Love your accent Bud, but it's definitely Stye—vuh—sent. lol
I remember because my auntie smoked his ciggies and told me off for pronouncing it wrong.
Weren't the 1970s just bizarre?
There was shame in a child mispronouncing the cancer-sticks brand of a 17thC Dutch antisemite, but blowing copious smoke over a playing toddler was totally fine.
Have you seen the 2nd edition version? If so, thoughts on differences?
Wowowow, what a masterpiece. I didn't know I needed this in my collection, but this is like, one of the best things we could be doing with RPG's as a medium.
Looking at another book to get. Lots of adventures to add to my new York campaign.
A sympathetic and insightful review, Bud . Bravo!
Didn't know this was out there — but its in my cart NOW — thanks so much for the insightful and detailed review!~
The cover is stellar, love it. /graphic nerd
Wonderful review. I've always had a bit of aversion to Cthulhu-style gaming, but I really think I should give this a shot.
Odd they chose Harlem rather than New Orleans, which is a glorious historic place for any kind of gothic horror or mythos style setting. Especially if you tie history to supernatural stuff: voodoo, cajun catholic superstitions, native american beliefs, sailors own superstitions, local myths of New Orleans, and of course fakes & con artists that pretend to be all those things.
Thank you, as always, for the review. What a weird product. Setting CoC in Harlem sounds like a brilliant idea, but the text (which I have not read) seems to be weighed down with left-wing intersectional political correctness. How unfortunate.
well done Bud
A great review which will generate a lot of interest in what looks like a quality product.
Great job, Bud! Thanks for contacting Chris and getting his insights. It is that kind of engagement within the community that keeps discussions moving.
