  • RPG Biography
    I have been playing RPGs for 30 years, starting out with the D&D Basic Set (red box). These days, I seem to collect RPGs more than I play them!
  • Current games
    Currently GMing one Pathfinder campaign, and playing in another. So many other games I would like to play: Call of Cthulhu, the various WarHammer 40K RPGs by FFG, the Star Wars RPGs by FFG, The One Ring/Adventures in Middle Earth, Symbaroum, Mutant Year Zero, Ten Candles, Yggdrasil, Shadows of Esteren, etc.

  1. Thanks @Nick Brooke! I feel stupid now for not thinking to look there first. Never thought of DriveThru RPG as anything other than a place to purchase RPG products, but thrilled to learn that Chaosium non-RPG fiction is also available there via POD. Cheers!
  2. Subject line says it all... just wondering if Chaosium has plans to reprint its mythos cycle anthologies (e.g., The Innsmouth Cycle, The Hastur Cycle, etc.)?
  3. You probably WILL NOT want to watch this, since you intend to play it... 😁
  4. Oops... sorry for the dumb question, and thanks for pointing out what somehow escaped me upon first reading. I obviously rolled a critical fail on my Spot (not so) Hidden check.
  5. Are there plans to release hardcopies into retail?
  6. Now that's a review! Told me everything I needed to know (except for page count*) in a well-written and most engaging manner. Thank you! Looking at the images of the two main characters, I can't help but wonder... human artist only, or AI (might just be the image resolution and my new glasses playing tricks on me)? No offence intended if the former is the case. Regardless, your review has sky-rocketed this scenario from a "probably will buy" to a "definitely will buy" (I own all the other "Alone Against" 7E scenarios, but have only played "Flames" and "Dark" thus far). EDIT: * Found that info on the Drive-Thru RPG website - 104 pages (guessing that includes the covers).
  7. The more rules there are, the more likely you are to forget some along the way. Happens to me all the time. Just out of curiosity... have you ever been a Keeper/GM, @Pao?
  8. Neat idea. I'm sure someone who is better read (and more experienced) than I where running scenarios is concerned will eventually chime in (sadly, I have only ever played CoC solo).
  9. I like their earlier albums, but their new ones not so much. In my opinion, Master of Puppets is their very best (and The Thing That Should Not Be is on that album). While you're at it, give the following track - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - a listen, too. There might be a theme running between those songs. 😉
  10. "The Thing That Should Not Be," by Metallica. Messenger of fear in sight Dark deception kills the light Hybrid children watch the sea Pray for father, roaming free Fearless wretch, insanity He watches, lurking beneath the sea Great Old One, forbidden site He searches, hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell Crawling Chaos, underground Cult has summoned, twisted sound Out from ruins once possessed Fallen city, living death Fearless wretch, insanity He watches, lurking beneath the sea Timeless sleep has been upset He awakens, hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell In madness you dwell Not dead which eternal lie Stranger eons death may die Drain you of your sanity Face the thing that should not be! Fearless wretch, insanity He watches, lurking beneath the sea Great Old One, forbidden site He searches, hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell
  11. Anticipated release is 2025. I look forward to learning more about it, and I'm happy that it will be published by Chaosium. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/394897/horror-orient-express-board-game
  12. Will most definitely buy this. Solo is the only way I get to play CoC... hopefully, that will change someday. But in the meantime, I'm grateful for the solo scenarios that are available.
  13. I'm not familiar with the scenario, but others seem to agree with you: I haven't watched this actual play stream, but maybe you'll find salvageable ideas here?
  14. The product blurb says: "This new edition of Nameless Horrors contains brand new art, player handouts, and maps for each of its six stand alone adventures." Doesn't look like there are further enhancements to the scenarios, but that's up to the higher powers to confirm. I'm just happy that it's getting the full colour hardcover treatment, as I never got a chance to pick up the original B+W softcover (and thought secondary market and even POD + shipping prices were out of reach, given my current circumstances).
