Gouyoku Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Really evocative box art! Do you plan on offering a discount to people who have already purchased the current version? 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stadi Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 My biggest issue with the Starter Set is that it includes saddle-stitched booklets, which are really flimsy. I would be willing to pay more for "real" soft-cover books inside. Any chance for such an upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might cave and buy another starter set... Edited January 11, 2022 by DreadDomain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Here's a better look at the new box art by Lin Hsiang... we hope to have the 40th anniversary reprint out by late March - early April.(Due to a surge in demand for Call of Cthulhu we're sold out of the current version of the Starter Set in the US and UK) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadDomain Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 This cover is gorgeous! I will buy this box if only for the cover. It's probably an unreasonable suggestion that comes too late but I was wondering if having a different solo scenario had been considered? It would give even more incentive to owner of the previous box to buy it again. Pretty sure at this stage, it's even impossible to consider...

TwiceBorn Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I would have much preferred to have a starter set with this cover art, as I really didn't like the original cover art. But alas, I don't think I'm willing to buy the same product twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely going to be the same content and it was always the intent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done so because we are currently sold out of the Starter Set in the USA, and we decided while we were at it to feature a new cover marking the game's 40th anniversary. If you already own the Starter Set you don't need to buy it again (unless you really like the new cover). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the new cover plus the slightly thicker covers are enough for me to buy it again. I may simply donate my current starter set to a gaming club or a library. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Meints Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The printer just let us know there has been a shipping delay that means this won't probably be for sale until May. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
