EN World also started and hosts the ENnie Awards. Not sure what happened there but have hidden the double!

Lynne Hardy has heard the Call of Cthulhu... welcome to the team! https://www.chaosium.com/blog/lynne-hardy-joins-the-chaosium-team-as-call-of-cthulhu-assistant-editor/ Chaosium welcomes British RPG writer and editor Lynne Hardy as Assistant Editor for the Call of Cthulhu line. Lynne has extensive experience in the game industry, having worked as an editor and writer for Nightfall Games, Cubicle 7, Pelgrane Press, Green Ronin, and Modiphius Entertainment where she was line editor for the Achtung! Cthulhu line. She is also the designer of her own ENnie-nominated steampunk game: Cogs, Cakes & Swordsticks. "I’m very pleased to have Lynne working with me on the Call of Cthulhu line", said Call of Cthulhu line editor Mike Mason."I’ve worked with Lynne on a number of projects, including the Masks of Nyarlathotep revision, and she brings an impressive array of skills and knowledge to bear, as well as a wealth of experience. All of which will stand her in good stead in supporting the development of our games and books." Alongside her editorial work, Lynne is putting the final touches to her new Call of Cthulhu campaign - The Children of Fear.

EN World has a poll up for 'Most Anticipated RPGs of 2018" and one of the options is RQG: http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?4740-Voting-Is-Open-For-Most-Anticipated-RPG-of-2018!#.WiqN_ROCyT8 The poll closes on Friday, 15th December, 2017.

This is what various reviewers have said about Masks over the years. Click on the links for the full account of what they say. "...widely considered one of the best RPG adventures ever made" —Gizmodo. ...a milestone for Call of Cthulhu and for RPG campaigns. It expanded our ideas of what roleplaying game adventures could be and raised the standards for the industry and the RPG art form."—The New York Review of Science Fiction. "...the holy grail of horror, and in my opinion the best, most frightening, atmospheric, awesomely realized campaign for any game."—Dennis Detwiller (Delta Green). "...probably the single most celebrated campaign ever created for Chaosium’s unhallowed-groundbreaking Call of Cthulhu RPG. Recipient of a Best Roleplaying Adventure award, Masks of Nyarlathotep remains, as its credits declare, “a roleplaying classic,” over two decades after its first appearance in 1984."—The Lovecraft e-Zine. "Hands down, the greatest RPG ever designed is Sandy Petersen’s Call of Cthulhu... and Masks of Nyarlathotep (would) have to be in anyone’s top five (scenarios)."—Ken Hite (Trail of Cthulhu, Vampire). "Masks of Nyarlathotep is considered by a great many gamers – including the author of this review – to be the pinnacle of commercially produced adventures. It has become the yardstick by which other scenarios are often measured."—Flames Rising. "If you are looking for an adventure that will keep your players (and their characters) busy for months, the opportunity to save the world while fighting off legions of cultists (in proper Call of Cthulhu fashion), or you simply want to see why so many people consider this one of, if not THE, greatest adventures for an RPG system ever written, then go purchase Masks of Nyarlathotep the second you get done reading this. This will easily be the most intense, as well as the most memorable, published adventure you’ll ever experience. Just get it. Just get it and experience it. That’s all I can really say."—DieHardGameFan.com. "a masterclass in adventure design"—Bell of Lost Souls. "Even if you have never played Call of Cthulhu, it’s a masterclass in adventure design and worth checking out"—Bell of Lost Souls. "Now, for the uninitiated, Mask of Nyarlathotep is probably the War & Peace of Call of Cthulhu, if not of the whole horror gaming genre. Granted, Beyond the Mountains of Madness is bigger, and Horror on the Orient Express is probably creepier, but for globe-trotting variety, implied menace, cast of characters and locations, plot intricacies and sheer gaming goodness, Masks of Nyarlathotep remains a classic, sort of the standard against which Call of Cthulhu scenarios are evaluated."—Karavansara

Looks like we should get Welsh up here too!

And the winner is... Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition was named "Best RPG" at the 3rd Annual Beasts of War Awards yesterday: https://www.chaosium.com/blog/call-of-cthulhu-7th-edition-wins-best-rpg-at-3rd-annual-beasts-of-war-awards/

As our friends at Cubicle 7 announced today, by mutual agreement with Chaosium, Cubicle 7's Call of Cthulhu license is winding up at the end of the year. Over the period of the license C7 produced top-notch Call of Cthulhu material, bringing the Mythos to the British Isles and WW2, winning a well-deserved slew of awards and critical acclaim. No doubt C7 will continue to delight fans in the new directions they are taking, and we wish the C7 team well! https://www.chaosium.com/blog/call-of-cthulhu-and-cubicle-7/

At the risk of escalating stories of just how bad we had it way back when... I started playing RuneQuest before we even owned the rules. This was in 1979 and I was 13. All we had was the original Apple Lane booklet. We had to take our nascent but avid experience with DnD and try to work out how to play from the stat blocks, but it was enough to get us hooked!

"Looking forward to being killed by Sandy Petersen" and other features the adventures in PETERSEN'S ABOMINATIONS have in common...

Me too!

Don't forget, the new version has an extra chapter (Peru!), more background extra bits throughout on guidance for Pulp etc, and loads more art and maps than previous editions. Rather than one very big thick book we decided on two volumes in a slipcase as more practical and attractive.

A progress update from Mike Mason about the new edition, including some of the new art in progress: https://www.chaosium.com/blog/masks-of-nyarlathotep-update-the-fate-of-the-carlyle-expedition/ (w-i-p)

Aerial defense towers were a thing after the Dragonkill War though...
