a mogwai." In China we use the word "Yaoguai"(妖怪, yokai) more often than "moguai"(魔怪). People would scream "妖怪啊！" and flee in panic if they see something alien and otherworldly, such as a ghuol or a deep one. We also use "Yaojing"(妖精, usually meaning Evil Spirit"). Yaoguai is often strange and alien, but Yaojing is usually more intelligent and human-like, both in mind and appearance. 狐狸精 (fox spirit), for example, can use magic tricks to shapeshift into, and even have babies with human. As a conclusion, "yaoguai" is better than "moguai" as in this case.

I noticed that some of the Blessings have negative effects. Are they meant to be bestowed along with other beneficial blessings? Also it seems strange that Nyarlathotep does not have any possible blessings.
