I, for one, would be delighted if any new GtG version of the venerable
Trollpak used a *different* troll region -- say, maybe Halikiv -- or at
least added substantial amounts of new materials on the regions outside
DI. Would justify buying a third version of it for me, and I suspect for
others.
That said, I suspect it's not going to happen. Judging from Chaosium's
Maybe one of the compromises might be that whatever old material is
------------------------------
releases for CoC, it's a *lot* easier to repackage old material with minor
changes. If the choice is between repackaging old material or waiting
until new material is written, Greg-certified, edited and published, then
it's probably very tempting to re-release the old stuff to raise revenue
to fund the new game. Not to condemn Chaosium; it's a tough call.
republished first be the "rarer" things of old, that a lot of people might
not have. Say, a GtG version of Pavis...?
