    Yes, those two need to be input in to the PDF - I've sent a reminder to get this done as soon as possible.

    P59 Rulebook. Arillery, in general, does not require specialization - however, specialization is noted if the Keeper feels it is warranted.

    and... Dreamlands and... Gaslight - there are only so many hours in the day (I'm working on a spell to move to a pocket dimension where time does not exist).

    The errata stated in the thread is updated to the PDFs.
  5. Mike M
    Hi Please see the top post in this forum - which details any errata for various Call of Cthulhu books, including the Rulebook. The PDFs available - depending from where you purchase the books from (Chaosium.com, DriveThru, Bits and Mortar) - are updated with the errata (which in the main corrects typos but also clarifies/corrects wording on a few rules too).

    Characteristics (apart from the derived attributes) are used to determine Occupation Skill Points, so APP, DEX, STR, etc are useful as, depending on your character design, they decide your skill points pool. In scenarios, yes certain skills often crop up because they are generic / useful. Other professional skills (Science, Art, etc.) are called on for expertise - usually, you will find in a scenario (at least modern ones) that something can be achieved with a Hard roll in a more generic skill (or a combined roll), whereas using a specialist skill requires only a Regular (or sometimes, no) roll. This rewards players who design rounded characters with appropriate skills to their profession. It is important to consider the advice given in the Rulebook about ensuring your players design investigators appropriate to the scenario to be played.

    Soon - we are working on getting various scenarios laid out ready to upload to the library.

    It'll have pre-generated characters, they only regenerate if you do the right ritual... ; )

    Masks of Nyarlathotep will NOT be a kickstarter, it will be a regular release - PDF released first, followed by print edition around 3 months later. Those who purchase the PDF from Chaosium.com and who then purchase the print edition will get the price of the PDF deducted from the print edition.

    Members of the Cult of Chaos will be able to download a PDF of Scritch Scratch around a week before Free RPG Day to prepare to run the scenarios in stores and other venues on the day.

    Great stuff ! Keep it coming! International Tabletop Day soon and then Free RPG Day - lots happening and we love hearing about members of the Cult of Chaos getting involved!

    Hi International Tabletop Day on April 28th 2018 - I'm encouraging members of the Cult of Chaos to speak with their local gaming stores and venues to see what's happening, and to consider putting on a game to recruit players into the fun and maddness of Call of Cthulhu. I'd love to hear what you have planned, so please post up your events in this thread and share some photos and report of the day too (not forgetting to let Dustin also know to claim your Chaosium store credit) https://geekandsundry.com/international-tabletop-day-april-28-2018/

    The rules sections of Pulp Cthulhu and Down Darker Trails are but a single chapter, the rest of the books are scenarios, background, and guidance. Over half of the 7e Rulebook is monster stats, scenarios, guidance, spells, tomes, etc. Using the Contents pages of each to identify key rules sections should help to narrow down reading required if pressed for time. Also at the back of the 7e Rulebook (p407) are page long rules summaries for pretty much every core rule - 13 pages in total - you could just look over these to gain a brief understanding of the core rules.

    Thanks - have checked through - some of these have been corrected, others passed on to input.
  15. Mike M
    We are working on it now - its in layout and checking. It will be a few more weeks before its completed for PDF. We want to get it right, so no hard deadline - it's done when its done. But all being well, just a few weeks away now.
  16. Mike M
    Yes you will - we are in the process of laying them out to share with the Cult. Will post the up to the library when ready. Thanks for your patience.

    Hi Can you please message me stating which corrections you are not seeing in which books - the errata posted in the Errata Updates thread in this forum has been corrected in the books, so I'm trying to pin down what or where the issue may be. Please note only the corrections detailed in the Errata Updates thread have been approved for correction - this thread: Many thanks
  18. Mike M
    Thanks - please see Errata for Down Darker Trails in the Errata thread We'll be inputting any outstanding corrections to the PDF of the book in due course.

    Many thanks - have passed these to layout for input.
  21. Mike M
    Thanks - corrections have been passed to layout for input.

    I've been informed that the Call of Cthulhu Rulebook, Investigator Handbook, Keeper Screen Pack, and Pulp Cthulhu PDFs are being updated on Bits and Mortar, DriveThru, and the Chaosium website in the next 24 hours. The files should also be updated on Backerkit within a couple of days.
  23. Mike M
    Now is a good time to contact your local gaming store (or library, etc) and organise a demo game of Call of Cthulhu. Recruiting new players is always fun and you can do your bit to bring tentacly goodness to others pre-convention season. If you can't get to a store maybe consider running an online game. Don't forget to send your event reviews to Dustin to claim your store credit for running public games!

    Hi Corrections and checking of amendments is with Nick, who will go through these as soon as he is able, updating the various source hubs once done. Thanks
  25. Mike M
    Presumably you are a member of the Cult of Chaos - see the sub forum for members - which includes a number of posts about player aids (some people have created and shared NPC photo cards already).
