There's also, some fans would say, a difference in tone between the two. Growling Door Games is licensed to do an update of the 2E rules, which what I've seen in the Kickstarter Quick Start rules and heard from Black Hat Matt - the licensee and one of the authors of the new edition - 3E simplifies and adds a couple of more modern mechanics (apparently you can't create a new game since 2009 without some kind of tokens players use somehow.) It looks good so far, though, and the production values on even just the somewhat-in-flux QS rules are pretty professional.Do new game customers look at press releases? It's just an announcement, an initial bit of fanfare, more of an FYI to the gaming industry than an customer sales pitch. And even so, if a gamer likes horror, I certainly think that release is plenty to peak some interest.Things are already rolling ahead beyond the initial press release, anyway, like the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playattentiongames/chill-3rd-edition-a-horror-roleplaying-game" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a>. I think if the KS is successful (likely), then there'll be plenty of info and marketing push to get new players interested when the game comes out later next year. There's already some social media activity on Facebook and Twitter, and    [MENTION=35465]BlackHat_Matt[/MENTION] did a <a href="http://gmshoe.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/qa-matthew-mcfarland-chill-3rd-edition/" target="_blank">Q&A last week over at RPG.net</a>.Disclaimer: I'm a fan of the CHILL setting game ever since it first came out, of both 1E and 2E, and was a playtester in the ill-fated attempt at a 3rd Edition from Other World Creations a couple of years back. So count established fan-base enthusiasm leading to forum posting another marketing tool <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
