I started playing RPGs in 1989. Greg's games have been a continuous presence in my gaming table for three decades. Now he's not among us, but I'm sure a lot of people all over the world will remember him. A we'll make sure he's not forgotten. Thank you for so many hours of joy shared among friends, Greg.

Episode 3 (Month 3) Scenario Released
Morgan Blackhand replied to Mike M's topic in Cult of Chaos - forum now closed
I thought the same when I read it. If you have experienced players in the group the last thing you wanna hear is "Oh, so we are facing the Mi-Go in this one". -
Nice work! Thanks for the cover!

There is a great article in National Geographic about the Official Automobile Blue Book, a road guide from early 20th century. It's a very good source of info if you wanna know how (bad) were the road system back then. http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2016/05/20/this-1916-guide-shows-what-the-first-road-trips-were-like/ Have fun!

This is a very important question, Agrivar. The Depression hit hard on people of every income. The most direct impact in the game probably is the Credit rating skill. I bet Credit rating can suffer a lot for it! One of the PCs of my group is the son of a wealthy industrial mogul. He is studying Metallurgy at Miskatonic, with all the expenses paid by his dad. At the beginning of the campaign the entire group is living in a nice mansion in Saltonstall Street, property of the aforementioned PC father. The character invited his student friends to live with him 'cause the only company he got was his driver/butler (that keeps an eye on him and informs the industrial). I think it can be interesting if the family wealth suffered in the Great Depression and the PC don't knows it. Here's a pic that sums up the hardships of those years.

I've been re-reading some old sourcebooks before GMing A Time to Harvest, especially the ones dealing with Arkham and Miskatonic University. For some Keepers the brief notes included on the second installement of the campaign may be enough but I know my players, so better be safe than sorry Here's the most useful sourcebooks (and its reference number) you can consult: Arkham Unveiled (2325) The Compact Arkham Unveiled (2356) H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham (8803) Miskatonic University: The Universe Guidebook (2352) Miskatonic University (2389) Also I think one of the most useful sourcebooks for any "classic era" Call of Cthulhu game is the 1920s Investigator's Companion Vol.1 (2343), later reprinted as part of The 1920's Investigator's Companion (2370). The info included in these companions is pure gold for recreating the life in the Roaring Twenties. Any sourcebook you would add to the list? P.S.: Here's a couple of pics of my copy of the spanish edition of Arkham Unveiled. It includes a wonderful map of Arkham.

Nice work, both of you! By the way, pookie, given the date of the Gazette I guess you are playing the campaign in modern era, right? -

Props for the Cult of Chaos
Morgan Blackhand replied to Thuzle's topic in Cult of Chaos - forum now closed
You all probably know about this one but, just in case. The HPLHS has a great prop collection for their Cthulhu LARP games. The Miskatonic Library Card, the Arkham Library Card, the Massachussetts Auto Registration and the Massachussetts Drivers License are some of the props suitable for your PCs in A Time to Harvest. http://www.cthulhulives.org/toybox/PROPDOCS/FreeProps.html -
Some useful links for your CoC campaign
Morgan Blackhand replied to Morgan Blackhand's topic in Call of Cthulhu
This would be very useful for Cthulhu Now and Delta Green games. It's a fake search warrants generator. Very easy to use, it creates a PDF file. http://www.dehp.net/fakewarrant/ And you all probably know about this one but, just in case.
