hanszurcher Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 From the Chaosium Twitter Feed: Charlie is considering a new hardcover edition book. Email: charlie@chaosium.com to let him know what you would like to see in HC. -Dustin I suggested Call of Cthulhu. -Hans Quote I don`t play monsters.

RosenMcStern Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah, hardcover Call of Cthulhu! Leather bound, perhaps. Just do not ask about the origin of leather... Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I thought Call of Cthulhu would be available as hardcover only - or is this only the German edition ? Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open." (Charlie Chan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMiddleton Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Urm, that's a tough one actually... I mean, BRP is about to be released as hard cover, and I already have a hard cover of CoC (and I assume there are separate plans already in place to do some sort of 30th anniversary hard cover edition of CoC anyway). I'd love to see a BRP setting or major supplement in hard back but I don't think Chaosium have anything in hand or close to release that's suitable and I'd guess Charlie's thinking in terms of a reissue rather than commissioning a new piece. Sadly I don't think Chaosium have clean OCR'd files of Land of Ninja or Vikings, nor the time to edit them to bring them in line with BGB BRP, not to mention that the copyright is somewhat murky on those I'd guess. I can think of a couple of Call of Cthulhu books that would probably do well in new hard cover editions (Malleus Monstrorum, Arkham) but they don't excite me. Oh, but if we're day dreaming - Horror on the Orient Express! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The Big Book of Powers for BRP. A BRP hardcover about Austin Powers ? - Oh, behave ! Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open." (Charlie Chan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarulf Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 That book would no doubt become a gold member of the BRP family of supplements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHistorian Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Instead of worrying about a hardcover retread of the rules (I count six CoC hardcover rulebooks on my shelf already - 3, 5.1.1, 5.6, 5.6.1, 6, 20th Anniv - missing 25th Anniv) how about something really special? Maybe a translation of Les Années Folles, perhaps? Quote 44/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnick Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Something new (Chronicles book?), a big Orient Express book or, if licensing ever permitted, a collected Elric or Pendragon. But like the poster above says, it might be Chaosium's big hitter, but I have enough hardback Call Of Cthulhu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLeary Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Questworld... With Gloranthan references removed, and one continent well defined. Others left open should a third party wish to partake (Cubicle 7?). In other words, a nice world supplement that has good definition so that it can be used now, and enough flexibility that a GM or other third party can make use of the "blank spaces".

josha Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I think the new BRP hardcover should cost $60; but be leather-bound, ultra-durable, have gold-leaf pages, remastered full-color art, and a nice ribbon bookmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
