  1. Yes - just remember that "non commercial" means you can't charge money for it though.
  2. Chaosium welcomes Atlanta-based layout designer Chandler Kennedy to the team.

  3. Basic Roleplaying Line Editor Jason Durall does a deep dive on how to best approach the BRP System when designing a game for your original setting. Our $10,000 Basic Roleplaying Design Challenge is open for submissions now. The goal of the BRP Design Challenge is to financially assist new and upcoming creators in bringing their games to independent publication (be that digital or print). Chaosium seeks to empower designers from all walks of life, with original ideas, concepts, and systems, with the goal of seeing all shortlisted entries eventually published independently. Entry to the BRP Design Challenge is free and all entrants retain ownership of their work in its entirety. Chaosium does not require the signing over of rights of any kind in order to enter the BRP Design Challenge. Find out more about the BRP Design Challenge here: https://www.chaosium.com/blogthe-basic-roleplaying-design-challenge/

  10. Following the triumphant return of the 51 player Home of the Bold game at Chaosium Con in Ann Arbor this weekend, A Rough Guide to Boldhome is now available worldwide in print and PDF in the Jonstown Compendium at DriveThruRPG. Designed as the official sourcebook for the Home of the Bold freeform (LARP), A Rough Guide to Boldhome is also a valuable resource for RuneQuest GMs and players wishing to explore the famous city of Boldhome and its inhabitants.

Featuring content by many well-known Glorantha creators including Greg Stafford, Jeff Richard, Nick Brooke, and David Hall, this 81 page full colour book also previews material from the forthcoming official RuneQuest Sartar sourcebook, and includes new Gloranthan fiction by Michael O'Brien. It’s also full of new colour artwork, previous artwork and maps, and features three new full colour maps of the region.
