Indeed, excellent as ever.

I'm not sure I could run Convergence now as I imagine most of my gaming groups, even if they haven't played it, are aware of it. But I've used several of the tropes in my current campaign, with the Mi-Go and other Mythos entities and those worked fine.

I get round the time problem in the campaign by it being always Thursday, which is our gaming night, unless there's a very long game time sequence. Game time and real time moving at the same pace make it much easier to keep track and as it's set in the 30s, to coordinate with real world events. We started in April 1930 and the next session will be in January 1936.
