is it possible to get a list or a sneak preview of the index or contents for the new monster book? just o we can see what ones are in there. and is it a non setting specific book or will the beasties be more geared toa certain setting?

suppose there is always the option to take the best elements of conan and make a conanish setting for another system, thus negating the licence completly as judging by the news on the movie any future conan related stuff looks like it could be kiddy aimed crap. elements such as the various human...

oh dear this movie looks like its gonna be utter crap,

so what rq1 books are actually still compatable with rq2? how is arms n equipment incompatable? what about monsters 1 and 2. i can understand the main book and speel book are obviously now duff. just incase i bite my tongue and buy the bloody new edtion anyway, if just to see the difference.

sorry but their statement clearly says they had plans for a atlas and interest from publishers

yes it maybe trade, but one of the golden rules of trade is look after your customers, take them for granted and they will go elsewhere

well perhaps aswell as just mentioning them on here you could issue a statement to other gaming sites and to retailers so they could at least advise their customers that there is a new edition on the way, similar to what wizards of the cash did with 4th edition (about a years warning if not...

The Mongoose license has always been for RPGs and supplements only. The proposed atlas series was never included in the license. Unfortunately, work was started in lieu of this without prior approval and license amendment. CPI has been considering developing a deluxe atlas to explore the...

if none of what i said was true then why is that basically the statement i read from the licenceors? have they not been planning their own atlas for some time? have they not already been in touch with publishers to see about this? are you allowed to print new material in the last year of the...

good example of change in a ok way is castles and crusades, which after 6 years has reprinted withchanges to their game, however these are not major changes and they have made the material changed available for free for those with earlier editions so they dont need to buy a new book. thats...

my point about the changes is mainly the timescale, cthulhu may have seen changes but these have been over 20 years not 4! these changes could have easily been done either before or in the future not just after a few years, the fact that hawkmoon etc were running out of publishable material...

the way in which skills are increased was not a main change and sanity HAS actually stayed relativly the same with MINOR changes, but as you yourself point out these wernt changes to the game system which required the release of new soucre material as the rq2 changes have, or are mongoose going...

aghain, the material for cthulhu is constantly updated and new stuff released, what you refer to as new editions, but it is done in a way which makes it minimal in regards to system changes,

chaosium were never really a true power house and didnt really aim for this rather aiming to produce a beatiful and time lasting rpg. they wereand are a important linchpin of the rpg world wit many awards to boot but this wasnt their aim palladium was always a smallish entity which is why they...

CoC has a sixth edition because technology has changed and this needed to be added into the game, the rules havent changed at all since earlier editions, they may have edition in the name but are more just reprints as the inside cover will tell you especially the supplements you mention which...
