Also, Edge just published Arkham Horror, a d6 dice pool Cthulhu game. I bought the starter box a few weeks ago, but have not played it yet.

Yes but, correct me if I'm wrong, all of Fantasy Flight's RPG products are now under Edge Studio so it is one or two subsidiaries down from Asmodee itself.

Yeah, but the world has several Lovecraftian games. Tough market, there.

But, it does suggest - Asmodee probably has some interest in building RPGs of its more traditional games (Arkham Horror has been a campaign card game for a while now).

I wonder if people will speculate that Chaosim will soon be going under now that Mearls is gone? Will Mike make a post about how COC is no longer cool?
