[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7906439, member: 518"] I'm fine with the 7th edition rules- at least as presented in the Quick Start- I've run the "The Haunting" using that quickstart and we had a blast. My "issue" *, is the way the new Chaosium is presenting these classics. A fresh coat of paint is one thing, but IMO they are doing a disservice by making the games less accessible with these massive expensive, overly verbose tomes while ( as mentioned in the thread) cutting out some REALLY good stuff- like the great classic scenarios and the fiction. I'm well aware of the business realities these days of getting "shelf space" at the FLGS, etc. but substance is suffering for it. Mr Dunwoody is an experienced gamer- his review/playtest of this Starter Set is disheartening as historically CoC has been an easy prep/run at the table game for nearly 40 years. *Seriously, I don't lose any sleep over this stuff, it's just a game of make believe talking ducks and monsters- I'm not that kind of "fan".
