Forgive my ignorance, but why re-release 2nd edition as opposed to 1st? What's the difference between the two editions?

As someone who has played using Fantasy Grounds and Roll20, I'd go with Roll20. Roll20 is cheaper (unless you want to buy pre-prepared content) and more user friendly for technically challenged players (it runs in a browser), and has a more active pool of potential players to recruit from if you need more players. If I were going to work through the hassle of configuring port forwarding (which you will have to do with FG), I'd use MapTools for free, which also happens to be the only VTT that actually helps you create your own maps.

You no longer have to configure port forwarding for Fantasy Grounds as they have a game browser you can use now. The GM sets a password and only tells their players and you're good to go. Then it remembers which games you connected to and you don't have to search again. It's pretty slick and works great even for those who aren't comfortable with technology.

There's a Canadian store that has one of them: https://www.meeplemart.com/store/p/68444-Cthulhu-Britannica-The-Journal-of-Neve-Selcibuc.aspx

I know the FG people have been working on updating BRP rule set to work better. See the following:

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?57566-BRP-Upgraded-to-CoreRPG-v3-0

If you are still experiencing issues I would recommend you post on the Fantasy Grounds website as I don't believe that they frequent this sub very often.

Looks fantastic. I have already pre-ordered it and can't wait!

I think it's a good question. We've seen other games get new editions frequently and some games stay the same for decades. My feelings are that I'm sure at some point in the future there will be an 8th edition but that I'm not expecting it anytime soon. 7th edition seems to be doing very well and growing quite a lot in player base. From what Mike Mason says of future products it seems like they've got ideas for books (and dare I say box sets?) for many years to come.

Personally I don't see any reason for a new version. Pulp Cthulhu adds a different style of play without requiring a new version and the nature of CoC being that you can pretty much set it in any time period and add/remove a few skills and you're good to go really. 

I use Fantasy Grounds to run CoC and it works well. Haven't played those adventures you mention though but I did run the ones that come with the rule set and they worked well. Now I'm running Horror on the Orient Express and it's working well. 

Just watched his video today. This is exactly what I was looking for. Ordered! 

It's a great piece of software, I'm using it to run Horror on the Orient Express.

This book sounds fantastic!! Very much looking forward to it.

We'll be releasing the PDF next week.

Please note, the new title of this release is:
BERLIN: THE WICKED CITY
Unveiling the Mythos in Weimar Berlin

 

Hi, MOB. 

Is it possible to release the table of contents?

Edit: Also, when will Bits & Mortar get the PDF, same time you release it or when the book physically ships?

Thanks!

And surprisingly Babylon Berlin is available in Canada on Netflix so I shall be watching it!

Has anyone from Canada ordered the Masks slipcase and had it shipped into Canada? Any extra charges/duties from crossing the border? Haven't found a LGS that will order it and is part of the Bits & Mortar program and the ones that are part of the program don't return my emails.

Thanks and happy gaming!

I believe that Fantasy Grounds has a license to convert Call of Cthulhu modules, just need someone to do the actual conversion. They are working on converting Horror on the Orient Express right now but as I am not affiliated with Fantasy Grounds (other than a user) I have no idea if MoN is in the queue or actively being converted.

I don't think Canada has enough mythos activity. Beware the beavers from beyond!

It's either too cold or too many mosquitoes for anyone to be out and about.

The slipcase is not a limited edition, but it is possible our initial print run may run out. We may then do a second printing if we think the demand is there. We have reprinted the 7th ed core rules multiple times since 2014.

These coupons don't have an expiry date, though obviously at some point the physical books may no longer be in print. 

Great to hear, thank you!

Now what's the chance of having a Canadian warehouse in the near future? 😁

Is the slipcase edition limited, will I be able to get it next year? 

How long is the coupon good for to get the physical books if you order the PDFs?

Oh and welcome to Fantasy Grounds! 

Hi, comstock!

Yes, but I'm kind of on hiatus right now. Haven't run or played in a game for a while yet, life has just gotten too busy you know. 

If you have any questions head on over to the official Fantasy Grounds forums, lots of people to help out and everyone is very friendly. 

Happy gaming!

Good morning!

I can't speak about Roll20 as I don't use it but Fantasy Grounds is great. It has a lot of official modules available and all the 6th edition adventures are compatible with the 7th edition rule set. My favourite part of the rule set is that when you roll it tells you how much Luck to spend to get to the next level of success. It's a small thing but I like it!

I really like that cover for the second book.

Not in the least. Reign of Terror is being printed and shipped right now.

Awesome news, I guess I'd better get to putting in my order.

Thank you!

Hi!

Does this in any way impact the plans to release Reign of Terror in physical form?

Thanks,

Kelly

Hi, Ganaud. I play in a monthly CoC 7e game with one of the developers of the rule set for Fantasy Grounds and I can say it's really nice; I like it better than the 6e rule set Right now they only have the Keeper's book converted but are working on the Investigator's book. I also heard rumours that someone is converting Horror on the Orient Express, but that is rumour right now as nothing official has been announced. Overall it's pretty nice.  My favourite feature is when you roll it tells you how much Luck you need to spend to get to the next level of success. Small and simple but makes it quicker to determine if you want to spend Luck and if you have enough to spend so speeds up play I find.

I haven't used Roll20 so I cannot compare though.

There are multiple stores here in Montreal who have the books. I can ask which distributor they used, and if you can't get access, at least you can pass the details on to your FLGS.

Thanks, Sasori, much appreciated!

The FLGS I called can indeed get it in, in fact they ordered it for me without confirming that I truly wanted it or what the price was and only called back when it was in. Needless to say I had ordered it elsewhere due to their lack of communication.

Anyways, thanks again for the offer!
