Miscellanea

None of these comments really justify a post of their own, but they've been stacking up a bit, so here goes:

• I ran two games at last week's Free RPG Day.  Eschewing the convention of actually running one of the scenarios given out, I instead ran two Delta Green Scenarios, the classic scenario Convergence, as well as The Last Equation.  Both games went well.

• Work continues apace on The Idiot's Array.  It's taking a bit longer than I expected, but I've finally got an outline, so it should speed up.  I'll be posting a few builds once I have it written into coherent shape.

• I will finally be giving Danger Roadwork Ahead a playtest tomorrow.  We'll see how it goes.

• I will be attending Imperial Outpost's Gamer Garage Sale on Saturday.  Hopefully, I can find some goodies there as I did last time.

• Chaosium's Kickstarter for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition is in its final hours.  The stretch goals have sweetened the pot considerably for backers, and if you were on the fence before, I recommend a second look.

• Finally, I'll have some spoiler-free information about The Edge of Despayre posted later today.  It's based on the starter of a short campaign, that's on hiatus at the moment, I ran on New Year's Eve last year.

RPG Podcast Trends That Need to Die In An Acid Based Chemical Fire.

Podcasts that consist of interviews with schlubs who spend 50 minutes talking about the RPG product they just launched a Kickstarter for.

Sorry. Not interested.

I have no problem with a popular podcast mentioning a particular Kickstarter they find interesting, but don't want to listen to 50 minutes of it.

And while we're on the subject, the next podcast I listen to that interviews the guys from the GM's Real World Reference Guide might cause me to want to bludgeon somebody to death with a copy of the Pathfinder core rulebook.

Yes I'm looking at you Postcards From the Dungeon.  If more than 50% of your recent podcast episodes consist of "Tell me about your Kickstarter", it's a clear sign your podcast needs to podfade.

Just saying.

Call of Cthulhu 7

The Kickstarter launched today.  I'm in for the two books in hardcover.

Looks like it will reach it's funding goal no later than tomorrow at the pace its setting.

FWIW, if the changes I'm hearing about are true, this will represent the first serious revision of the rules since Fifth Edition, almost 20 years ago  So far as I can tell, 6th Edition just took 5.6 and put it in a more indecipherable typeface.
