Awesome show...although I need to not listen when I'm driving. I about drove off the road when I heard Brian's exclusive announcement!

No kidding. It's gonna be hard waiting for that to come out.

Still about 1/2 way through the episode -- but pausing here to respectfully ask that the "Fixer" character profession writeup be submitted as a newsletter feature?

I can probably take the Fixer from the Kult RPG and rework it to fit Call of Cthulhu, if there is an interest.

Just hired one this morning!

I think it sounds very Shadowrun to hire a Fixer.

And, if I may be allowed to toot my own horn for a second, I'm also in the exclusively announced book. My scenario focuses on one of my absolute favorite forms of horror movie... Body Horror!!!
