A big pile of Chaosium

Our April Fools Sale package finally arrived from Chaosium. Actually it had already arrived in the country in late April, but I don't have the energy to recount the story here. I got it in the end, so everything's cool.

My share of the spoils consisted of:

• H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham
• Mansions of Madness
• Secrets of Los Angeles
• Secrets of New York
• The Yellow Sign and Other Stories (fiction by Robert W. Chambers)
• Trail of Cthulhu (the new Cthulhu RPG from Pelgrane Press)
• a set of Pallid Dice to go with the fiction

It's going to take me a good long while to digest all that.

In other news: GTA IV is still awesome at 35 % completion. It is not a roleplaying game as such, but feels more like an RPG than many supposed CRPGs even without the character development system that San Andreas had. I tend to feel Niko's anger when he is unjustly treated (which happens often), and the action scenes get the adrenaline pumping.
