No new BTS in '09...

Play CoC- Not sure what this is unfortunately.

Call of Cthulhu one of the best RPG made.

DOH!
Thats funny... Ive played it many a time in the past, but NO ONE here ever reffered to it as CoC. That being said it is indeed great inspiration for BTS.

I thought about this game in fact, but since H.P. Lovecraft was already mentioned I guess I assumed CoC was included.

I think Kevin should take both of the planned books put them together as one book, add some conversion notes for Dead Reign, Rifts, Heroes, Nightbane and even Splicers. Give it a Dark Conversion type theme and now it could be used as a companion book for all the book lines. Please don't forget about us Kevin

Call of Cthulhu would probably be more frequently mentioned if Cthulhu were easier to spell.

I've only ever sat in on one CoC game, and that was a short convention game. I liked it, but it wasn't anything special to me. There are some interesting CoC games which have been recorded for the netcast Yog Radio. I particularly liked the game session which was set in the Iraqi desert.

After reading several Lovecraft stories last year, I wrote my own adventure loosely based upon The Colour Out of Space. Character creation for Madness of Cthulhu got a little more complex than I wanted, but I was pleased with the adventure. I titled it, Hainted Holler. I was experimenting with the second addition C.O.R.E. rules at the time, and I was pleased with the result -- even if no one ever read it. It's over yonder.
