Updated CoC PDFs not supporting layers anymore
Bill Mize replied to MandilarasM's topic in Call of Cthulhu
This is an eye saver, as well as an ink saver, for those of us who still print out PDF's, put them in a binder, and then scribble the hell all over them. As far as electronic versions are concerned, I am always grateful when Chaosium, or others, create ePub versions to go along with the fancy schmancy PDF version. - Bill, an old Grognard who pines for the day of black letters on a white page and black and white illustrations. Emphasis on old. -
This is definitely the way. I'm eagerly looking forward to getting the Starter Kit! As Chaoisum, with one fell swoop, seemed to reinvigorate and bring back the Starter Kit (I'm looking at you, Free League), I'm glad they are being consistent with bringing out one for Pendragon. Well done, sirs! - Bill

New POD Call of Cthulhu Classic titles available at DriveThruRPG
Bill Mize replied to MOB's topic in Call of Cthulhu
This is SO smart on Chaosium's part! I've been preaching the "long tail" POD sermon for years now, and I'm glad they are taking the time, effort and costs associated with reformatting the PDF's for print on demand. We win, as we get some great older scenarios and source material back in print at reasonable costs, and they win, as it's a nice little income stream that you can "set it and forget it". Thanks to everyone for their work on this! - Bill -

Upcoming CoC material (Rumored and Announced)
Bill Mize replied to AlonsoAguilurk's topic in Call of Cthulhu
Well that CERTAINLY calls for hardcovers and a slipcase, I am thinking. It's only proper. - Bill -
Thank you for responding, Mike; I do appreciate it! Spam folders checked, junk mail folders checked, all are barren of misplaced newsletters. Glad to unsubscribe and re-subscribe if someone can provide an unsubscribe link. I'd hate to be out of the loop, especially with regards to occasional news on Chaosium Con! Thanks for any assistance; - Bill

Not to derail, but I'm signed up for the Chaosium newsletter, and I don't think I've received one in quite some time. Did this newsletter come out recently? Thanks! - Bill

Upcoming CoC material (Rumored and Announced)
Bill Mize replied to AlonsoAguilurk's topic in Call of Cthulhu
The folks at C'thulhu Reborn have a nice series called Convicts and C'thulhu which could be used to source said Colonial Australia: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/184226/Convicts--Cthulhu - Bill -
Did you see this page? https://www.storytellingcollective.com/courses/write-your-first-adventure-gen-nov2022 It gives a day by day listing of what that day's lesson will involve once it's unlocked. Granted, it only lists the General Path (as opposed to including the Chaosium path), but it should give you a good idea of what you will be learning, the milestones you should hit that would allow you to complete your first scenario within the 30 days. I took the course a year or two ago, when it was C'thulhu only, and found it to be excellent, as Paul Fricker knows what the heck he is talking about when it comes to Call of C'thulhu and creating a quality scenario. I didn't keep to the timeline, as things were hectic at best, but once you buy it, it's yours forever to go back to again and again to sharpen your scenario writing skills. In my opinion, it's well worth the money. - Bill

Work-in-Progress: Cthulhu by Gaslight London Map
Bill Mize replied to MOB's topic in Call of Cthulhu
THIS is just wonderful news! I've got my fingers crossed for a nice, two volume, hardcover edition in a beautiful slipcase, a la Masks or 7th Edition. - Bill -
This is very well deserved! Congratulations to all involved! - Bill

Arkham Gazette Self-Isolation Sale
Bill Mize replied to SentinelHillPress's topic in Call of Cthulhu
I'm in for this! I needed Issue 3 to complete my set! - Bill -
I'll be running something at Serenity Games, here in St. Petersburg, on Free RPG this year. Already reached out and got a 4-6 hour block of time for something maddening; probably something out of Doors to Darkness. - Bill

I'll throw my name in here as well, just in case anyone needs a Keeper down here in Florida to work a convention. Name: Bill Country: USA City: St. Petersburg, FL (home of the newlywed and nearly dead) Have my own monthly group that meets at my house. Also a member of the Live Play group, Into The Darkness on YouTube. I've run Modern and Gaslight; working our way through "The Night of the Jackals" then heading into some of the Doors to Darkness stuff, before heading out on Shadows or Masks, can't decide which yet.

As a long time pulp aficionado, I am going to buy the HELL out of this book when it comes out. I'm hoping for hardcover, but that's just me. Who wouldn't want to run a scenario with The Shadow, Doc Savage and The Spider against Fu Manchu and the Cults of C'thulhu? - Bill
