Jon and Seth are joined by special guest Mike Mason to talk about what's a-brewing in Call of Cthulhu's side of Chaosium's house.

Mike updates the guys on Call of Cthulhu: Campfire Tales, the Kingsport sourcebook (next in the Arkham Unveiled series), new developments with Cthulhu by Gaslight, newly hired team members at Chaosium, and of course the rapidly approaching Chaosium Con US 2026 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Exorcist's Codex

2025 by Two Starving Gnolls (Pax Cthuliana, Svasbard - system-neutral adventures)

Uses BRP mechanics (with ORC License)

1890s Demon Hunters

Mechanics

• Several Occupations - Occupations offer special abilities, restrictions, and modifiers to Faith (Relic Hunter, Priest, demonologist, occult detective, Church Licensed Exorcist, etc)

• Holy Faith Factor - source of Power, but higher it is the more susceptible to Demonic Corruption

• Instead of SAN they Have Spirit - works very similar, but one key difference is that it replenishes with time. Speed based off how low it is. Spirit can be spent to inf;uency Destiny Rolls (sorta like Luck rolls)

• Criticisms - I dislike BRP Resistance Table. Feel the 7e CoC should have been used for BRP, but they chose not to. Unsure on diversity of adventures. But I haven't read too deep.

Indiana Jones RPG

1984 by TSR (David Cook - game designer)

Uses Percentile dice for Attribute Test resolutions

Setting: Pulp 1930s pre-war

Mechanics

• Attributes - All characters have six attributes: Strength, Movement, Prowess, Backbone, Instinct, and Appeal.

• Each Attribute has four percentile values: Normal, Twice Normal (x2), Half of Normal (1/2), and One-Quarter of Normal (1/4).

• Referee (GM) determines the difficulty of an Attribute Test, and then the player attempts to roll percentile dice equal to or less than the declared difficulty level.

• Characters have Skills, but no skill has a percentile value; instead having an appropriate skill, (or using a skill in a clever way), can influence the difficulty level of an Attribute Test, typically making it an easier test if the character possesses the needed skill, or possibly more difficult if the character does not have the needed skill.

FOUND IT!!!

Friends and fellow cultists! Back in November, Seth and Jon interviewed writer, Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, and it was glorious. And then the holidays happened, and somewhere along the way, Jon lost the files. [There was much sorrow and wailing.]

But then, a Cthulhu miracle! Jon was able to recover the files from Zencaster!!! [And there was much rejoicing!] So, we present to you, the lost-then-recovered interview with Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan!
