This edition of Call of Cthulhu was Kickstarted, but I never got around to backing it. Lots of stuff going on at the time. But I had to order something recently (mildly long, not particularly relevant, story), so I figured that I’d grab it.
It’s certainly a very pretty book; the Kickstarter seems to have paid for things like color printing, extensive illustrations, and a bookmark. I particularly like the inclusion of maps of both Arkham and Lovecraft’s Massachusetts in general; such things are useful for harried GMs trying to shoehorn imaginary locations into real maps. As to the mechanics… I dunno. Haven’t played it yet. My regular gaming circle isn’t really big on horror RPGs anyway. But everybody’s raving about it, so I figure that it can’t be that much of a disaster.
Huh.
I could have sworn I backed that. I’d even been wondering why I hadn’t gotten updates or the books.
But my account says that I didn’t, and my credit card records confirm.

Either I’ve lost my mind, or slipped through a brane.
I’m not sure which option is worse.
Option C: sixty bucks for the hardcover Keeper’s Edition seemed a bit steep. 🙂
I’d have done the PDFs at half that. I need to build bookshelves in the basement to store what I already have. A lot of bookcases.
