This is a great question, as I'll be at ChaosiumCon as well. I'd love to pick up some Pendragon in advance, too. Just sayin' :)

Managed to score my first ever game of Pendragon at the upcoming ChaosiumCon; would love for this to be available at the Dealer's Room then.

I did a flip-through of the paperback version; it's ridiculously well done! The hardcover should DEFINITELY be an insta-buy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNk1xsFwSok - Bill

Thank you for your kind words, John! They do keep me going and keep me fueled! Here's another wonderful Miskatonic Repository scenario, "The Lost Temple of the Vethalam"! Instead of Arkham, Innsmouth or even Egypt, take your Call of Cthulhu Investigators to 1920's India for bit of digging and sanity loss! - Bill

Should you purchase the new "Japan: Empire of Shadows" sourcebook? Absolutely YES, and I'm going to prove it:

Mail call today brought the BRP Universal Game Engine HARDCOVER! Spoiler Alert: It's GORGEOUS. Bonus: I rant about the games or campaigns that I would love to see created with this system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR9TOU4uqZ8 Thanks as always for your support! - Bill

The new folks over at the Call of Cthulhu sub-reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/callofcthulhu/) are making me a bit salty, so I had to make this quick video to help them out!

I think that you could put something in the discovery section of the scenario that mentions people going missing, as opposed to directly calling out the slaves and their handlers. Instead of the slaves, it could be just various and sundry folks. Hunters, trappers, folks who live on the outskirts of town, homeless people, etc. It's an easy fix, I'm thinking. - Bill

It's just not a Call of Cthulhu without a crazed, evil cult to give your Investigators a run for their money! Let's use Chaosium's "Cults of Cthulhu" to make one, shall we? We shall!

To Fudge, or Not To Fudge? That is the question! I have an answer, and BONUS STORY TIME! Enjoy and thank you all for Subscribing and sharing! - Bill

Another quick video! A day late and a dollar short, we flip through the first issue of Bayt-Al-Azif and I show you all the wonders it contains and manage to name drop half a dozen other people and creators and publishers! Enjoy and thank you for your curiosity and support! - Bill

I don't know what the actual font they use is, nor the license, or anything legal like that, but there are fonts out there that come close to the Call of Cthulhu look. Look at Beaumarchais Regular and Columbus Regular. - Bill

New video alert! I'm still learning and growing and trying to become a better creator, so I'm going big and I'm taking you through, step by step, "Heinrich's Guide to Call of Cthulhu Character Creation"! This is a wonderful collection of random tables that serves to give your two dimensional character THREE dimensions (but not more, because Tindalos, that's why) and create a backstory that you can use for better RP and your Keeper can use to make your life difficult or at least interesting, especially when it comes to the longer campaigns. I do hope you enjoy it and please do feel free to comment, share and subscribe! - Bill

I love it! I just renewed my Zoom subscription, so I should be good to go here soon! Thank you! - Bill

Another video! 5 Mythos & Horror podcasts y'all need to be listening to! Plus a bonus one! There are some predicable entries here, but I hope I might surprise you with one or two and give you something new to listen to!

New video! I figured I'd take up less BRP real estate by just adding to the original thread. This time, I'm showing folks how to make a Call of C'thulhu character in FIVE MINUTES by walking through The Dhole's House! I love that website! I hope folks enjoy it! - Bill

Thank you, Darius!

I'll have you know, Mad Sir, that I'm now up to TWENTY FOUR subscribers! (Laugh of a mad video maker) Seriously, thanks for subscribing. Hope you like future videos! - Bill

Music to my ears! Thanks so much for your interest and kindness! - Bill

Yes, I got bored after shuttering my podcast, so I decided to jump on another bandwagon, a day late and a dollar short, and start a YouTube channel where I ramble as old duffers are wont to do, about Call of Cthulhu and other horror based role playing games. It's new - ridiculously new - I've posted my first long form video today - but I'd still like to share it with my fellow Keepers and Gamers. I've got a lot of plans for it, in ways that I can give back to this hobby that I love so much. If you're a publisher, artist, writer, reviewer, or even a website owner, I want to interview you and do some deep dives into your work, creative process, love of the hobby, and so on. If you are one of those, look out for an invite to get on a Zoom call in the future, or feel free to reach out to me. I'll probably stay way from Actual Play, as that seems to be quite the crowded arena, but reserve the right to change my mind in the future. I hope you enjoy my inagural video, and hope you'll subscribe and share, should you feel so inclined. And yes, I do call out @Mike M in the final minutes. Thank you all so much! - Bill

Chaosium didn't invent The Starter Set, but they sure as heck have brought it back into vogue with their 7th Edition boxed set. I always, always recommend it as the perfect gateway drug into the game. Hope you get it, hope you love it! - Bill

This, this, this. Too often, I find that when someone new to the game wants to do something ridiculous ("I want to be a cult member!" "I want to be a Deep One!" or possibly in this case, "I want to be blind!") after a bit more private discussion with the player, it tends to be a bit of "Look at MEEEEEE!"ism happening. They don't want to be a member of a team, they want to be the point of focus at the table and have a starring role, showing off their smarts, their wit, or their dramatic skills. Me, personally, I nip it in the bud! - Bill

Yet another nice touch from Chaosium to help Keepers! I'm certainly going to download them just as soon as can get my one of my browsers to work with itch.io's new downloading mechanism. Thanks again! - Bill

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
