Thanks for the update.

That isn't what I was suggesting. I was saying that the free version of Roll20 meets the needs of many people looking for a way to play online. It's a blank canvas to play your game on. However, the pay versions of either platform offer more features and make it even easier. That is all that I was attempting to convey. I didn't intend to seem disparaging of Roll20. I'm not going to attack or defend any of the vtt's. They are just tools for us to use to enjoy our past time. Finding the system that works best for you is great. However, the consumer has to be aware of the options to begin with. Luckily, we do have some options when it comes to playing online with friends, or strangers for that matter. All of the vtt's are steadily improving over time, as well, so things should just get better for us in online play. I'll recuse myself from the conversation since some people are taking my comments in a negative context.

The core books and a few supplements are now in stock. Any word on these other titles?

Thanks for the response. I was hoping I could wait for Pulp Cthulhu's imminent arrival and add it to my slip case order to avoid paying for shipping twice. However, if the slip cases are limited then I may not have that option.

I never said otherwise. Ultimately, it's a matter of what you want out of the vtt. If cost is a major factor than you can't beat free, but you get what you pay for. That is good enough for a lot of people. If your not committed to one platform or another then trying out different ones might be a good idea before settling in. Some people like to use Tabletop Simulator, as well.

Will Chaosium offer the 3-in-1 slip case set of the core books in the store indefinitely or are they limited leftovers from the Kickstarter?

The subscription for Fantasy Grounds is the same price as the subscription for Roll20. However, with Fantasy Grounds you also have the option of making a one time purchase for lifetime access. You can also use FG to play any rpg that you want, but they offer enhanced, rule system specific automated features and the platform virtual equivalent of core books and supplements for the game lines that they officially support, already implemented into the VTT and ready to play.

Fantasy Grounds has official support for Call of Cthulhu. You can purchase the rule system and many supplements there for use on their platform. The rules are all automated and implemented into the software. They have had 6th edition for years and 7th Edition is currently being built. I suspect that it will be ready before the end of the year. http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?30596-Will-there-be-a-full-CoC-7e-ruleset

Sounds good. Thanks for the update.

@Chaosium, Any idea when all of the 7th Edition physical books will be available on Chaosium dot com for order? Will they include the PDFs? Is there a GM screen?
