darklament Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Get it. NOW. Don't ask, just do it. It is so good. I was busting some heads about it being so late & for that I am sorry. It is so worth the long wait. I will be getting a hardbound copy ASAP. After so many years of different RPGs doing Pulp, this does it right on some many levels. Art, character options, play style, etc. Congrats to all involved -Jefferson Edited July 1, 2016 by darklament 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah it's the best pulp I have seen, because it is essentially a set of tool kit options that you can fiddle with to adjust to the level of pulp you want. Often I find pulp era games a little too pulpy, so I like that these options can do low pulp rather well, right up to wildly pulp flavour. Yes it's great, I am really hanging out for the hardcover printed edition Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

DreadDomain Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 My first impression is very positive. I generally like CoC7 even if it is lighter than what I usually like but I think the level of crunch is adequate for the style of play. I simply can't get used to the % characteristics. I just don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nclarke Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 You know what DreadDomain just divide the characteristics by 5 and then I'm sure you'll be happy. Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I don't like the Characteristics being different from the earlier editions stat blocks solely because of minor inconsistency issues with the back catalogue. However it's no big deal in actual game play, and it does add some internal consistency to how things are recorded on the character sheet.

The rules in Pulp Cthulhu only make the characters a bit more powerful, so there should be no general compatibility problems. 1 Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Even when mechanics changed between edition, having the GUI mostly the same really does help backward compatibility. In actual play, no issue at all, only an aesthetics preference I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
