Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game (6e)
 |
Für knapp 40 Dollar ist bei Chaosium eine Neuauflage des Regelwerks erschienen. Die offizielle Bezeichnung ist 6th Edition. Es handelt sich bei dem Buch um einen um einige wenige Fehler korrigierten Reprint der 20th Anniversary Edition¸ diesmal aber als ganz normales Regelbuch und nicht in Leder gebunden. Will heißen¸ das Buch benutzt das gleiche Layout wie das Pegasus-Regelwerk. Frage: Sind neue Inhalte aus der deutschen Neuauflage¸ die auch im Oktober erscheint¸ mit drin? Antwort: Nur ganz wenige. Die Zeitlinien (weitergeführt bis 2003) werden von uns bereitgestellt und von Chaosium übernommen¸ und möglicherweise auch das neue Layout. Der Rest entspricht aber dann inhaltlich der Vorauflage von Chaosium (5.6.1 Edition). [Quelle: Cthulhu-Newsletter-subscribe@yahoogroups.de]
The Great Old Ones rules the Earth aeons before the incidental rise of humankind. They came from the gulfs of space¸ waged war upon one another¸ and then were cast own by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found in the remote extremes of our planet. Upon uncharted islands¸ within dark ocean depths¸ under burning desert sands¸ locked within polar ice¸ miles below the Earth's crust they lay imprisoned. But when the stars are right they will awaken and walk this Earth once more.
