Songs from Shriekback, Bauhaus, and Blue Öyster Cult spring to mind.

Seems to be a case perfectly waiting to have a critter made up to fit. Create something new. Riffing off a Y'golonac embodiment, perchance...

About six months out we will make an announcement.

So next year at the earliest.

"realistically" it "supposed" to be oppressive hellhole

In our group, we strive for authenticity over realistic. In that, everything and everyone gets a fair shake... if presented or depicted.

This may not be right, but if it is it sounds fabulous 🙂

 

That same description (complete with typo) is at more than a few other webstores offering pre order.

That's an ORC thing. I am not sure where that feedback goes. 

Into the internet pneumatic tubes to the office of someone named Buttle. Or maybe Tuttle.

The notices simply say "to be released on April 7th"

It does not imply that it will occur at a specific time on April 7th. 

I guess this thread has humor filters in place.

They are in the middle of the night in the US so I think it will take a few more hours...

So they're sleeping on the job? 😉

Look at calendar ...

Mine shows April 7.

This leads into the discussion about the limiting aspects many Keepers put on the Mythos as being sight-based horrors instead of the Mythos altering reality and the laws of physics to suit their existence in a basically Newtonian universe. Cosmological horrors are an experience beyond just seeing. e.g. Stand at the edge of Grand Prismatic Hot Spring in Yellowstone Park and sure, it's a visual feast of color and expanse, but it is also a sulfurous aromatic and lingering taste experience; a tactile encounter with humidity, moisture, and temperature changes; and various auditory water sounds of streaming, bubbling, and blurping. Such effects are vastly heightened in winter months.

A friend and game-companion at our table has hyperosmia. Among the many (mostly problematic) effects of this, they can tell people apart from great distances by how they (and their clothes) smell. If they were a character in the game, ghouls (as one evident example) would be detected long before they appeared.

GameKastle has a long history of announcing preorders that are not available for a year or more... 😢

There is synchronicity is finding your breakdown this evening. We are gearing up to run a homebrewed campaign and wanted to begin a character from their time as a squire and over the weekend, we just encountered the discrepancies between these two books.

Thanks for the in depth breakdown.
