RPGNet says: "Greg Stafford's supreme creation brought fully up to date with the presentation it deserves and tremendous added depth. A fitting memorial. STYLE - 5/5: Chaosium is producing some of the best-looking books in gaming right now, and RuneQuest Glorantha is not only probably the best of the best, but also both a superb representation of its setting and a fitting tribute to it. SUBSTANCE - 5/5: Can it go higher than 5?"

RuneQuest Con Down Under is returning to Australia on November 11! Greg Stafford was guest of honour at both previous RQ Con Down Unders, held in Melbourne, Australia, in 1996 and 1998. With the endorsement from Chaosium, the RPG Review Cooperative, organisers of RQ Con DU III are establishing a trust fund in Greg Stafford's memory to support future RQ Cons in Australia (and ensure there's not another 20 year gap between this one and the next). The generous donation of a rare first edition of Greg's WHITE BEAR RED MOON will help establish the initial funds for the trust.

CALL OF CTHULHU the video game is coming out at the end of this month. Our friends at Focus Home Interactive are including a dedication to Greg Stafford in the credits. #WeAreAllUs

Here is what Sandy said there about losing "the single most creative person I have ever met":

The Great Shaman demoing Khan of Khans GenCon in 2016:

Waha! Greg Stafford loved demoing Khan of Khans. At Gen Con last year he'd plonk down at the front of the booth and cheerfully play it with anyone. Some may not have realised it—Greg could be surprisingly humble—but dozens of people got to play a fun game with one of the greatest game designers of all time, set in the mythic world he created. #WeAreAllUs

Greg's wife Suzanne and family have set the dates for memorial gatherings for Greg Stafford. They will take place on November 2-3 in Arcata, CA, and then on November 10 in Berkeley, CA. They are both open events, and Suzanne encourages anyone who wants to attend to do so. More details will follow. #WeAreAllUs

No. That will send Jason down unnecessary rabbit holes. Please only use the most recent updated PDF for errors and corrections.

As a fitting way to help mark his passing and honour his memory, Chaosium board games line editor Susan got together with long-time Chaosium supporters and friends of Greg, Andrew Bean and Peter Tracy to play his classic game DRAGON PASS tonight. #WeAreAllUs

Vale Greg Stafford (1948 - 2018) The shock and grief the Chaosium family felt at the news of the passing of our beloved and revered company founder, Greg Stafford, cannot be measured. Greg died yesterday in his sweat lodge at his home in Arcata, CA. Mercifully, his passing was painless and quick. He died as he lived, on a spiritual quest of enlightenment. As one of the greatest game designers of all time; winner of too many awards to count; and a friend, mentor, guide, and inspiration to generations of gamers, “the Grand Shaman of Gaming” influenced the universe of tabletop gaming beyond measure. Greg founded The Chaosium in 1975, and from the outset (to quote his own words) “was never content to imitate, but instead published games that were original in their style of play, content and design”. Under his leadership, the company quickly became renowned for its originality and creativity, and was responsible for introducing numerous things to the hobby that are standards today. As John Wick (7th Sea, Legend of the Five Rings) memorably said, “The older I get, the more I hear young RPG designers say ‘Never been done before!’ And then I just point at something Greg Stafford did a few decades ago.” Greg’s work in roleplaying games, board games, and fiction have been acclaimed as some of the most engaging and innovative of all time. There will doubtless be many valedictory messages over the coming days from the countless people that Greg inspired and enthused across his many interests and passions - Glorantha, Oaxaca, King Arthur, shamanism, mythology and more. For now, we leave you with the words of the Myth maker himself, speaking at the 2018 ENnies Awards ceremony, his last public engagement. Greg was immensely proud of the work Chaosium had done in recent years, particularly since his return as chair of the board in 2015. Ultimately, on reflection, he recognized that everyone’s success in the gaming industry was down to the enthusiasm and support of the fans. We at Chaosium recognize that countless RPG fans are fans (including us!) because of Greg Stafford and what he achieved. Our heartfelt condolences to Greg’s wife Suzanne, and his children Noah, Alisha, Jason, and their families. Vale Greg—from the team at Chaosium #WeAreAllUs

Greg's family request that you respect their privacy in this time of grief.

Delphes Devoivres of Sedefkar Simulacrum fame is back with another beautiful set of sculptural art pieces for Masks of Nyarlathotep. This time, it's glorious objects from the new Peru chapter. The PROPS OF NYARLATHOTEP - PERU Kickstarter has three days to run, and there several interesting Stretch Goals are in sight! Delphes is a talented artist and sculptor and these props are glorious pieces of art (even the silicon grub). [Delphes' splendid sculptural art pieces do not compete with the truly awesome Masks Gamer Prop Set pieces produced by HPLHS, they compliment!]
