Call of Cthulhu Turns Forty - Chaosium KickStarts a New Printing of the Game's Classic Boxed Sets.

[ProfessorDetective]

As CoC nears its Ruby anniversary: Chaosium has started a new campaign to see the classic 2E boxed sets reprinted with new, unreleased, content and one final pass on the proofreading and formatting.

This is the newest Stretch Goal, announced earlier today when we passed the $200K Stretch Goal (dice). Currently at just over $250K, so half-way there...

$300,000 Stretch Goal - HANDOUTS UPGRADE!

Back in the day, the handouts in the early supplements left a fair bit to be desired. As just text on the pages in the middle of the book, you could pull them out and cut them apart (shudder). Most Keepers and players have grown used to something better than that, so here's what we can do when this stretch goal gets funded. We'll include all of the handouts in an upgraded format and collect them together as single sided pages. Printing extra copies from the PDFs won't stress you out, and little to no cutting will be part of the ritual.

Why is it that despite owning originals of all the stuff that’s on offer I’m still drawn to back it?

It does make one reflect on how little it has changed over 40 years and 7 editions compared to say D&D or even Runequest.

Having passed $300,000 in our Call of Cthulhu Classic Kickstarter it's on to the next Stretch Goal:

$350,000 Stretch Goal - Arkham Poster Map​

Those character and monster silhouettes, not to mention any miniatures you may already own, deserve a big enough Arkham map to walk (and stomp) around on. Thus, if this stretch goal gets funded we will add a free printed color poster map of Arkham into each boxed set.

All $20 backer levels and higher will get a free PDF of this map!

What I would like to see is Thieves' World boxed set sold again, that was great.

Mildly amusing that all of that cast are major characters in LA by Night but only B. Dave got it as a credit

BTW, RuneQuest fans, did you know this map has a Glorantha easter egg?
