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.

"Nobody fucks with my family!"

Halfway there!

Since the last update, I ran Tatterdemallion (one dead PC, one insane, two somewhat okay) and played one session of the 1920s Cthulhu. That takes me to 26, two months ahead of schedule.

I also bought an Xbox 360 with Grand Theft Auto IV - now there's an impressive game. The best open world I ever saw.

Game Count: 26/52
