Mike M Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The Gaslight books can be used to play Cthulhu by Gaslight, they use the 'core' CoC rules (per the Starter Set) along with Gaslight specific ones. The full CoC Rulebook may be used, if desired, with its range of expanded and optional rules. Thus, Gaslight can be used standalone or, likely for many, alongside the CoC Rulebook. As someone mentioned above, Gaslight provides a third way into the game, alongside the Starter Set and CoC Rulebook. And like the Starter Set, recommends getting (in time, when you feel you might to delve deeper in the wider game) the CoC Rulebook. Although, there's no reason why you can't enjoy playing Gaslight games with just the Gaslight books for as long as you desire. The aim is to continue to make the game accessible - thus, not needing to immediately purchase the CoC Rulebook to start playing. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stadi Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I was hoping that it will include the full rules and because of that we would get the new-layout version of the full rules in the form of the Gaslight book 🙂 But anyway, it absolutely makes sense this way. I still hope the Core books will get a makeover soon 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrippyHippy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Also, will the Gaslight books be produced in some sort of enhanced format - leatherette covers, slipcases, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that CERTAINLY calls for hardcovers and a slipcase, I am thinking. It's only proper. - Bill 4 Quote https://youtube.com/@billplayscthulhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest slipcase for all three books - Keeper, Player, Scenario 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmshade Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Will there be a Gaslight Keeper's Screen? I'm addicted to GM screens. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Zarnak Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I had read that Kevin Ross was working on a book of adventures for Down Darker Trails. Is there any truth to this, and how far away is it from publication? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 We have the book and it's in the production queue. Ready when it's ready. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbalage83 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I read somewhere that a few years back an Elisabethen era settingbook was in development. Does anybody know something about it? Same question about Ct Britannica. Chaosium obtained the rights but currently there is no newer info. https://www.chaosium.com/blogchaosium-acquires-cubicle-7s-cthulhu-britannica-and-world-war-cthulhu-lines/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyofMist Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I am also very interested in more news about the Arkham and Miskatonic Valley sourcebooks series, is there any updates? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EldorfDragonsbane Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Eagerly awaiting the Arkham, Dunwich, Kingsport, Innsmouth and Miskatonic Univeristy sourcebooks. I too would love to know about any possible updates for these coming out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfoxdmt73 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I was wondering if there was any word on World War Cthulhu? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 When we have something to announce, we'll let you know. Most of the books mentioned in the posts just above are in development, some will be out sooner than others. Sorry to be vague, but there's a whole heap of work that goes into a book before it comes out, with many hands involved, and we are a very small team, so it does take time to get it right. Bear with us and it won't be too long before books full of wonders and terrors are in your hands. Thanks 10 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
