I guess they will all be put under the same entry. In that way for example there could be a Cthulhu 1st edition entry, which then houses both prints and even the Designer Edition as far as I'm concerned.

I will make a list and email it to you. I will provide scans.I guess that German CoC has a lot of German exclusive titles as well. IIRC, Italian and Spanish products too.
lokiwookie wrote:For all the products that are only a translation, I am not sure it is necessary to add them on the wiki. Don't you think?
lokiwookie wrote:I just looked quickly to the list, and I am wondering if "goodies" have to be included. For example, I bought from Mars the Character Creation software program released by Hero Games. For a CoC collector, it is (I think) an interesting item that has to be listed. But, in the case, where is the "limit"?

TheHistorian wrote:One area that I skip completely is anything in the Cute-thulhu mindset. It really has no relation to the core game.
TheHistorian wrote:Foreign editions? Maybe. Do other spots in the wiki bother with that?
TheHistorian wrote:Sorting by decade will be a little challenging. For one example, there are six versions of Dreamlands, scattered over every decade the game has been published. How would that work? Would there be a link from each decade to the same Dreamlands page?
TheHistorian wrote:And we could get into variations. How about the period where there were POD reissues of some books? I don't believe there is a complete list out there of these. They're an inferior product, based on print quality, but is it useful to note them anyway?
TheHistorian wrote:I think my point is that there is a TON of stuff for a game that has been around continually for 30 years. We may want to try to define the scope before diving in.

lokiwookie wrote:I think we should add related items. Why? Because Yog-Sothoth already has a database and the Acaeum Wiki should bring something that we cannot find in another place. Most of CoC fans/collectors are HPL fans as well and collect a lot of Cthulhu/HPL related items. This will be very interesting to find a website where to find all that. For instance, the HPL tarot, Chaos in Campus (a Lovecraftian tales game), The Occult Lovecraft, etc.

TheHistorian wrote:I don't have a problem expanding into the related items, but that's a huge expansion. I hope you have all that stuff, because I sure don't.
