Der Grund für das "Fehlen" von den klassischen CoC Abenteuern wie bspw. The Haunting, aber auch Zaubersprüchen und Monsterbeschreibungen in der 7E sind laut Aussage eines Redaktionsmitglieds (vermute ich mal) die schiere Größe des Buches. So hätte es stellenweise 650 Seiten gehabt und musste daher gekürzt werden.

Mal wieder ein wenig Informationsbrocken vom Großen Alten Chaosium.

 

Man wird ein neues BRP-Regelbuch entwickeln - soweit, so wenig cthulhoid. Darauf aufbauend soll es ein Detektiv-Setting und auch ein Update für Mythic Iceland geben. Bei dem Detektiv-Setting kommt einem vielleicht True Detectives in den Sinn, da es explizit ohne Mythos auskommen soll.

 

Mythic Iceland hat immerhin in der Beschreibung aus Cthulhu Through the Ages einige Mythos-Monster, insofern rechne ich es ein wenig zu einem cthulhoiden Setting.

 

Also alles in allem nicht viel Neues, aber möglicherweise etwas, woraus man sich bedienen könnte.

Ohne Datum oder sonstige Hinweise findet sich momentan diese Nachricht auf der Chaosium-Seite:
 

End of an era... start of a new era!
End of an era... start of a new era! As part of Chaosium's restructuring, we have made the difficult decision to close our office and warehouse in Hayward, ending the 40 year physical presence of the company in the Bay Area, California.

Chaosium has a global fan base, and the principal officers of the company are located across the globe. Our Axis Mundi is now online. And at conventions. The true spirit of Chaosium is present at your gaming table, collectively summoned by your gaming group.

The truck has been filled with artifacts from the past four decades (here's Rick loading the company cockatrice). Rick and MOB are heading out on their thousand mile journey north, via Arcata to drop in on the President Emeritus, Greg Stafford...

Sandy Petersen is bringing Cthulhu Wars back to Kickstarter! Cthulhu Wars: Onslaught Two

 

 

Es hieß ja mal "kein neuer Kickstarter bis die 7E abgewickelt worden ist" ... aber vermutlich läuft das wohl unter Sandys Regie.

 

 

Sandy, Jeff, Neil and MOB from the Chaosium team will be at the gigantic German games fair Essenspiel this weekend, Thurs 8th - Sun 11th. Come by and see us at Booth 2-D165!

 

Es soll Ausgaben vom Orient Express dort geben.

 

 

Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Update


As mentioned to the Kickstarter backers, in mid-September the files were sent to the printer (along with a rather large check to cover the printing costs). 
 
The printer is now preparing the production proofs, and recently sent us a mockup of the slipcase, which you can see below.  BTW, this is a real thing, not a 3D photo. It doesn't have the printing on it, but it does show how neatly the two books and the keeper screen pack all fit nicely in it.

 

Also immer noch nicht fertig gedruckt ... aber nahe dran.

Inzwischen hat es einen kleinen Shitstorm gegeben, was die Erfüllung des Kickstarters angeht. Mehr dazu hier und  hier. (übersetzte Version, weil ja manche mit der englischen Sprache auf Kriegsfuß stehen).
 
Rick Meints gibt auch eine Übersicht über die finanzielle Situation von Chaosium zum Zeitpunkt der Übernahme. Die sah ziemlich marode aus - ohne die Übernahme wäre Chaosium inzwischen wahrscheinlich Geschichte.

Update:

 

/edit: Ein guter Beweis dafür, dass ein Kickstarter aus dem Ruder laufen kann ... Stichwort Stretchgoals.

Plus: Chaoisum hat endlich ein offizielles Forum.

http://basicroleplaying.org/

 

CoC-Bereich: http://basicroleplaying.org/forum/7-call-of-cthulhu/

 

Chaosium's new official online forum is at basicroleplaying.org

 

BRP Central (basicroleplaying.org) is the new official online forum for Chaosium, company president Rick Meints announced today.

 

"Since day one the new Chaosium team has stated that one of our core commitments is to communicate better with our tribe: our Kickstarter backers, our creatives, our players, and our fans," said Meints. "We want to listen, get your feedback, and be a part of discussing all of our games with you, the people who make Chaosium what it is, and who want to help make it better than ever before."

 

Please note the forums at Glorantha.com will no longer remain active. Instead, BRP Central now features a dedicated Chaosium Family of Games section, with forums for Call of Cthulhu, Glorantha, RuneQuest Gateway, BRP, Magic World, and more!

Der Druckprozess hat begonnen und wird ab nächster Woche mindestens sechs Wochen dauern. Danach müssen die Sachen per Schiff von Hong Kong in die jeweiligen Verteilzentren (USA, Europa und Australien) transportiert werden. Im Anschluss dann von dort weiter in Richtung der geneigten Leserschaft.

2016 stehen somit wohl die Sterne erst richtig. Was für eine Aktion ...

Bei der Recherche für einen Artikel für Heiligabend stieß ich auf...

 

 

Ist jetzt ungefähr wie die Situation kurz vor der Bescherung, absolut ätzend und im Prinzip wissen alle, was sie bekommen, aber man muss warten.

 

Aber dennoch hat man Angst, dass die toll verpackten Geschenke, die man durchs Schlüsselloch sehen kann nur für die anderen sind und man selbst wieder nur die Rute bekommt oder ein paar Socken von Oma. ;-)

 

Jetzt weiß ich endlich, wo die ätzende "Niemand will Socken zu Weihnachten"-Kampagne von Geschenkidee ihree Idee her hatte ;)
