Great review of CDA3 over on RPGNet – reviewer Antonios S says "Cthulhu Dark Ages 3rd Edition is a hell of a book... the research that has been put into it is outstanding, its focus is spot-on, while the interconnection between rules and theme is what every RPG should aspire to. Between Berlin The Wicked City and this, Chaosium has simultaneously produced the best sourcebook and the best setting guide on the market irrespective of RPG."

https://online.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/describing-the-indescribable-keeping-your-monsters-fresh “Each time you present a monster, present it afresh. Make the description intense and visceral. A deep one is never just a deep one. It is a creature from the depths of the sea and old as time itself, a creature whose very presence hits you deep in the gut, repelling humanity in a profound manner causing revulsion and nausea.” —Gamemaster advice from the Malleus Monstrorum, Cthulhu Mythos Bestiary (2020). The easy identification of a monster takes away the mystery and reveals details about the plot. The Call of Cthulhu Mythos brims with otherworldly beings from beyond space and time. Fantasy games like Dungeons and Dragons feature familiar creatures known from decades of play. This PAX Online panel of leading RPG creators and gamemasters discuss how to ensure recurring monsters do not become mundane for your players in any game system. They also seek to answer to the ultimate question, “How Does One Describe Something Supposedly Indescribable?” Saturday September 19th - 11:15 CEST / 14:45 PDT Sunday September 20th - 07:15 AEST Watch on PAX 2 Twitch. Panelists: Mark Morrison @mark_gor [Call of Cthulhu Writer, Campaign Coins] Mike Mason @mikemason [Call of Cthulhu Creative Director, Chaosium] Amanda Hamon @amandahamon [Editorial Director, Kobold Press] Becca Scott @thebeccascott [Good Time Society]

A discussion about the mythology behind Fantasy RPG and how to bring mythic themes into your gaming experiences. The panelists will draw on real world historical mythology (King Arthur Pendragon) and fictional (RuneQuest) as well as mixtures of the two (Nephilim and Call of Cthulhu). Sunday September 13th - 18:45 AEST / 10:45 CEST / 01:45 PDT Watch on PAX 2 Twitch. Merry Borys-Piatkowska @grajkolektyw of Poland's Game Collective interviews Chaosium’s Jeff Richard @richaje and David Larkins @sirlarkins. https://online.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/myth-and-fantasy-gaming

Andrew Logan Montgomery admits that "in the (un)holy trinity of my favorite games, Chaosium's Nephilim Occult roleplaying game might actually be slightly nearer and dearer to my heart than either RuneQuest or Call of Cthulhu." Here he begins an interesting rumination on the game, which is still available in PDF from Chaosium. https://andrewloganmontgomery.blogspot.com/2020/09/nephilim-part-one.html

We discuss how writing for the Jonstown Compendium is a way to "get your foot in the RPG industry door", in this PAX Online panel coming up later this month...

We discuss how writing for the Jonstown Compendium is a way to "get your foot in the RPG industry door", in this PAX Online panel coming up later this month...

Want to write for roleplaying games? Now is the perfect time to get your foot in the industry door with community content programs on DriveThruRPG. The DM’s Guild (Dungeons & Dragons), Miskatonic Repository (Call of Cthulhu), Jonstown Compendium (RuneQuest), Explorers’ Society (7th Sea), and other community content programs are an ideal proving ground for you to hone your writing and creating skills, publish your work, and build an audience. And come to the attention of major publishers like Wizards of the Coast and Chaosium! Wednesday September 16th - 19:30 AEST / 11:30 CEST / 02:30 PDT Watch on PAX 3 Twitch. In this workshop, bestselling DM’s Guild writer M.T. Black @MTBlack2567, DM’s Guild brand manager Lysa Penrose @lysapenrose, and Chaosium vice president Michael O’Brien @Chaosium_Inc take you through the process of creating and publishing community content on DriveThruRPG, and how this led to M.T. Black writing for WotC itself (Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus). https://online.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/get-a-foot-in-the-rpg-industry-door-with-community-content
