A group of scientists arrive early at the arctic research station to which they are assigned when communication with the current crew on assignment had been lost. They arrive to discover that things have gone quite wrong...

Je suis un peu perplexe devant la news de #Chaosium sur une nouvelle version de #RuneQuest. Je perçois l'intention (amener du sang neuf dans le public des joueurs de RQ), mais j'ai du mal à concilier ça avec une n-ième version du BRPG, surtout à côté de l'excellent RQG. Un jeu d'initiation, plus détaillé que la boite d'initiation déjà parue, mais allégé par rapport à RQG ? Un peu comme les boites Elfes / Nains de Chroniques Oubliées ?

In our CoC campaign, we have kept just one vial of a sinister substance. My character is a professional tattoo artist who is trying to monetize the sanity risks the group is taking. I've been tracing every image or symbol we find, secretly, before the group destroys the books we found them in. Some of the iconography is sneaking into my tattooing, perhaps unconsciously, but with at least a bit of intention.

Will I add the substance to tattoo ink?

Finally sat down with the #Questworlds PDF and quite liked it. Was trying to go ahead and force myself to do so soonish. AS print on demand prices are about to jump up in price next month. AND I might want it in print.

Ive been curious about the system FOREVER. But found the SRD very difficult to grok while it was in open-development.

Kørte et "Call of Cthulhu" mini/demoscenarie på Hanstholm fyr i går - som en del af mit arbejde på biblioteket (!)

Vi gjorde os mange gode erfaringer i forhold til at bruge TTRPGs i biblioteksformidlingen, så det håber jeg vi kommer til at lave mere af.

Hvis du kunne tænke dig et fedt begynder-GM venligt scenarie, at springe ud i, så er chaosium.com/content/FreePDFs/ et alletiders sted at tage fat.

Hele holdet af spillere overlevede oven i købet!

We've just added the first woman player to our Call of Cthulhu game. Nothing quite like a group of investigators who think they're heroes, that they're bad asses, all with a new player on hand to see our folly. I told her to stay in the car, but you know that just made her want to see all the more. You poor sweet summer child!

QuestWorlds, the revised and renamed RPG formerly known as HeroQuest, is out in PDF at Chaosium.com and DriveThruRPG. I enjoyed HeroQuest quite a bit, for something being touted as a rules light system the new version seems a bit chunky at 340 pages.

No word on when or whether it will see print, but a book that size is likely to be fairly expensive, in contrast to the relatively slim and reasonably priced previous edition. I mean, they're asking $20 just for a PDF.

I was initially keen to get the new edition, but Chaosium has delayed this for so long and made it such an obviously low priority that much of that enthusiasm has faded. Once they resurrected RuneQuest it seemed like they tossed HeroQuest aside.

Ah well, given that Ian Cooper has done the development I expect that it's a solid product. Maybe I'll pick it up one day.
