Mid June!

KHAN OF KHANS is now live on Kickstarter—the battle begins on the Plains of Prax! Our card game is fun and fast, and an ideal family game for ages 9+. The Kickstarter campaign runs from January 10 - January 31, and we'd love your support. We are looking for tribal members to take up the challenge and lead their tribe to glory—Wa-ha!

Here's a new RQ design notes from Jeff! http://www.chaosium.com/blog/designing-the-new-runequest-part-12/

The new printing of The Guide comes in a slipcase, but we have empty slipcases available if you'd like one for your original version: http://www.chaosium.com/slipcase-for-the-guide-to-glorantha/

Esports pros to guest star on 'Elementary' 'Elementary' writer and producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe is a long-time RuneQuest fan. According to the article linked above, an upcoming episode will also feature some "personal references to RuneQuest"! Elementary is a great show—I once binged-watched an entire season of it on a 36 hour international flight—and this will be an episode to look out for RQ stuff like what was slipped into Star Trek: Deep Space-9.

The Harlem Unbound Kickstarter is now in its final week, and has done very well - still time to back it:

A great video review of The Haunting here:

Dean at Cthulhu Reborn reviews all releases for Call of Cthulhu during 2016: it was a big year for Chaosium, and there was some great stuff from licensees too. With so much in the pipeline, 2017 promises to be an even bigger year across the board! https://cthulhureborn.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/2016-cthulhus-year-in-review

Our friends Dark Cult Games launched a new licensed Call of Cthulhu sandbox-style adventure module on Kickstarter yesterday - check it out!

A no-text version of the Cults of Terror cover would be awesome but unfortunately we don't have those publication rights to do that for this particular artwork.

"Thanks to EVERYONE who thought this was a worthwhile pursuit, and for then waiting patiently for almost five years to see this come to fruition. Your encouragement meant everything!" - a message from R.J. Ivankovic, creator of H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu for Beginning Readers, available now from Chaosium.

Unfortunately for this particular artwork our rights agreement means we can only offer the cover as originally presented, which includes the text. That is a good idea. At the moment, the maps exist as two separate files. They would have to be merged together.

CULTS OF PRAX and CULTS OF TERROR - these two game-changing (we mean this literally!) RPG supplements for RuneQuest Classic are both now available for purchase by download at Chaosium.com. And if you buy the PDFs now, you'll get a discount on the printed books when they become available for sale at our webstore later this year. http://www.chaosium.com/runequest

As announced by Rick elsewhere, we have squeaked in Cults of Prax and Cults of Terror on the last day of 2016 as downloads for the RQ Classic KS backers. They will be available for purchase on www.chaosium.com shortly as well.

...now available in the Classic Covers section of the Chaosium Redbubble store: http://rdbl.co/2iRXdHd

Yep, this is definitely not a lampoon. Chaosium pretty restricts that sort of thing to "Cthulhu for President" every four years. It's also not a reskinning of a Dr. Seuss story, nor does it use any Dr Seuss characters, storylines or images. While R.J. Ivankovic was influenced by Theodor Geisel's amazing artwork (his use of non-Euclidian geometry was visually second to nobody, after all) we also acknowledge the influence of Shel Silverstein, Jules Feiffer, Maurice Sendak, and every other sanity-damaging children's book illustrator of our youth (and also Clement Clarke Moore for his popularization of anapestic tetrameter).

This is a great article, but regarding the G&S headline "Call of Cthulhu now a Seuss book", we just want to make very clear H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu for Beginning Readers is NOT a derivative "Dr. Seuss book" repackaged with Mythos themes—this is H. P. Lovecraft's classic short story "The Call of Cthulhu" reimagined as a children's book. It is not a reskinning of a Dr. Seuss story. It contains entirely original art (obviously influenced by Theodor Geisel's style but not derivative of any Geisel piece), and is Lovecraft's original 1928 story seamlessly and gracefully retold in anapestic tetrameter by “genius poet-artist” RJ Ivankovic. We don't want anyone to purchase this book thinking this is something other than what it is! http://geekandsundry.com/call-of-cthulhu-now-a-seuss-book-and-its-terrifying/

We'll have rules up in French, German and Spanish very soon!

Glad you liked it!

Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition has come to Fantasy Grounds, the popular virtual tabletop where you can play your favourite RPGs with your friends online! Our friends at Fantasy Grounds say that after a year of development, the new rule set is complete and ready to roll out. The ruleset itself has been massively overhauled and is no mere update to the existing CoC 6E ruleset—the result is fantastic! Are you ready to test your sanity? Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition for Fantasy Grounds is available now! This ruleset contains the core rules, background, guidance, spells, and monsters of the game. It is intended for use by the Keeper of Arcane Lore (the Keeper) — that player who will present the adventure to the other players. It also contains two starter adventures.
