Thinking of getting this book. Does anyone here have experiance using it? is it worth the price tag? 40ish dollars

Never heard of it, but why no crop?
Care to explain where you found it, what the tone is, and how it spins the lore?
Honestly, start with Chambers. The King in Yellow is a short collection, and you have to know the origin.
If you are looking for a quality modern Carcosa, check out Impossible Landscapes when it drops in August (we hope!)
I assume you've seen True Detective s1? It's very low key, but it uses some symbolism and references.

Don't do it. Just don't. 40 dollars will buy you at least two pizzas, depending on how fat you are.

This reads like Virtual Optim getting butthurt.

Okay, I gave up on it by chapter 3. Sounds way too retarded to be fun.

its kinda edgy
I think the OSR general has a PDF of it
>>44724477
I like it.
>>44724477
It's alright, good for what it does. Read a copy on the OSR thread and buy it if you like it.
>>44724477
It's a bit of crap that makes you pay for the HC edition. Content is worthless. Grab the PDF if you want but don't waste 40 bucks.
>>44724477
It's utter shit. Buy $40 worth of toilet paper instead.

The premise at least sounds interesting, but the execution sounds terribly mediocre.
That said, I actually agree with Raggi's defense of it in principle. There's no point in getting outraged that a game has some gruesome subject matter, it's just trying to evoke a certain feel, where sorcerers are genuinely evil motherfuckers.

That's because it's some shithead goon with a hateboner for James Raggi and the OSR in general.

Pros:
>The setting is highly evocative
>The art is great and production values very high
Cons:
>A lot of the book is taken up by repetitive lists of hex contents and rituals.
>The mechanical aspects are dated and dodgy.
Call it a flawed gem. I've attached a fan supplement for it that might give you an idea of the kind of setting it is.

Halloween Jack is an idiot who spends way too much time sperging about things he hates.
