theWoozle Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Picked-up my Keeper's copy of DERELICT. GREAT One-shot. Perfect for a two-hour time-slot. Oddly though, no pregen characters included. Is there a good source for half-a-dozen modern pregens? edit: found the GM resources page, with some pregens: http://www.chaosium.com/gm-resources/ Edited June 12, 2016 by theWoozle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronn1 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Grabbed mine today to prepare to run it on Saturday and it looks like it will be a load of fun! Can't wait! Nice work Sandy and Chaosium crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Due to a strange temporal distortion, it's already Free RPG Day here on the other side of the world and I went down to my local FLGS to see what was happening - plenty of Call of Cthulhu action going on...

trystero Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I got a copy of The Derelict on my second try this morning; there didn't seem to be a lot of copies of it in the Boston area, at least. The first store I went to, Pandemonium Books and Games in Cambridge, opened at 10:00 AM, but when I got there at 9:55 AM the door was already open and a queue of six or so customers had formed at the counter. Pandemonium only received two copies of The Derelict in their Free RPG Day shipment, and both were snagged by people ahead of me (the second one by the person right in front of me, damnit). I made good time across the river to Allston (Boston), and arrived at The Compleat Strategist on Commonwealth Avenue just a few minutes before it opened at 10:30 AM. They only received a single copy of The Derelict, and there was one gentleman ahead of me in the queue... but thankfully, he wasn't a horror fan, so I was able to snag it for myself (and then do some shopping for Osprey books while I was there). It's my first time going to a store for Free RPG Day, so I'm not sure whether this is usual or not; I'd (possibly naïvely) expected there to be a larger number of copies of the free releases to allow for people coming into the store all day, but that didn't seem to be the case for many items (not just The Derelict).

Bronn1 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I was a little surprised there wasn't more copies, but it does cost the company money to get that printed and be a part of it. Given the financial situation after the Kickstarter, I probably shouldn't be surprised. However, since I volunteered to run it, I didn't have to worry about getting my copy. Glad you found one! Its a fun scenario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 While we are very happy that we could provide some copies of the Derelict for free RPG day, Chaosium is on a tight budget. We don't have thousands of dollars to spend on this, even though we know thousands of people would like a free printed copy. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.
