ColoradoCthulhu Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 If possible, please update us on the status of the new campaign for Cthulhu by Gaslight. @Mike Mrecently mentioned on Facebook that Chaosium is getting closer to a release, but I would like to know if 'The Curse of Seven' will be published in 2021. Our gaming group is on Chapter 2 of 'The Shadows of Yog-Sothoth' campaign, and we should be done sometime around this Fall (September/October). I would like to run a Gaslight campaign next if the book is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi - before we can release the Curse of Seven, we want to release the new edition of Cthulhu by Gaslight, which is currently in writing and development. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGEmsley Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The Curse of Seven brings to mind Mark Frost's excellent Victorian occult adventure novel The List of Seven. Is there a link? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Not that I am aware of. There are similar things, as you might expect in a Gaslight story - seances, spooky things, as so on. Plus eldritch horrors a plenty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Zarnak Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well, let’s hope Gaslight is supported better this time round. Are there any books/products beyond The Curse of Seven in the works? Stygian Fox have produced some excellent books for the era, but the best sourcebook (IMO) is tantalisingly beyond reach of most new CoC gamers - Pagan Publishing’s The Golden Dawn. I wonder if something can be arranged with Pagan Publishing/Adam Scott Glancy to bring it back from the dead and updated for the new edition.. Or, perhaps, Chaosium can reach out to Kevin Ross to write a similar book on the Order. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtscott658 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I thought Hudson and Brand was the definitive work on CbG. I could be wrong, but it is very good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. Golden Dawn is where it's at, and that's why copies go for 250+ USD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsanford Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think I might to have to respectfully disagree as I have both. Golden Dawn is TRULY excellent but Hudson & Brand is at a different level in my view. I have faith that the new Cthulhu by Gaslight will be a wonder but it’s going to be very difficult to eclipse Hudson & Brand. 2 Quote Check out our homebrew rules for freeform magic in BRP -> No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun!

Spence Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hmmm.... I'll have to admit that while I have played CoC on and off since 1st edition and have only seriously returned since 7th edition and gaslight has been one of the time periods that really have my interest I have never even heard of Golden Dawn. But I have Hudson & Brand as well as several other Stygian Fox products and they are very well done. If they are the ones that are putting out the new edition of Gaslight, or their creative team are collaborating on it then I believe that it will be a great product. And prices on the collectable market do not necessarily reflect actual quality. In this case I cannot really give an opinion on GD's actual quality, but I know of many old RPG products that commanded high ($200 to $500) prices due to age, condition and rarity that were actually poor games or supplements. Once again, since I have never seen GD I can't speak to its quality, but H&B is a great product and I can speak to that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyofMist Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi, is there any news that can be shared about The curse of seven? It looks very interesting! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It's being worked on and we aim to get it out as soon as we can after the core Gaslight books come out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoCthulhu Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Checking in about Cthulhu by Gaslight, 7th edition, as we enter the New Year. There's been an eerie silence for some time now, apparently due to unreliable freelancers from what I can gather. Will we receive an announcement sometime in the next months? Or could the release date be delayed even longer than that? If there's nothing to announce, then so be it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a late 2024/early 2025 release for Gaslight as that would fit well into our gaming group's current content plans (we'd do Gaslight after finishing Regency Cthulhu). Also hoping for a Fantasy Grounds Unity version of 7th edition Gaslight around the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoCthulhu Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Pinging @Mike M about a Gaslight update now that we're near the summer of 2024, almost a half-year since I reached out about this previously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stadi Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I'm hoping it is taking this long, because there are moving Gaslight, to CoC 8 that is based on RoL 🙂 I wish that were true. I'll be happy for Gaslight even if it sticks with CoC 7 though 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy for Gaslight even if it sticks with CoC 7 though 🙂 That would irritate me rather than enthuse me in any way, frankly. We can all debate about preferred rules - and believe me that would happen with any new edition - but I’d just like to see the release (or at least announcement) of supplements that many have been waiting for a good while now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsanford Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Let me clarify something. When I say Golden Dawn is TRULY excellent and that Hudson & Brand is at a different level, I should have also said that, while they cover the same period, they are very different. And because of that I consider them both ABSOLUTE MUST HAVES for gaslight. Unfortunately Golden Dawn is painfully expensive. I think I paid $150, and it remains worth every penny in my view. Hopefully the next Hudson & Brand book will also be at the same level as its predecessor and the Golden Dawn book. 1 Quote Check out our homebrew rules for freeform magic in BRP -> No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun!

I don’t know how hard it would be to pull off as it was a Pagan book, but once the new Gaslight book comes out, Chaosium would make a lot of people very happy if they could get this book into distribution again. I’m super careful with my copy and even so, it’s showing some wear. PS - Amazon has a “very good” copy for $130. I payed $150 for a “near mint” copy in 2016, but those are likely harder and harder to find.

Chaosium would make a lot of people happy if they acquired the entire Pagan Publishing catalog, like they did Cubicle 7’s some time ago, and brought back some of that publisher’s classics. Imagine new and expanded editions of not just Golden Dawn, but also Walker in the Wastes, Grace Under Pressure, and Coming Full Circle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
