Liberté, égalité, lose SANité - Call of Cthulhu maestro Mark Morrison (Horror on the Orient Express, Reign of Terror, Call of Cthulhu the official video game) is running a new scenario from Reign of Terror on TwitchTV on Saturday with the Saving Throw Show - heads will roll! https://www.twitch.tv/savingthrowshow

19th Level Blogspot says, "Taking a look at the 2018 #ENnies Winners, it seems the Mythos kinda kicked ass... An impressive performance - it's interesting seeing how the ENnie awards have evolved from what used to be very d20-based... seeing Chaosium perform so well is also satisfying - for so many years they were a company that could get out a single product per year if they were lucky." https://19thlevel.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-elder-gods-reign-supreme-in-2018.html

Gloranthan treasure from Gen Con... demo copies from our friends at Campaign Coins!

"On my run-through, I ended up making the wrong choices and dying... the game seems quite well-made for a text adventure, with highly atmospheric illustrations and ambient music"—Teleread checked out Cthulhu Chronicles at Gen Con.https://teleread.org/2018/08/06/branching-path-narratives-come-to-gen-con

If you played in my RQG game "The Diet of Wyrms" at Gen Con on Saturday night could you get in touch? I somehow lost the bit of paper where you all wrote down your email addresses. As we talked about, I'd like to send you the background stuff to the scenario, the tumultuous events leading up to the Second Battle of Moonbroth (in which you all served so admirably, if not gloriously...).

Chaosium will publish a second, updated edition of the critically acclaimed Harlem Unbound, it was announced at Gen Con today. Harlem Unbound is the creation of African-American game designer Chris Spivey. The first edition was published to critical acclaim by Spivey's indie studio Darker Hue Studios. Spivey's first release, Harlem Unbound won three Gold awards at the 2018 ENies Awards. The new edition of Harlem Unbound will feature additional scenarios, new maps and new art.

We've added a new 13th Age Glorantha Seminar to the Chaosium Gen Con schedule. It takes place on Sunday at 10:00 AM (Lucas Oil : Meeting Room 7). Join designer Rob Heinsoo and art director Michael O'Brien (me) for a jaunt through the many Gloranthas that helped create this labor of love. https://www.gencon.com/events/145574

We've just heard that 13th Age Glorantha and The Glorantha Sourcebook have arrived at our UK warehouse, so we now have copies in all three of our fulfilment locations, so we will commence distribution of the Kickstarter rewards from all three locations (Australia, USA, UK) later this week.

Blood, sex and Rock'n Roll! - a write-up of Claudia Loroff's Goddesses of the Earth seminar at the Continuum Convention last weekend.https://www.chaosium.com/blogthe-goddesses-of-the-earth-a-glorantha-seminar-writeup-from-continuum-convention-july-2018

The MASKS OF NYARLATHOTEP Gamer Prop Set from our friends the H P Lovecraft Historical Society starts shipping on August 1st. Here's a reason to order it NOW:"PRE-ORDER: Order yours now and we'll ship it to you as soon as it's ready to go (est. Aug 1). Why? Because this special pre-order price is only good until we begin shipping, at which time we can guarantee you the price of this collection will have to increase substantially."

Good move! The elevator pitch for SUN COUNTY is "Spartans in the Wild West". Friendly advice for all posters, especially Gloranthan scholars: let's keep threads where curious newcomers to Glorantha are seeking advice approachable, concise and easily digestable. There are plenty of other threads here to do deep diving into the weeds.

We're going to have these beauties at Gen Con, fresh from the presses and air-shipped direct from our printer in Hong Kong! —RQG leatherette edition, signed by the authors - $100 (20 copies only) —RQG hardback core rules - $55 (200 copies only) And if you've bought the RQG pdf already from Chaosium.com, we'll apply the coupon discount. These are sure to go fast, so if you're coming to Gen Con stop by the Chaosium booth as soon as you can!

Yes, this seems like a great approach to take!

There's a new adventure for CTHULHU CHRONICLES, the official Call of Cthulhu interactive fiction game. The seventh episode in the "Investigations in Lovecraft Country" series is an original scenario that takes you back to college! Cthulhu Chronicles is currently available on iOS devices. MetaArcade is working on an Android version. More details here: https://www.metaarcade.com/blogroll/2018/7/24/discover-the-secrets-of-miskatonic-university

Bear in mind this map only shows the extent of what the inundation would be like without any magical/divine/heroquesting/technological interventions, which might take place in various locations with varying degrees of success. I already have an idea what the Sun Domers of Prax might do to meet the peril. And remember, in the Cave of Serpents at Sacred Ezel the Enervi Sybil gave a prophesy, that one day "the dykes of Esrolia will save the Holy Country".

In an addendum to my recent Grognard Files interview, Dirk the Dice shows the astonishing "sun-chronicity" between where I lived for ten years in the Middle East, and RQ3's SUN COUNTY, the book I wrote ten years before I'd even heard of Abu Dhabi... https://thegrognardfiles.com/2018/07/23/nowthen-mobs-adventures-in-sun-county
