  1. Thanks for the note. Give it a try when you're next available; we've just made adjustments. Matt
  2. The updated hi-resolution character sheets should be in place on the website. Thank you all for your patience and pointing this out in the first place. Please let us know if there are further problems! Matt
  3. I'm also planning on running BMM for my players in 2022. I'm making major, MAJOR, changes to the chapters, keeping the core and the elements that makes it really cool, and removing the weak bits. I'd be interested in hearing from players who have already played it what they liked best. For example, I know of players who very much liked the slow-burn beginning and liked that there aren't Mythos elements until later in the game. Any players reading this want to contribute their thoughts? Matt
  4. Thanks for checking in. The character sheets have all been updated to the higher resolution files and we're in the process of updating the links. Thanks for your patience! Matt
  5. Thanks again! We're looking at this now and you're absolutely right. I'll send a note when it is rectified. Matt Ryan
  6. Thanks for pointing this out and I'm glad you like the sheets. We've updated the rest of the sheets to match the core 1920 sheet. Thanks again, Matt Ryan
  7. Thanks so much. @JonHook really did a fantastic job with this one. You're gonna like it!
  8. These pieces are fantastic! Wow. Having participated in this project, I'm naturally biased, but I hadn't seen these illustrations 'til just now. Really nice work!
  9. I'm sure with a little finagling you could pull that off. I can see private investigators or investigative newspaper writers easily slotting into the scenarios. Chapter one includes enough "missing student" elements to include those roles. Might be more challenging using non-students in later chapters, but far from impossible. I can't remember if the authors included suggestions for other investigator characters; you might have to alter it yourself.
  10. Have you looked at A Time to Harvest, the free organized play campaign from a couple years back? https://www.chaosium.com/a-time-for-harvest/ We had a pretty good time with it. Bit-sized campaign chapters that don't require a ton of Keeper work, but provide all the essentials: clues, big cast of NPCs, maps and plans, and tons of terror-filled moments. Chapter 2, set in Miskatonic University, and chapter 5, which includes a spectacular other-worldly summoning, are especially enjoyable.
  11. Nice to hear both positive and negative feedback. I agree with those who said the characters and their sheets were too much for an introductory adventure. We also noted that all the characters had a lot of Magic points to spent on very few Spirit Magic spells, and very few Rune points to spend on many, many Rune spells. We spent too much time looking up Rune spells and then not casting them. I also have to say that we missed many of the game-system innovations incorporated into the latest edition of Call of Cthulhu, and were hoping that this edition of Rune Quest would use some of those innovations. I also really want this project to succeed.
  12. To those interested in running CoC games at NecronomiCon Providence, the online submission form is fixed: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc7BX3G8raZIaC_dAnkwI3nnx_ZOjGYW1br2yFhIDsy_HYHRQ/viewform I'll be running three games, although I don't know yet which scenarios I'll run. Hope to see some of you there.
  13. Thanks Mike. For anyone else who is trying, the submission form doesn't work. It is "in disarray", to quote one of the organizers. I've emailed them directly and they've promised to get back to me with registration details. The fastest way to contact them was the Facebook. I look forward to meeting folks at the con. Matt
  14. Anyone know if they are still looking for keepers? Seems most of the exchanges happened earlier this year. Matt
  15. Dimbyd - I was there something like five or six years ago. If I could find my old passport I'd know for sure. Ah well.
