Kevin Ross tracked down many quotes and sources, and added material and statistics. Les Brooks created the ready-to-play investigators and compiled sample gear and prices. Mark Morrison (with Lynn Willis) wrote Dead Man Stomp. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, The Edge of Darkness, Prehistory of the Cthulhu Mythos, and (with Kevin Ross) Books of the Cthulhu Mythos. Keith Herber wrote the Necronomicon chapter, Mythos Prehistory, H. Snyder, Tony Ackland, Drashi Khendup, and Caryad.Ĭhaosium is: Lynn Willis, Charlie Krank, Dustin Wright, Fergie, Kyle Grutze & various odd critters Section illustrations & sidebar decorations: Paul Carrick additional illustrations: Gene Day, Tom Sullivan, Lori Deitrick, Gus DiZerega, Chris Marrinan, Dreyfus, Lisa A.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft Author, Scholar, Gentleman Born 1890 Died 1937 It kind of strikes me as the midpoint between those play styles. As to overall feeling, for me It’s almost as if Gaslight is more "Pulp" in it’s content, but even more hardcore "Classic" in it’s player survivability. You have an equally interesting point about the timeline of the supplement compared to Victoria’s reign. I enjoyed that because it helps to educate an American in British English.
#CALL OF CTHULHU 6TH ED FULL#
Incidentally, when you get a chance to read Scritch Scratch (:/) it is chock full of British colloquialisms (Lynne Hardy being the author). But it also wouldn’t surprise me if both are Americans. Obviously Kevin Ross is a legacy writer for CoC, I just don’t know a lot about him personally. I couldn’t find any background info on Kevin Ross or William A. (That’s not a value judgment on Brits, Lord knows plenty of stuff is messed up here in the US.) Call of Cthulhu has a strong UK pedigree and you would hope that actual British people would make a Victorian era supplement. I get the impressions that there are hardcore shunnings in the British class system. For example, upper/upper middle class people can walk into Wal Mart here and nothing will happen. We have classes, they just aren’t as rigidly stratified socially.
And I acknowledge that my understanding may be wrong because the approach to class is very foreign to most Americans.
Upper middle class folks in the US have a tendency to disavow their upper middle class status because they want to be styled as "normal people who have made it", rather than categorically different than others. I’ve noticed that what we would call "Upper Middle Class", Brits call "middle class." Note that the difference between upper and lower middle class in the US is largely divided by economic lines, rather than social lines.
The differences between lower and upper middle class exist in both countries but Brits seem to identify much more strongly socially in each of those cases. As an Anglophile, I watch a lot of UK YouTube. One of my main questions was: What does an actual Brit think abut this supplement about historical Britain? Great point on class association, which has definitely never been as stringent here in the US.
