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]
Horror Roleplaying in the Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft
The Great Old Ones ruled the earth aeons before the rise of humankind. Originally they came from the gulfs of space and were cast down by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found on remote islands in the Pacific¸ buried amid the shifting sands of vast deserts¸ and in the frigid recesses of the polar extremes. Now they sleep -- some deep within the enveloping earth and others beneath the eternal sea¸ in the drowned city of R'lyeh¸ preserved in the waters by the spells of mighty Cthulhu. When the stars are right they will rise¸ and once again walk this Earth.
