Rick Meints Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We did leatherette versions of the Masks of Nyarlathotep books too. Expect to see such leatherette book options more often. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJackBrass Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 As much as I'm tempted by deluxe editions, in this case I'll be going for the regular hardback: that cover art is too good to miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies if I unintentionally implied that. I was just trying to suss out in my brain reasons why there is "suddenly" a leatherette for a setting book. No worries, I didn't read it that way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realmprotector Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Is there a US street date for this book yet?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kong Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Berlin, 1920s = leatherette option available. Anything less would be blaspheme! 😉 But with a cover like that I will also opt for the regulat version. This here is one damn mighty fine cover all right! Or auf Deutsch ein super Titelbild!

General Kong Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 But be warned: There are some severe (in my opinion) errors in Babylon Berlin. Vulgo: The main plot with the Trotskist conspiracy does not make any sense! At the time of the movie there was no 4th International and Trotzski hasn't been ousted from the Soviet Union to Turkey. And if that were so: I have never seen a movie that gave political and moral support to the Moscow Show Trials of 1936-38! Hey, there really WAS a cosnpiracy! So, which state hasn't have the right to defend against a coup de etat/ putsch? And the main female actor, part-time secretary, part-time prostitute from the lowest rung of the working-class who finally becomes the first feamle police detective in the homicide department is ... let's say the whole thing is not very believable (na dhas almost nothing to do with the character from the books). If you want a very good alternative try "Mordkommision Berlin 1" (Homicide Department Berlin 1) - very good story, great actors, and a great view of the Ringvereine (criminal organizatons that organised along the line of legal clubs) of Berlin. Unfortunately (just checked) Amazon does not cary it - neither in the US bor in the UK. You could order it a at bargaining price at amazon. de in Germny, though - no subtitles or dubbing though. To bad - you Anglos are really missing out on that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 With this book having been available in print at GenCon, and soon at NecronomiCon too, I'm curious to know when it will be up for sale on the Chaosium web site and when purchasers of the PDF will get their discount code?

groovyclam Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 We're getting very Babylon Berlin SPOILERY here: On 7/17/2019 at 1:18 PM, Der Rote Baron said: And the main female actor, part-time secretary, part-time prostitute from the lowest rung of the working-class who finally becomes the first feamle police detective in the homicide department is ... let's say the whole thing is not very believable (na dhas almost nothing to do with the character from the books). I found the "bit" with the car and the lake far more unbelievable than what you say above. However, despite its shortcomings, I still really enjoyed it.

nclarke Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 How about a ship name that we can track MOB. I'll let the forum know when I see it sailing up the Solent to dock at Southampton so they can prep their credit cards. Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Meints Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The ship (OOCL Montreal) has already docked in the UK and moved on. We are waiting for the books to clear customs, and get delivered to the warehouse in Devon. It's an "Any day now" situation. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.
