PULP CTHULHU and DOORS TO DARKNESS in Hardback - Available Now! http://www.chaosium.com/blog/pulp-cthulhu-and-doors-to-darkness-in-hardback-available-now/

It's been done before, more than once

I guess I am suggesting that (if true - Knights have been despatched to find out) some exiles wandered in the fog, and Time passed differently for them, and they emerged at the advent of the Kingdom of War, seeking vengeance on those who drove them away. As it says in the Guide (p.145): "The barriers which formed between lands were usually visible as a pale grey haze which thickened to a dense fog. Sometimes people went in and never came out. One bold Loskalmi expedition marched east through the haze upon a bleak plain for five weeks. They bore food for two and a half weeks, marking the time with a special device. Exhausted and starving survivors turned about to struggle home and found themselves at their starting point in hours."

You can still be "exiled"/forcibly disappeared under the Ban, you just don't come back. And that could be an evil secret at the heart of the so-called perfect Loskalmi society under the Ban... The Loskalmi senior leadership is gravely perturbed by confidential intelligence reports from the front lines against the Kingdom of War—some fighters seen in the opposite ranks appear to be from among those who were secretly cast into the grey fog during the Ban. Some of these should be long dead, or elderly by now. Knights have been dispatched to try take some of these returned exiles as prisoners (or at least bring back heads), so they can be properly identified, either by relatives or magical means.

Here's the trailer- No doubt the late Keith 'Doc' Herber would be proud to see his creation up there with the other plays they've made based on the original mythos works of HPL:

One of Chaosium's most thrilling game supplements — Keith Herber's The Fungi From Yuggoth — has been adapted into a fully dramatized 1930s-style radio drama. And, inspired by the game upon which it is based, this production features four different endings! Dark Adventure Radio Theatre's THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BEAST is available now as a 3 CD set or digital download. And there's the incredible Deluxe Edition, featuring six pounds (!) of props... Available here: https://store.hplhs.org/products/dark-adventure-radio-theatre-the-brotherhood-of-the-beast

We know some people say Facebook is evil - its autotranslate certainly has had some Occult skill training... [From the comments thread of our recent 'Cthulhu for President' post... http://bit.ly/cthulhuforpresident]

AetherCon, the online convention, is coming up Nov 11-13, and in this panel I'll be talking about BRP - the core of Chaosium's roleplaying game systems (and the first to use skills based upon the d100 mechanic). Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest and most of our other RPG lines use BRP as the basis of their rules. So once you’ve learned to play one of these, you've learned to play the others. (But you guys know this)

The Coming Storm hardback goes on sale at www.chaosium.com tomorrow (Wed Nov 2nd EST). If you bought the PDF earlier, you'll be getting a special coupon to credit you.

The Dhole's House is a free 'online toolkit' for both Keepers and players of Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, developed by long-time fan Lee Carnell.

All Investigators are saved and can be updated via the 'Character Control Panel' as the campaign unfolds. Site members can also contribute to a Character Library, allowing anyone to download PDF character sheets for Call of Cthulhu investigators for use as PCs or NPCs. The Library is searchable by occupation and gender. The Keeper section of the Library includes a handout generator for quick creation of in-game artefacts including three different types of telegram, visiting/business cards, newspaper clippings and calendars.
