Good details on the editing for these Tomes. That is unfortunate that the books haven't been more edited to be a solid finalized version with at least the page numbers updated. Thanks for the FYIs, as I haven't bought these books so wouldn't know these details.

So much Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition this week. Dozens of adventures, roaming exploration across the Purple Planet, and PCs experiencing an awakening robot consciousness. There is also a monster book and GM screens. Finally, adventures and historical Jerusalem...

RPG Spotlight shines a light on the latest RPG releases to help GMs decide if the book will improve and enhance their campaigns. First up is the just released, Crown and Skull Volume II by Runehammer. This RPG covers dragons in depth as well as providing an excellent example of mixing sci-fi and...

This week war comes to Traveller. There are fantasy villages and Wonderland as a setting along with additional fantasy adventures and rule extras including ships. Power Rangers RPG and Transformers RPG both get supplements. Finally, there is a dice set including a stack of d6s that form a...

Some versions of Dunwich have CoC d20 stats included along with the Call of Cthulhu stats. CoC d20 uses a version of D&D 3.5 which converts easily to most editions (4E is a bit more work). You have AC, hit points, saves, and attacks with damage which work basically the same in nearly every D&D...

I'm using Amazing Adventures for the same reason. Just adding in D20 CoC to that rule set.

Glad to hear Innsmouth is on the way. I'd love to see a year of Lovecraft Country. Maybe a new settlement every other month or once a quarter with maybe a lightly connected series of adventures in each one. And maybe with a great solo adventure, a walking tour perhaps from Arkham to Kingsport...

I don't know the sanity system from UA. The sanity optional rules from the 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide are really simple and could work if you have a list of what causes a save. You'd get rid of the need for every monster to have sanity point loss and you could slowly unveil the list to the PCs...

I hope so. But it took years for just Arkham to appear. And the d20 stats are handy to have.

You'll have hits points, ascending AC, and damage for monsters and items. I have no problem adapting it to Amazing Adventures (which is d20 based as well).

Cthulhu Monster Fog - Free photo on Pixabay Our Towns A few years ago Chaosium put out a series of RPG supplements set in the haunted fictional towns of Lovecraft Country. The first three books included updated versions of H. P. Lovecraft's Arkham (PDF), H. P. Lovecraft's Dunwich (PDF), and H...

Glad to hear that. Rolling a handful of d4s might take getting used to, but I really the idea of the game and the adventure support.

Right, but I think from the quickstart that pairs or not pairs of three matter also. For my group it started to seem like a lot to do for every roll. Some of my players still have a hard time telling how many sides any dice between a d6 and a d20 have. Other's mileage may vary of course.

Have you played it? The dice mechanics hurt my head with all the countings of 3s and pairs. Just wondered how hard it would be to wrangle six players through all that.

Adventures are out for Symbaroum and Dungeons & Dragons some set in the worlds of Humblewood (sapient animals) and Astromythos (sapient celestial bodies). There is also a large supplement for The Mutant Epoch which includes support for PC ‘veggie-sapiens'. Finally, there are two RPGs (each with...

Good question. Yes, it does:

Not sure what RPGs you run, but streamlined rules like Crown and Skull that don't also require quite a bit of GM fiat are rare in my experience. It isn't rules lite, but it is heavily streamlined. The demo character was joking. He also said he brings a canoe paddle.
