Horror on the Orient Express Kickstarter II

Not only did the Horror on the Orient Express Kickstarter make it's goal amount to be funded, but it made all it's stretch goals too. I recieved this email this morning:

Congratulations!

Thanks to you and 1372 other backers, Horror on the Orient Express: Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium has been successfully funded. Amazon will now charge your credit card.

Pledge Summary
Amount pledged: $150.00
Reward: Conductor—CANADA— Copy of the final product, Orient Express T-Shirt, Orient Express tote, and four Limited edition Orient Express tickets, a set of Chaosium dice, and a pack of extra handouts for extra players or for your Call of Cthulhu collection, plus a Horror on the Orient Express keeper's screen. Your name listed on the contributor page of the book. **THIS LEVEL INCLUDES SHIPPING**

Estimated delivery: Aug 2013
When your reward is ready, Chaosium Inc. will send you a survey via email to request any info needed to deliver your reward (mailing address, T-shirt size, etc).

For some reason I would think that to make the final amount of $207,804 would require more than 1372 backers, but I guess not. I was sorely tempted to add some of the other knick-knacks from the store to my total, for example the box of minis looks like a great addition to the pile, but I resisted. What this email does not include are all the other goodies that were added to the Conductor level pledge through the stretch goals being reached.


This was added as an image to the updates on the Kickstarter page to get around the word limit placed on the site. Quite a haul all in all. This list does not include the extra adventures that will be written as part of other stretch goals that include extra chapters, and adventures for Cthulhu Invictus, 1890's, and Modern day eras.

That's next year's birthday present bought and paid for. Can't wait. Maybe by next August my schedule will allow for more RPGs.

Full details on the kickstarter here.

Google Watership Down , and you get reviews of both the book by Richard Adams, and the film and animated series based upon it. A story of rabbits. It's slightly more than that, it is a story about anthropomorphised rabbits, and their mythic journey to a new home. A story of liberation and self-determination that strikes a chord with many diverse readers. Google Watership   Down   Trauma , and you'll get another story. My story. Children who were taken to the cinema to watch a cartoon about bunnies (rated U for universal), who were subjected to a tale of death and horror. Rabbits are choked by snares, get into bloody battles, and are snatched by predators. This film was released in cinemas when I was 3, so that was the age I watched it. It is one of my earliest memories. It scarred me. That it was partly based on the author's experience with Operation Market Garden gives us an idea of what we're working with here. Why am I talking about this on a gaming blog? Well, due

"They Grow up so Fast" Handout

Another Tales from the Loop blog post? In such quick succession after the last? What is going on here? The short answer might be that GMing in Face to face sessions leaves me with time in from of a computer with energy to share things. When GMing online, screen time is prep on Roll20 and in Discord.  Another answer might be that in preparing offline handouts, I have artefacts I wish to share, whereas online games are just images snagged from the pdfs. Whatever the answer is, I came here to share this pdf . This is a trifold pamphlet style handout I game my players at the start of out Tales from the Loop campaign, "They Grow up so Fast". I doubles as a quick introduction to what the Loop is, MAFF, and also gives them access to the map that is in the book, as an in game artefact. Of course, strip out the MAFF logo, and change the map, and you can use it for any of the three cannon settings for Tales from the Loop. Or indeed your very own setting. Enjoy, and let me know if you
