Pookie's RPG review?...—Bud of @BudsRPGreview pirates a Reviews from R’lyeh review of The Derelict: A Tale of Terror for Call of Cthulhu, the scenario by Sandy Petersen and Mike Mason for use with Call of Cthulhu, Seventh Edition, published by Chaosium, Inc. for Free RPG Day 2016. https://youtu.be/BIGAEOw2PJQ #reviewsfromrlyeh #rpgreview #rpgreviews #BudsRPGReview #PirateReview #rpg #horror #Chaosium #CallOfCthulhu #CoC7e #ModernEra #FreeRPGDay

So... I have long presumed that Cthulhu profits are the core of the Chaosium business; that -- beloved though they are -- Runequest & Glorantha (and all the other lines, including card-games, etc) are simply too small to keep Chaosium going... at least, not at the scale they are going. There is the Cult of Chaos (organized play aka "demo monkey" program), which AFAIK nominally allows RQ/HQ/Glorantha content, but ... well, there's not much THERE there, for non-CoC stuff. I understand that Chaosium INTENDS to have ths stuff in place... eventually... I recently looked at the number-of-articles in each AbChaos since nuChaosium re-started that irregularity, and simply counting titles-of-articles it's clear where Chaosium is putting (the majority of) its energy. Good lord, just look at the number of 3rd-party licensees & products for each line... it's clear where the buying public is putting (the majority of) its energy money, so I'm not criticizing Chaosium! So I'm pretty confident in my presumption. But then I noticed something here on BRPCentral... Glorantha forum - 15K posts Runequest forum - 9K posts Cthulhu forum - 4K posts And I had a hard WTF moment: why does the RQ/Glorantha community have so much more ardent activity, but so much less in inclination to buy stuff, than CoC ???

My SMG skill is 80%. I can fire 8 rounds in a volley. If I split the damage of the volley among 4 opponents all within my normal range, I have to make an additional roll every time I switch targets. Do these additional rolls incur penalty dice? Or do penalty dice accrue only when I fire multiple volleys? In addition: This costs me 11 rounds Each opponent is hit by one bullet

New CoC themed video game going to be released...

Hi all, New Keeper here playing 6th Edition CoC. Last weekend I ran The Haunting and we should complete it at the next session. Now I am looking for the next scenario to run. With that in mind can anyone recommend a short CoC or Delta Green scenario (1 to 4 five hour sessions long) that focuses on investigation rather than fighting and which isn’t a railroad? Right now I am considering “Tell me have you seen the yellow sign” but would appreciate any suggestions especially if you let me know why you like it. Extra points if the suggestion doesn’t involve a haunted house (As we just did that). Also I prefer if the scenario is focused on the 1920s or can be adapted for the 1920s. Thanks!

This looked pretty cool so i had to back it. It's called 'The Things We Leave Behind'. I liked their description, and i'll paraphrase here, modern scenarios in the vain of Delta Green and True Detective. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stephaniemcalea/the-things-we-leave-behind-for-call-of-cthulhu?ref=nav_search
