This may be heretical, but I'd go for the standard cover in both instances. The art is so nice!

As a Cornish person I must disagree. Our martial arts involve wrestling giants and ambushes out of hidden fogous.

How do your Cornish fighting arts stack up against LLAP-Goch?

I've never seen or read any Stephen King, but what you just said makes me want to:)

The most Lovecraftian thing he's written IMHO is The Mist. The movie is good too.

Welcome to the greatest horror RPG, and my personal favorite! 

Thank you! Though strictly speaking I'm getting back to it. I own the 4th edition (it's in a box somewhere...), and got a chance to play briefly about 30 years ago.  For all I remember about it, I might as well be a total newbie!

My grandfather introduced me to Lovecraft's work almost 40 years ago. He read some of the later stories as they came out in Weird Tales, and owned a number of Arkham House books before I was born. He was always into the coolest stuff! I have him to thank for my taste in books.

I haven't picked up the Keeper's Rulebook yet (still going through the Starter set), but does the preview available on DriveThruRPG reflect the latest rules version?  If so, I found an erratum:

Page 16, right column: In the last (Garrie) Keeper paragraph, it says "...the windows are barred with iron gratings...".  This is correct.  But in the last paragraph, it says "Do the grills on the windows unlock and swing back?" This should probably also be gratings.  If not, it should be spelled "grilles".

If I order the books directly from Chaosium, will I be getting the latest printing?

Miss Fisher's Mythos Mysteries?

Sorry, couldn't resist.  Love your work, by the way!

There goes my money again. Another weekend of leftovers of leftovers and some corn from the can - still: I will be a happy camper (no - not living in a tent because of roleplaying-overspending - YET!).

 

And lucky, lucky me that I generally don't like solo scenarios, so I automatically save vs Spending in regards to "Alone against the Frost". 😉

Here's a budget dining suggestion from HPL himself:

"Incidentally—not many doors away, on the other side of Willoughby St., I found a restaurant which specialises in home-baked beans. It was closed on Sunday, but I shall try it some time soon. Beans, fifteen cents, with pork, twenty cents. With Frankfort sausages, twenty-five cents. Yes—here is a place which will repay investigation!” (to Mrs. F.C. Clark, 20 May 1925)

Shoggoth beach party?

Yes, such a resource for KAP is on our list. The Scriptorium is a good name.

I look forward to it! The more material available, the better.  I'll bet the KAP community can produce some amazing stuff.

Will KAP be getting a community content resource like the just-announced Jonstown Compendium for Runequest?  I'd love to see fan-published adventures and play aids for the game.  What would be a good name for it? The Scriptorium, perhaps?

If one exists already that I missed, please point it out so I can hang my head in shame... 😄

Next Pendragon with a cover like that please!!

Seconded! That cover looks like a lost N.C. Wyeth painting.  I'm so glad you can get it from the RedBubble store now.

I had pre-ordered the 2e collector's edition. Sadly, I don't have the 1e books, and they're out of print now so I can't use my C7 store credit to pick them up either. I have the 1e pdf's, but that's just not the same. The main reason I was getting the 2e book was to have a physical book. Sigh.

I collected the physical books over the last two years.  I feel lucky to have done so now.

Cubicle 7 is ceasing publication of The One Ring. From Cubicle 7 Games: UNEXPECTED TOR2 UPDATE

This is a real shame.  TOR has a number of Pendragon-inspired game mechanics, and is one of my favourite games. A second edition was forthcoming, and looked great from the previews.  At least I have all the first ed stuff to enjoy...

I like The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England by the historian Ian Mortimer. It's a social history of England in the fourteenth century.  Very well-written and accessible.  With all the glorious medieval anachronisms in Arthur as presented in the game, I'd say it's relevant.

I would be interested in helping out with the project.  I like the kind of detail-orientated work that seems to be involved. DM me if you want assistance.

Good news all around!  I'm glad that the backers got a concrete update.  And it sounds like the rest of us will be able to buy the books someday.

Wise old Sir Gregor de Stafford belongs in all Pendragon campaigns played from this day forward.

Thanks for catching those typos, @Dagonet! We'll make corrections straight away. I should also take the opportunity to thank @Stoo for generously providing some of his heraldry designs for the scenario pre-gens.

Glad to assist!  As I said, the scenario is excellent and the design of the document is beautiful.  I love medieval illuminations.

Page 13, left column, 1st paragraph under The Terrible Feast: "If Pig Boy is captured the knights are still present...".  Looks like it should read "If Pig Boy is captured and the knights are still present..."

I've gone through the whole adventure now.  That's all I was able to spot.

On page 10, there is a layout note at the end of the red text: "(Note that I pulled this from the main body text.)"  The full block of red text is still in the main body, appearing as the third paragraph in the right column.

Page 9, right column, third paragraph (under Pursue the King) : "Once inside the keep, should the knights reach it, arethey find the king...".  Should just be they.

Page 9, right column, second paragraph (under the heading Remain) : "After the time required to armor up, more knights the kingwill appears, including the king (if still alive)...". Looks like it should say "After the time required to armor up, more knights appear, including the king (if still alive)..."

Page 7, last paragraph in the left column: "...double that number ofthirty warriors in the castle...".  Given the context, I assume that should be of without the thirty.

I'm reading the adventure now.  It's excellent, of course, and I'm loving the layout and design.

I do want to report a typo.  Page 2, paragraph 3: "Sir Gregor then urges the knights to sear to the Quest."  Should be swear, I assume.

If I find any others I'll post them here.
