Meanwhile, Chaosium cannot for the life of it push out that new and improved edition of Cthulhu by Gaslight they've promised. What treachery is this?

However, you'll be delighted to learn that a new edition of the 1920s London sourcebook - written by yours truly - will be in the shops this year.

Yes indeed. Consider this my personal guarantee of purchase, then; I have a specific and legitimately game-related need for one of those.
