Re: MUP 089 - Those Beginner Keeper Jitters
There is one, possibly contentious, piece of advice I'd like to offer regarding running a Lovecraftian game for the first time. I'd suggest looking for a fairly linear adventure to cut your teeth on. The reason for this is two-fold; it allows you to more easily absorb the general plot structure and ...

Re: Forgotten Realms + Cthulhu Mythos = Win?
Once again, thanks for all of the suggestions on this one. I ran the resulting scenario twice, along with "Cold Dead Hand" and a homebrewed Cthulhu Dark scenario (for SEVEN players). I guess I did an alright job, as I was voted GM of the year for the con and scored a few CoC books that were a welcom...

Re: Petersen Field Guide Update
Between "Horror on the Orient Express" and the 7th Edition Kickstarter, Chaosium accrued approximately $769,640. The fact that they state there was $10,000 in the Chaosium coffers at the time of acquisition raises some serious questions about exactly where the remaining $750,000 went... I double-che...

Re: Delta Green Kickstarter Survey
Again, this one is incredibly tempting, even at the PDF level...however, when I see how often I get to play these days I glance at my shelf I wonder if I really need more books that don't get to the table. I'll probably jump in towards the end, just to have some awesome reading material and gaming p...

Re: Cthulhu Dark Modifications
Nice! I run Cthulu Dark quite often, and have used a modified health system for conflict between human characters (either PCs or NPCs), as well as natural mishaps. I often have PvP elements in my games and this has proven quite helpful. I have player use a health die (or just write it down), which s...

Re: MUP 088 - Live, from Providence, it's MUP!
Very eloquent and informative post, Eibon! I think an important distinction needs to be made in the words Dr. Price chose to use in his speech. He specifically refers to the threat the jihadism poses to western rational society. He doesn't say "Islamism," he is referring specifically to an extremist...

Re: Tales of the Caribbean Kickstarter
The shipping costs to Canada are putting me off, as much as I would like to patronize this project. Yikes...based on the pledge descriptions it looked like shipping was included. For the smallest physical pledge, with the dollar as it is, it works out to $80 :? Also, there's no POD option for Canad...

Tales of the Caribbean Kickstarter
It's live now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/golden-goblin-press/tales-of-the-caribbean Despite the terrible state of the Canadian dollar, this is a must purchase for me. They've got scenarios set in both of my parents' homelands, Jamaica and the teeny tiny St. Vincent (I might even try to ge...
