A sample adventure is planned as a "stretch goal" for the hardback, but it will be all-new material!  

Ah, my dark wishes have been answered, now to keep up my end and sacrifice that baby...

I do like Gizom's idea.

Interesting, that's the audio version published by Audio Realms, Inc. available in The Dark Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, Volume 4.

Wayne June's narration is fantastic.

I wouldn't be surprised if this gets pulled from youtube due to licensing, but I'm not going to rat them out.

You can buy it directly from Audio Realms -- for a good price -- or on Audible, from Amazon. I only ever got physical copies of Volumes 4 & 5. For some reason you can only get an mp3 download of Vol. 5 from the publisher, not on Audible. I'm sad I didn't get Vol. 6, At the Mountains of Madness, while the gettin' was good, but I'm thinking of snagging it on Audible now.

To keep this on topic, have you thought about including your Rats in the Walls in the next edition of Hyperborea, Ghul? A starter adventure or sample dungeon a la the DMG might be nice for completeness sake; maybe even Benoist's dungeon unless Scaly is planning a reprint. This is only provided you didn't want to draft up something totally new, or that you have the room. Hmm, could make for another stretch goal idea.

I like Bang! for (root)beer & pretzels card games. It does have a slight flaw in that you can die before you get to go. This doesn't happen too often though.

I did get to play Aliens last night! The chaps seemed to enjoy it despite one of them having traumatic memories of RNGesus molestation in highschool about two decades ago.

Show me on the doll where the Alien grabbed you, James.

I remember being on one of Ghul's boards once at some point... but I've been traversing time and space recently, and things often get mixed up. So I made this account to keep things simple, and to obviate recalling ancient info. 

I thought A Study in Emerald first edition (based on the story of the same name by Neil Gaiman) was absolutely fantastic. I'm interested in trying the second edition out now. I have come to loathe deckbuilders, but this feature excellently supplements players' maneuvers across the board.

Speaking of Descent, I likewise recommend Imperial Assault! Similar game-play, with some mechanical tweaks of which I very much approve. Plus it's STAR WARS! Pew! Pewpewpewww! *snap* *hisssssss* vvvvvbbbmmmwohhh... but I'm wrestling with FFG recently enacting some price restrictions for online retailers, much like Games Workshop did with stores over a decade ago. I do not support it. But people may want to get some sets while the gettin's cheap.

I really should bring out Aliens (w/ the campaign rules) to play with the group. I believe I am quite remiss in not doing this sooner. Thank you, Grodog.
