Sorry, there are more Lightbringers than physical copies of P:GtA left, so not enough in stock to warrant putting it on sale.

More of Loïc Muzy's magnificent work-in-progress from the MALLEUS MONSTRORUM, due out later this year. Seen here, Courtier of the King in Yellow, Avatar of Nyarlathotep (the Bloody Tongue), Scarecrow.

Moving these comments from the BRP OGL questions thread, where questions are to responded to by Chaosium staff (Rick, Jason, MOB, Jeff, etc):

Introducing the Questworlds System Reference Document (SRD), a roleplaying rules engine suitable for you to play across multiple genres. QuestWorlds is a rules-light RPG system that facilitates beginning play easily, and resolves conflicts in play quickly. It features an abstract, conflict-based, resolution method and scalable, customizable, character descriptions. Designed to emulate the way characters in fiction face and overcome challenges, it is suitable for a wide variety of genres and play styles. "QuestWorlds is meant to facilitate your creativity, and then to get out of your way", said Chaosium's QuestWorlds line editor Ian Cooper. "It encourages creative input from your players, resulting in an exciting, unpredictable narrative created through group collaboration." Genre Packs Chaosium is keen to encourage publishers and fans to create genre packs using the QuestWorlds engine. The first step is the release of the SRD for the system. This will be followed up by Chaosium with its own line of Worlds of Wonder genre packs as examples of what is possible with the system. Other publishers and creators may also use the QuestWorlds system, royalty-free. The QuestWorlds Systems Reference Document (SRD) contains the Questworlds Open Game Licence (QOGL) content for Chaosium’s QuestWorlds role-playing game. This means that you can create your own content derived from QuestWorlds, provided that you comply with the terms of the QOGL, as outlined in the SRD. Cosmic Zap For the first of the new Worlds of Wonder genre packs for the QuestWorlds system we are fortunate to have enlisted Diana Jones Award-winning designer and theorist Ron Edwards, creator of the influential and acclaimed Sorcerer RPG. Ron was an early champion of the Hero Wars engine and is a huge fan of the superhero genre, so we asked him to combine his two passions in a genre pack called Cosmic Zap. Ron Edwards says: “If they were going to get Ron Edwards, they were going to get something else - and what I see is this. HeroQuest (QuestWorlds) is the only role-playing system dedicated to trippy mythic fantasy, its roots firmly embedded in West Coast counter-culture no matter how many gamers try to [muck] that up. And therefore it is the only role-playing system that can be dedicated to trippy cosmic superheroes, and in this case, no matter how many consumer-fans of TV & movies try to [muck] that up either.” You can find Ron’s exploration of the Cosmic Zap genre of superheroes over at his blog, Adept Play. Version History These rules originated in 2000 as Hero Wars by Robin Laws. A revised edition was published as HeroQuest in 2003, and a new second edition in 2009. In 2015 HeroQuest Glorantha by Robin Laws and Jeff Richard set the HeroQuest rules in Greg Stafford’s world of Glorantha. QuestWorlds, released as an SRD in 2020, once again makes the rules engine generic, suitable for play across a myriad of genres. Please note: the Questworlds Open Game License for use of the Questworlds Roleplaying system differs from the Wizards Open Game License and has different terms and conditions.

Today, Chaosium has opened a new fulfilment warehouse in Canada. This warehouse is in addition to the existing Chaosium fulfilment centres in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland. "We've been planning a warehouse north of the border for some time, as our many Canadian fans have found the cost of shipping from the United States to Canada to be prohibitive", said Chaosium COO Neil Robinson. For now, a limited selection of core products is available in the Canadian warehouse, but this will be expanded soon. Please note we cannot split orders across warehouses. So do check the product inventory locations before you add to your cart. COVID 19 PANDEMIC: despite the COVID-19 situation, all five Chaosium warehouses are currently operational and able to safely ship product. Chaosium has been regularly updating customers with shipping and fulfilment information: the latest update is here.

COVID-19 Shipping and Fulfilment Update - April 17 We hope that you, your family, and your friends continue to be in good health. Last week we were interviewed by ENWorld about the impact that the shutdown of Alliance/Diamond Distributors has had on our business. As we mentioned in that article, Alliance is one of our biggest distributors to game stores, so this does affect us directly, and we appreciate that game stores everywhere are hurting right now too. Game stores can order directly from us though, without going through a distributor. Any store that wants to consider that is welcome to get in touch with Dustin, our distributor and retail support specialist: dustin@chaosium.com. Fortunately, we are still able to ship products that you order directly from us via our website Chaosium.com. Our own fulfilment warehouses (USA, UK, Australia, EU) are operating as normal, though delivery times may be slower than usual. The only countries we can't presently ship to are Norway, Switzerland, and Ukraine. Our Chaosium merchandise store at Redbubble is also printing and shipping as normal. And remember that buying electronic versions of our products from Chaosium.com or DriveThruRPG is of course, unaffected. If you buy a PDF direct from Chaosium, you get the full price of the PDF off the printed book if you decide to buy it later. We will announce any changes to our shipping and fulfilment status as the situation continues to unfold. We are continuing to roll out fun things to help keep you entertained at home. Most recently, we released the first in our free fiction, a Miskatonic University tale by Molly Tanzer, along with free virtual backdrops to liven up your online gaming sessions on Zoom and the like. We are also running our RuneQuest coloring competition. Meanwhile, our YouTube Channel continues to show Call of Cthulhu actual play and more. On behalf of the whole Chaosium team, wishing everyone all the best until the Stars are Right again. — Rick Meints, president Chaosium Inc.

April 30th.

Now's a great time to get in some dedicated reading, so we're adding Free Fiction to the Chaosium website. The first tale is THE DEDUCTIVE METHOD - A Miskatonic University Tale by Molly Tanzer. This was commissioned especially for Chaosium’s Miskatonic University: The Restricted Collection board game Kickstarter, and released exclusively to backers in late 2018. Here it is now available as a free download. We'll add more free stories in coming days and weeks - enjoy! "Graduate programs at any university are a grind, a perpetually uphill marathon that exhaust even the most brilliant scholar. At Miskatonic University, the perils facing the unsuspecting grad students include far darker, stranger things than cutthroat departmental politics and shrinking financial aid. This Simcha discovers when she takes up a predatory professor's offer of access to an unpublished Sherlock Holmes tale penned by the consulting detective's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle." https://www.chaosium.com/fiction-free

An excellent answer though.
