I hoped for something bigger... The future generations will never get it this way

So far I have been running published adventures and I use the suggested locations. Never had the need to change the location as the books provide already enough information to run this game. Even if I don't have, I find it using the power of internet.

But you are right - because of the high levels of exposure of almost all USA layers in movies, books and etc, it is much easy to jump into a game based in USA and make it feel right. If the players are americans, then it is more tricky, the GM must have good education and understanding of the fine differences, which is sometimes impossible if you are not local or native, but for the purpose of our games - should be OK.

This is awesome idea... :)

When I was preparing to run my first CoC game, I watched your play on the "The Haunting" to see how other people run it. Your one was one of the good and I actually borrowed your german doctor for the sanitarium and used him to later introduce an investigator organization to the players.

You should put more Cthulhu stuff and drop this D&D

I have the book and plan to convert “The Haunting” into Wild West style of adventure. 

During a chase your speed might be adjusted after s CON roll. I think those are to record your current speed. We don’t use it though, the temporary values we record on scratch paper. 

Great cover!

I see there is new category in the supplement section for music and sounds: Link I am using various sources for ambient music, sounds and effects and this new additions looks interesting.

Are there samples I can listen to before purchase?

Yes, in the Keeper Rulebook there are a lot of additional rules for combat and optional rules. Quite rich for narrative system.

That is correct. Characters can attempt to dodge and fight back subsequent attacks after their initial reaction, but the opponents will have bonus die to their rolls.

Also don't forget the important rule when it comes to characters or enemies with multiple attacks:

Quote

"Characters and monsters that have more than one attack per round may also dodge or fight back that number of times before the bonus die is applied."

If Chaosium plan update on PDFs, the most beneficial one will be to allow background layer to be hidden for toner-saving printing. Currently it is single layer for everything (at least for the PDFs I own), which is not very useful.

I often print adventures as PDFs are far from the convenience of printed material.

Depending how their InDesign master files are set, it might be easy or not that easy to put the new style into use.

But even if it was something possible - why? : ) I find the Investigator Handbook and Keeper Rulebook designs superior to the new one, because they are unique. It would have been awesome if each supplement had its own special style, but this has extra costs. Also we should not forget the fact that those books are offered as hardcovers, which has another set of complications

I see what you mean. The supplements have indeed similar style, but as far as the two core books are concerned - that’s the idea IMHO. I love how the books differ and convey different feelings when you open them.

What new design?

After I completed the Mountain of Madness story, I am anxious to run my players through this campaign. I love the snow settings and the forgotten and distant horrors that the group will experience. I heard this campaign, along with the masks is quite daunting for the Keeper and I plan to print the PDF out to be able to write and mark things down.

No less than a crit indeed

I don't argue about the benefits of ordering from Chaosium. This is how I got the core books slipcase and i plan to purchase all in this way... except when sometimes the price is too good from Amazon to skip it. Shipping costs are plague Some publishers such as Modiphius offer you free PDF is you show the invoice of the hardback, quite awesome.

Anyway, I am unable to fins the new slipcase on amazon.co.uk even when I use UK address. Everything listed in the old version. Quite weird.

I am playing Call of Cthulhu exclusively on Fantasy Grounds. What kind of games you plan - short or long runs, published or homebrew? I probably will have time starting from January.

Yes, because of the hearing aids that modern-timers can use

Will this product be available on Amazon.co.uk?

Oh my... this product is gorgeous...

Looks fantastic!

Backburnered?

Does the slipcase set come with the reprints and corrections, or is it better to buy new books individually?

I am interested in the answer to this question as well - I just ordered one.
