Nope, not for me; it's not a time period or setting emphasis that interests me. I'm also getting CoC7, so between that, Laundry Files and Crawford's horror game, I'm good.

Well to each their own, of course. But I'm quite certain this presentation of a mythos RPG will be quite unique in comparison to other times, to other styles, and with some mechanical innovations of interest.

I have a 'wait-and-see' view of this.  Not going to go in on another kickstarter, but if the reviews of the final product are good, I'll pick up a copy.  I like the era in question.

Im with Akrasia on this one.

Found the premise original and exciting, but wouldnt enter on a kickstarter. Only after the thing go out, and reviews give it some praise.

Quote from: Brasidas;659508Ok, so it's a bit pre-Edwardian, but I've the sudden urge to run a game set during the horrors of the Boer War. Maybe some of those Dutch farmers were up to unseemly things, or maybe Kitchener's brutal reprisals were for a good reason. Plus, I can have them run into a young Winston Churchill. :)

I would love to run a Taishō period game. Who knows what the Japanese would find in the jungles of Formosa(Taiwan) or what they disturb while looking for islands to claim in the Pacific.

Part of the plan is for Asia to feature prominently in some of the setting material.

Quote from: The Butcher;659318It's because I saw no sign of several of the promised innovations and bonus goals. What we got was Openquest revised & errata'ed, which is okay, I guess, and Newt is still one of my favorite people in the industry; but that's not what I signed up for (I made a point of pledging only after certain bonus goals were hit). I'm looking forward to see what the finished product will look like.

A retraction. Newt has since contacted me and pointed out that most of the stretch goals are there in the PDF (I did miss them on my initial read) and the two or three that escaped are being worked on right now.

They're really quite fantastic; quality-wise I found his Mythos stories (including in that the Bran Mak Morn stories) superior to the Conan stories, though of course most people disagree.

There was a collection of Howard's mythos stories from Chaosium that I own. I have always thought Howard's mythos stories were much more gameable than Lovecraft's, though the latter can still be mined for fantastic gaming ideas of course.

I'm pretty sure I had that same one; and yes, I think Howard's stories were far more gameable, as a general rule. Not that Lovecraft didn't have some that were quite adventurous as well.

I also own a collection of his horror stories, I believe from Del Rey Books, that includes some mythos, Solomon Kane and Conan ones. Also quite enjoyable.
