Maack - basically you just need to join the Cult of Choas to access the Chaos Library. You can do so at chaosium.com by going to the Cult of Chaos page. Then you can share scenarios!

Hi The updated PDFs do include the corrections noted in the threads you mentioned - I just forgot in my eagerness to include some of the info in those threads in the errata documents.

Hi Just to let you know that corrected PDFs for the following books have been uploaded to the Chaosium website (go via your Completed Orders), DriveThru RPG, and Bits & Mortar. Call of Cthulhu Rulebook Investigator Handbook (well, this will be uploaded within the next 3-4 hours) Keeper Screen Pack (Keeper Reference Booklet) Doors to Darkness Pulp Cthulhu The Two-Headed Serpent The Grand Grimire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic.

Hi I can tell you about these, releasing this year: The Two-Headed Serpent - PDF available now, print version on its way The Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic - PDF available now, print version on its way Down Darker Trails Tales of Sandy Petersen Alone Against the Dark As you can see, we are increasing the number of Call of Cthulhu releases and aim to continue to do so. Joining this cool stuff will be more cool stuff that'll knock your socks off - but word on that later, once things are further into layout. The usual approach we now take is to release the PDF, which is then followed by the print version (people buying the PDF from Chaosium can get the cost of the PDF discounted from the cost of the print version, when that arrives on sale). Ab Chaos, the Chaosium Newsletter, is the best way to hear about when releases go on sale.

This thread will post errata for Call of Cthulhu books/PDFs as and when updates occur. Once PDFs have been updated, they are replaced on the Chaosium website, DriveThru RPG, and Bits & Mortar.

As per page 61 - it says: Note that heroes with the Resilient Talent (see page 25) can also apply its effect to the Sanity loss, after the Sanity loss has been halved by spending Luck. Thus, a hero with the Resilient Talent may (as they have they the talent) can simply burn through Luck points and not use the general Luck for 1 Sanity "Luck Spend" but if they do, then it must be done after Sanity adjustment through Luck Spend. Most people with the Resilient Talent will, of course, just use that alone.

There will not be a single errata sheet for all Call of Cthulhu 7e books, that's too unwieldy. It'll probably be a single doc for the Rulebook, Handbook, and Screen. And, single docs thereafter for other books as necessary.

The PDFs via Bits and Mortar are also updated - updates are done on an on-going basis. There should be one done within the next month.

Hi It's an error in the example, p 61, it should read: For example: Dirk sees an awful monster and fails his Sanity roll. The Keeper rolls and gets the maximum Sanity loss of 20 points. Dirk’s player decides that now is not a good time for Dirk to lose it, and so states he is spending 40 Luck to halve the Sanity loss to 10 points. Dirk also has the Resilient Talent; his player decides to spend 5 further Luck to reduce the Sanity loss by 5. Dirk is now losing only 5 Sanity points but has spent 45 Luck points in doing so.

You would have to ask Sixtystone Press, who are developing the book.

Thanks - corrections are made to print files and PDF in due course - on an ongoing basis between other projects.

Matt - for personal use that's fine (assume you are printing out reference stuff etc. - it'd be cheaper to buy the print copy than print out the whole PDF, what with paper and ink costs!)

You might like to try the FREE solo scenario Alone Against The Flames (see same page where you downloaded the Call of Cthulhu Quick-Start at Chaosium.com The solo teaches you the rules as you play and you could use this to also introduce your partner by acting a Keeper with the book. 7th edition is intended to be a bit more user-friendly in introducing new players to the system, and remains backwards compatible with all previous Call of Cthulhu material.

We will see - how Alone Against the Dark performs and if there is a demand for such things beyond Alone Against the Flames.

Yes, that would be possible.

Thanks. We'll be getting those corrected and will upload the corrected PDF to the Chaosium website. You'll be abe to redownload via your Completed Orders.

Not that I am aware of being specifically based on Holmes. But would love to see something...

You see, there are ways of regaining small pieces of Sanity but major awards tend to be geared to the PC actually (personally) 'stopping' something bad (i.e. somehow 'defeating' the Mythos in some way). Thus, greater reward equals greater personal risk - which, of course, is a slippery slope to destruction.

I sometimes spice up library visits by having an interesting/annoying/angry/officious librarian to provoke a bit of gameplay (not really an obstacle to finding the clues they need but some added colour). Depending on what you are running, having the odd cultist trailing the PCs and getting in their way (or trying to get the book before they do) can mix things up. But, generally, feed the clues and move on - players tend to enjoy reading handouts and then making deductions.
