    Miskatonic Repository Con (Oct 15-17 2021)

    in Call of Cthulhu

    Posted · Edited by klecser

    If you missed any of the panels, here you go! See yours truly in the 3rd panel, Dramatic Writing in Scenarios!

    Also, in the Dramatic Writing panel I speak about one of my NPCs that is designed around the model of maximum flexibility and complex motivations. You can read about Lo'thysss as a potential ally, enemy, or neutral NPC in the two products I've published on the Repository. Available separately, or together for a cheaper price in this bundle: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/367086/The-Lothysss-Duology-BUNDLE

    So Chaosium I asked this on Twitter but I’ll ask again here.

    What similarities/differences from the standard book can we expect with this 40th anniversary edition? 
     

    I understand there are new essays from Cthulhu contributors, and the inclusion of the Haunting adventure, but are there any layout changes, or any errata included in this new special 40th anniversary edition? 
     

     

    No. The original Keeper Rulebook is exactly as originally presented in terms of layout. The Preface was added in front. The Haunting is at the back. I think perhaps maybe errata is included? I haven’t checked. Will investigate further when I have time.

    Can the color denoting the neighborhoods be increased on the Arkham map on 56 and 315? I don't know the technical term, but they are so light I can barely tell them apart.

    I understand that a goal is to make sure that the streets and text can be visible. Yet, the colors are so light that the boxes on the key are barely distinguishable from each other. The map colors can be determined easier because they are next to each other.

    I can barely tell these colors apart. The Uptown and Lower Southside boxes look identical to me.

    The writer of Harlem Unbound makes some... pretty questionable statements about real-world politics in his book, in my opinion anyhow.

    It's pretty obvious that you're trolling. You've found two posts, in a short time, that feature Harlem Unbound.  And want to make it very clear that you don't want to deal with racism in role-playing. So don't. You don't need to telegraph that to the community.

    Many gamers want real world issues in their games. You don't get to decide what other people like. You don't get to tell other people how they should feel.

    "Flipping the script": notable critical commentary for four recent groundbreaking Call of Cthulhu titles (Unnatural Selections #49)

    "a black, indiginous, person of color"

    ...couldn't they have just said "black person" or "African-American"? I'll never understand the political correctness parade. Come to think of it, every one of these reviews seems to focus on some kind of sociopolitical angle. The last one especially doesn't seem to even talk about the game itself at all, just how "sensitive" it is in approaching various parts of its setting. It's bizarre to me, but maybe that's what "flip the script" means?

    If you don't understand the relationship between "sociopolitical angles" and narrative, I don't know what to tell you. You do you. Why are you policing other people? Literature, art, music, they have all been sociopolitical commentary. Why can't role-playing be too?

    What's truly bizarre to me is when people ignore 12,000 years of human history that supports realistic life confrontation as the source of all art.

    I'm playing these games for exactly the reasons that you find "bizarre." Is that ok with you? 🙄

    My players want to read what Lovecraft have written.

    Do you mean your players want to read Lovecraft's stories, or your players want to have their Investigators read them?  If you're concerned about the former, don't be - it'll stoke enthusiasm for the game, and it won't take any impact away from your scenarios.  If you're concerned about the latter, then Lovecraft may not even exist (his stories are canonically written by other people in the setting).

    Beat me to it. 🙂
