"After THE COMING STORM my expectations had gone through the roof... incredibly enough, the present book not only covered them, but actively surpassed them. If THE COMING STORM was the perfect sourcebook, THE ELEVEN LIGHTS is the perfect campaign"—Antonios S. review, RPG.Net Good news: THE ELEVEN LIGHTS Hardcover is now back in stock in our UK warehouse! (also available from our USA & Australian warehouses too). More good news: This product is for HeroQuest Glorantha, but can be easily adapted to RuneQuest as well.

We will release the book for sale on Friday, September 21st from Chaosium.com.

Here's Session 0 of Encounter Roleplay's MASKS OF NYARLATHOTEP actual play. Each following Wednesday at 1pm EDT on Twitch TV they'll be playing through the legendary campaign's new introductory prologue chapter - PERU, where the investigators meet the industrious and charming author Jackson Elias, whose researches lead into the globe-spanning mystery. Embarking on an expedition to find a lost South American pyramid, the investigators come face to face with ancient horrors that foreshadow the task ahead.

Please post any errors/typos spotted in the RuneQuest Gamemaster Screen Pack to this thread. Please take care to note the page number where you've noticed something!

As soon as our friends at MetaArcade launched Cthulhu Chronicles on iOS in July, they heard one question over and over again, asked loudly and passionately: when is the game coming to Android? Finally, after a feverish few weeks of development and testing, they are ready to answer this question: you can play Cthulhu Chronicles on your Android device right now! To get it, just download the Open Beta from the Google Play store.

The amazing MASKS OF NYARLATHOTEP GAMER PROP SET includes a set of Nansen Passports for players to use on their globe-trotting adventure. Now Keepers can get more - either one at a time or in a set of six. Each Passport comes with a sheet of adhesive visa decals and three passport stamps. The visa pages can stamped by the Keeper as the character makes his/her way into and/or out of various countries. The "notes" page in the back can be used to jot down important character skills, hit points, sanity level, etc., or any other data that's important to remember. Masks is a world-spanning adventure, and it's just possible some of your players may need a replacement character or two during the campaign. Available from our friends, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society https://store.hplhs.org/products/nansen-passports-for-role-playing-games?variant=13550329200705

I don't think that is the intent, or even an unintended consequence. I too am okay with the idea one Detect Spell can potentially knock out one Countermagic - the first it comes across (measured by distance from the caster I suppose). The flip-side is if the countermeasure is strong enough, this could also knock out the Detect spell from detecting any further. I also propose that any added MPs to a Detect get fully applied to the first countermeasure it comes across, the same way. The added MPs don't carry any further. Off-topic: it's like how my younger son has recently became obsessed with NFL and seems to have absorbed an absurd amount of facts and detail, not just about his favourite team (Seahawks), but seemingly the whole American Football competition. Not a typical interest of an Australian teenager (though he's also very interested in Australian Rules Football and Cricket and seems to have voluminous knowledge about these too). I said to him see if you can find an NFL site in French, that way at least you can combine your homework with your interests.

I think that's *exactly* how things play out in the libertarian paradise of Loskalm.

FOR THE FINAL 5% OF 13th AGE GLORANTHA BACKERS, waiting on their shipments: we have been advised the remaining shipments to the US and Canada are going out on Wednesday this week. The UK and Australian fulfilment centers are sending out their remaining orders on or before this Friday. Please note, rolled maps will be in a separate delivery. If you haven't received your order by September 21st, or it is incorrect or has been damaged in transit, please get in touch at customerservice@chaosium.com and we'll sort it out.

Late October.

Sorry, I haven't ordered a prop set from HPLHS. My copy is at Chaosium HQ in Ann Arbor.

Having sailed close by R'lyeh and the cyclopean ruins of Nan Madol, the XIN QING DAO is now steaming towards Botany Bay, bringing its cargo of RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. It is due to arrive tomorrow evening. This means we are on target to have RQG available from all three fulfilment locations (USA, UK, Australia) sooner rather than later this month.

"Style: 5 (Excellent) Substance: 5 (Excellent) - this is gaming history in the making. This product is so pioneering, so over-the-top in what it tries to achieve and how triumphantly it succeeds, that it deserves the creation of a whole new grading system. This is the end of role-playing as we know it, and the transcendence towards a new experience with similarities to a LARP." —Antonios S. of RPGNet reviews the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's MASKS OF NYARLATHOTEP GAMER PROP SET https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/17/17758.phtml

At Gen Con this year Sandy gave an illuminating seminar on writing horror scenarios—a topic he knows a thing or two about. It is now available on Youtube. Better still, The Alexandrian (RPG writer Justin Alexander's site) now has detailed and incisive step-by-step notes about the seminar. Useful viewing and reading for incipient and even experienced horror scenario writers... https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/40658/roleplaying-games/notes-on-writing-horror-scenarios-the-sandy-petersen-way

I like that! It makes Magasta's Pool resemble a Black Hole, and all the more terrifying for it You can still avail yourself of that offer right now: buy the PDF and you'll get the full cost of the PDF off the price of the physical book from Chaosium.com. Correct. The US ship landed some time, and the UK ship recently. The Australian ship is due to dock in Sydney on Saturday (with previous shipments the Australian ship was the first to arrive, maybe this one disappeared into a space-time vortext off R'lyeh for a few weeks)

To everyone's surprise, there was a very upbeat discussion about Call of Cthulhu on Japan's NHK this afternoon (the Japanese equivalent of the BBC), and this tweet about it is now ranking #12 on Japanese Twitter: Shiro Sano is a well-known actor (and long-time Call of Cthulhu fan), who appeared in a Japanese version of Shadow over Innsmouth:
