There's Brian Lumley's stories of David Hero and Elden the Wanderer, explicitly set in HPL's Dreamlands (though a pulpier version of it): Hero of Dreams, Ship of Dreams, Mad Moon of Dreams, and Iced on Aran.

Same here. No movement whatsoever.

Not 7th edition, but easily convertible.... https://www.chaosium.com/secrets-of-los-angeles-pdf/

Kinda like this? Still my favorite illustration of one of Lovecraft's ghouls. From the Dreamlands boxed set.

Thanks for the update, MOB.

With this book having been available in print at GenCon, and soon at NecronomiCon too, I'm curious to know when it will be up for sale on the Chaosium web site and when purchasers of the PDF will get their discount code? I'm really itchin' to get my hands on this one....

Back in the mid-1990s, West End Games, as part of their Masterbook generic roleplaying system published a boxed set and a handful of supplements based on Brian Lumley's Necroscope series.

Henry Huntington purchased a copy of the Gutenberg bible on vellum (of which only a dozen or so copies exist) in 1911 for the then record price of $50,000. At that same auction, a copy of Caxton's edition of Mallory's Morte d' Arthur sold for $42,800. But those were purchases by wealthy collectors intent on building world-class collections. From my limited knowledge of such sales, rare book and manuscript prices could vary wildly based on many factors: provenance, relative scarcity of copies, condition, binding, whether sold by lot or en bloc, etc. Sometimes a real bargain could be found for only a few hundred dollars (if you were a shrewd and knowledgeable collector/buyer), but more often than not prices would be in the thousands. I don't think $3,500 for a copy of the Pnakotic Manuscripts is at all unreasonable.

I've been an HPLHS member for a few years (and upgraded from an annual to a lifetime membership a year or two after joining up). I've not once regretted the cost either to join or upgrade. I initially did so to show my support for Sean and Andrew and all the work they do to produce and distribute their myriad props, radio dramas, t-shirts, books, and other Lovecraftian goodies (many of which I've purchased over the years). Since the opening of HPLHS HQ in Glendale, California, last year, I've had the great pleasure of visiting on numerous occasions (I live only a half hour away) and, having gotten to know the guys a little, am even more proud to be a member. Not only do they work really hard to produce quality merchandise for Lovecraft fans worldwide, they're just all-around nice people who really enjoy what they do.

It is most definitely for the new version of Masks. I picked up my set from the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society's HQ on Tuesday, and it is pretty amazing. All the props and maps from Chaosium's new edition of Masks and then some, all produced as period-authentic and period-accurate as possible. Highly recommended if you plan to run Masks 5th Edition or even if you just enjoy really well-made props for Call of Cthulhu.
