Campus Crier

Exclusive Golden Goblin announcement: Mark Shireman was slated to write one of the scenarios for Tales of the Caribbean, Black as Pitch at Midnight, taking place in Trinidad – with an interesting connection to India. But for personal and work-related reasons, he was forced to regretfully withdraw from that assignment. After some discussion, the GG team decided to it would be best (as far as staying on track and schedule) for Oscar Rios to write that scenario instead. Work on that is already underway. Mark is still going to handle art direction and layout duties. It’s a bump in the road but Oscar does not expect this to cause significant delays. Since the main book grew a bit due to stretch goals (2 extra scenarios), the delivery date will still be a few weeks from the original estimated release time of June this year. H.P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness is Being Adapted Into a Video Game, Utilizing UE4 Pookie reviews 7th Ed. Episode 1 of the Sentinel Hill Presscast: Brett’s first guest is Chris Huth, artist and author – he talks about his witchy scenario in the AG #3, plus history and folklore segments and little readings. Sounds good so far. Not on iTunes yet – he is waiting for 3-4 episodes to have in hand before he sets it up there.

Feedback-

We got a voicemail from our friend Brian in Massachusetts! He points out that we are obviously not as well versed in 7E as we want to be.  It turns out that The 7e Investigator’s Handbook page 101 has a box text which covers that very ground.
