Call was specifically geared for cosmic horror, but Chill you could go from Hammer horror to pulp horror, badfilm horror, X-Files, all the way to Scooby-Doo and Ghostbusters. There were more ways to dial it up or down for a campaign. And Elvira lent her name and likeness to a compilation book!

I knew about all four, tho Stalking the Night and Beyond only through Dragon magazine ads. Call of Cthulhu and Chill I had much time with. While we played a lot more CoC, I always preferred Chill for horror.

And to be honest, I wanted to get them, but the Venn diagram of time and money was not to be. Still don't the pdf's, there just has been so much out of the indie, osr, nsr, other letter combos, and outright new games, well there is a lot on my plate. Including run on sentences.

The other things were the timings of the releases, GDW was folding in the lull of the 90's for older companies, and 3E came out pretty much alongside Lejendary Adventure.

Well, when TSR tied to sue him for even trying to work on any ttrpg after his departure, so many of the major players in the profession kind of avoided him like the plague. He was persona no grata until WotC bought out TSR. It must have been like working under a gun.

You randomly came up on my youtube feed the other week. Keep hitting the shorts, but you have good longer form content. That raw milk video is crappy, in the right way.

I wish they would remake the Fez series, Role Aids had some amazing stuff. Maybe Goodman, maybe.
Oh, I got your book the other day, and holy crap, it's like another copy of the DCC rulebook. Meaty, heavy, and good lord you could hurt someone with this. MIT Press books are solid, but damn.

Great podcast, I seriously was not expecting Phil Hine! Been reading his stuff for 30 years or so, and Rodney Orpheus has his shit together as well!

I may have a publisher you may be interested in, Critical Kit. I funded their Punk is Dead Mörk Borg variant game, and wound up meeting them at Pax Unplugged, real decent people, real good games. Check them out: @critkituk.bsky.social

Thought you would be more of a Blood Angles guy, but on second thought, Painted Wastelands and all, the Third makes sense. Where are the noise marines?

Take the advertising! Yes it sucks monkey nuts. Also add your bluesky info to everything. Check out the reviewers, Questing Beast mentioned the Painted Wastelands in his latest blog. See if you can get on the Deiku podcast/youtube channel, also Unwinnable, they promote a lot of small creators.
