Worth it. Just avoid reading it at night; the art will mess with your sanity!

That's one surprising thing about this book that it doesn't provide much lore about the cats except for what's in the Warlock subclass. There's also no mention of the Dreamlands, even though it features extensively in Lovecraft's stories and Chaosium CoC

Well, he did use the cat's name in one of his stories in reference to his own cat, though some of his letters imply he might or might not be the one to have given that name to the cat originally.

This is a reference to the Dreamlands cats from the Mythos, which were inspired by Lovecraft's own cat and the sense of security it gave him (we don't talk about the cat's name). The cats of Earth are are a collective intelligence within the Dreamlands, and they have an adversarial relationship...

Regarding this supplement: since it's digital only, I would've given it 1-2 more weeks to proof-read for errors; there's a whole thread on DDB for all the grammar issues among other errors.

From what I've read, some orders were fulfilled while others weren't. Cthulhu Wars went back to Petersen Games, but the Mythos RPG books did not, so Quimbley retains the sales rights. That's probably why those books got scrubbed from Sandy's website.

That partnership looks to have ended early this year according to a message and an email that went out to backers of their current products. Quimbley apparently still owns their Mythos RPG books property and plan to continue sales, but with their shopify website closed up, the books are...

Huh. I was not able to access the website from my pc. Wonder why Edit: I believe Quimbly still has the publishing rights from the previous deal they made with Petersen games based on a blog by Sandy

OMG their website is truly gone. Glad I got a copy of the PDF backed up in Google Drive, but shame I didn't get any of the Mythos Sagas (Ghoul Island looked interesting)

I bought it, and from what I've read, it's designed more in line with CoC adventures in mind: short campaigns revolving around investigations and cults with players not knowing anything. Sandy's book goes more in depth, making it better for longer campaigns that go heavily into the lore

I was doing some comparisons yesterday between them. GOOs in Sandy's are treated more like a hostile environment using a 4 phase mechanic called Elder Influence, where each stage brings certain effects on players and surrounding environments. Each stage has mechanics for escalation to next stage...

So far, this book is vastly different from Sandy Petersen's version and more in line with the latest edition of CoC, though there's bound to be some similarities since they pull from the Mythos. The artwork on this book though is very toned down and more for mainstream appeal compared to...

Just swiped. I love Sandy Petersen Cthulhu Mythos, so more Cthulhu is always welcome. Here's hoping it does well so we can have more. Now let's see what I can incorporate in my current campaign...

Green: Barely to no changes Yellow: like but needs changes Red: No go

I've see Neither Tales of the Valiant or Daggerheart will replace D&D because they don't have the same appeal. MCDM's system might pull more people, but ultimately it will also be a niche since it's more crunchy. 5E is popular because is simple yet somewhat crunchy, which is easier to pick up...

A 70% solution now is better than a Perfect solution late. If you know you know...

THIS TBH!

Of course they will try. I, for one, am ok with Psion being a spellcasting class--no need to reinvent the wheel. The Mystic partially failed because it tried to brute-force features that were re-skinned spells, and many didn't like that. Sidenote: With Warlocks also able to cast Telekinetic...

It was mentioned before, but Crooked Moon comes to DDB on 17 June. Based on the Edge of Midnight campaign from Avantris and using 2024 rules.
