Okay. And the handouts!

You're welcome; always happy to help you out.

Best reason to have a boxed set, handouts.

Advantage vanishing with electronic version?

Can still have them as files to print out if so required.

Speaking of handouts, has anyone seen those produced for The Dracula Dossier? Best thing handout-wise I've ever seen; volume, quality, usefulness, etc. Completely amazing. Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan worked on that book too; fantastic campaign. If Moria's even half as good as that we're in for a real treat.

Yeah, the going back in time 120ish years to print the redacted version under a pseudonym really puts it over the top.

That's genius too; loved it.

Here are some photos of the handouts - only scratching the surface, mind, as there are dozens of individual pieces:






They really elevate an already great campaign to something spectacular.

I've seen the redacted version of Dracula, where do you find all those other things? What I have seen is very cool

They were through the Kickstarter for it, an extra that you purchased. I'm really glad I did as, like all great handouts, they act partly as information for the players/characters but also make brilliant in-universe props which really draws the players into the game. I can't wait to try it out with my current group... We're trialing the Gumshoe system at the moment with Mutant City Blues so next time will be Night's Black Agents I reckon.

So being fairly new to RPGs, I am wondering what a Deluxe Box Set in general includes. Is it just a different enclosure for some books? Or does it include extras and if so, what kind could we expect to be in there?

Welcome to the wonderful world of tabletop RPGs, Geomtje. Hope you’re enjoying yourself. Given the pattern of C7’s previous releases for TOR, and what C7 Art Director Jon Hodgson has described earlier, I’m guessing the boxed set will include a setting supplement describing the area, an adventure supplement with pre-written adventures, and two rule books, one for TOR and one for Adventures in Middle-Earth, which uses the rules of 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons.

Just for the record, I'm still hoping for a perforated box that folds out into a Balrog, similar to the Chomucos tequila box.
