  1. While it hasn't been published yet, in one of the DDT adventure collections I put together many moons past, there is a sample setting of a fictional cowtown in Kansas; this is another mini-sandbox setting a la San Rafael and Pawheton in the DDT sourcebook, complete with NPCs, locations, secrets, sinister seeds, and so forth. One of the sinister seeds included (which I cheekily titled "Not in Kansas Anymore") involves a sorcerer from the Dreamlands whisking the PCs to Dreamland, setting up a sort of weird western fantasy campaign. Given Chaosium's chock-full release schedule, who knows when it will appear. This sinister seedling was inspired by a series of Wild West Oz miniatures produced by Reaper miniatures. These figs also feature some steampunk elements, including partly-mechanical flying monkeys. And a gun-wielding Dorothy, of course.
  2. Yeah, this would be my take as well. I hope the OP will let us know how Waves Stained Crimson goes, for, well, reasons.
  3. You might also check out Quentin Bauer's latest Raiders of R'lyeh supplement, From the Tideless Sea, currently with a day and half left on Kickstarter. A Lovecraftian/Hodgson-esque supplement dealing specifically with tramp steamers in the early 1900s. Preview doc has a very simplified side-view, but the complete book should have other plans. Might be worth checking out and/or contacting him for ideas.
  4. I Am Legend was written by Richard Matheson, not Robert McCammon.
  5. This looks like a ton of fun. How about a GM Screen pack similar to the RQG one, with detachable air- and sailing ship plans, NPCs, maps, adventures, and other useful utilities?
  6. I dunno. Any publishers out there interested in having a look? If so, drop me a PM. (I assume my Xyserdon is the one Nick's talking about, anyway.)
  7. Your assessment of the original Shadows is pretty much spot-on: it IS rougher, with super-short scenarios compared to modern ones (fewer than 10 pages as opposed to 20 or more for new ones). It's also a hideously difficult mother too, with scenes in virtually every scenario that could lead to TPKs, monsters that can't be harmed by weapons, and incredibly powerful sorcerers, to say nothing of the effing murder-chapter. Still, there are lots of good scenes and characters and so forth, so it's worth revisiting just to see how the very first CoC supplement looked way way way back when. The original SOYS, BTW, is only about 80 pages, not 180. Like I said, they wrote 'em SHORT back then. And there is indeed an updated/revised/expanded version of Shadows in the works, so the Classic reprint won't be an exact duplication by any means .
  8. Nice. Brings back a lot of memories, there. Still have all of my copies of these, though much abused in the past few decades.
  9. My unpublished Xyserdon sword and sorcery setting for MW had rules for spell-casting that included chance of success, calamities that occurred on fumbled rolls, and physical and mental corruption when using particularly "evil" or "inhuman" or "sadistic/cruel" spells.
  10. I don't know if OLOS ever received an "official" PDF release other than as a possible stretch goal reward as part of the Punktown Kickstarter project. No, wait, it might have also been released as part of one of the Humble Bundles several years back. Other than those two possibilities, I don't think it was ever available electronically (that I know of, anyway).
  11. If you're in the US, I can put you in touch with a local game/comic shop that has the London box AND Curse of Nineveh, both brand new in shrink.
  12. DDT was always intended to be usable as a non-supernatural "straight" western if you wanted to downplay or ignore the weird western elements.
  13. I wholeheartedly share your enthusiasm for further DDT supplements.
  14. If that version has 48 pages, I've bought a couple copies from Amazon over the years. Dunno if it's legit, but it's still available from them ($11.95).
  15. Wow. Everything looks so... PRISTINE. All of mine show every bit of their age.
