TwiceBorn Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I had no idea this was in the pipeline... but I'm really looking forward to its release! https://store.401games.ca/collections/rpg-pre-orders-1/products/call-of-cthulhu-nameless-horrors-pre-order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yes, the book is on its way to our warehouses, and will be for sale soon. Unfortunately, it will be quite some time before that book will be available in Canada. As always, I strongly advise caution when it comes to pre-ordering any of our books from an online store. There is no guarantee when they will actually get the book to sell, and it is very possible, and in some cases very likely, that it will be available for purchase from other stores (especially chaosium.com) at an earlier time. 2 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

TwiceBorn Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Distributor's webpage suggests it will be released in Canada on March 15, 2023, which I don't consider a long wait at all. And even if the release date ends up delayed by several months, I'm in no hurry. I understand that buying directly from Chaosium is better for the publisher, but I think it just as important to support Canadian retailers (401 Games is an independent retailer with 2 brick and mortar storefronts/play areas) in these tough times... and as I've been unemployed for a long while, paying extra for shipping from the US is not a luxury I can afford (I don't know if Chaosium ships to Canada via FedEx, but I've been less than thrilled with the "brokerage fees" the latter charge in addition to shipping). It's a wonder I can still buy RPG products at all. Edited January 11, 2023 by TwiceBorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam E. Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Outstanding. I love me a nice hardcover! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stadi Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 What are the changes? Only new layout / art, or have the scenarios been updated / enhanced? Also, when will the PDFs be available? At the same time as the print book, or before that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiceBorn Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) The product blurb says: "This new edition of Nameless Horrors contains brand new art, player handouts, and maps for each of its six stand alone adventures." Doesn't look like there are further enhancements to the scenarios, but that's up to the higher powers to confirm. I'm just happy that it's getting the full colour hardcover treatment, as I never got a chance to pick up the original B+W softcover (and thought secondary market and even POD + shipping prices were out of reach, given my current circumstances).

Mike M Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hi, the text has had a light edit and some author corrections/updates made - Mainly, this edition is all new art and maps, coming with new layout in hardback form. PDF will be released with the print edition. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadDomain Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I kid you not, just a few days before the OP, I had Nameless Horrors in my hand in a FLGS, ready to buy it. I've put it back on the shelf thinking "if I buy this, Chasoium will announce it will update it to the current excellent, full color, hardcover glory". Prophetic! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
