Apologies for never responding to anybody's comments. I wasn't expecting this post to explode like it did, and I am grateful, there was just so much to respond to I told myself I would, "Get to it later" and didn't, until now. I am not going to respond to all the comments but I do want to say that there is a ton of thought provoking stuff for me to work through and I will try to address some individual comments sometime. What I am really excited to announce, is that I have finally got a gaming group together to play my Chaosium games (starting off with Runequest.) The thing is, I have been wanting to get a group like this together for a long time, I just had to find the right people, and none of us have ever played any Chaosium games, but last week we had our first session with, "The Broken Tower" so we all still have alot of rules to figure out, but when we do we will go on to Call of Cthulhu, and others from there, and when I feel confident in my ability, and loosely putting together a campaign, I am finally going to play Nephilim, and when I do I will update you on how it goes. Anyway, just wanted to thank you all for your responses, and criticisms too as perhaps it will help me avoid some pitfalls. Cheers! Zulfikar Zaban

I'm not looking to buy them, but I would like to see the covers and the years released. Kind of a retrospective catalog. I know it's perhaps superfluous, but I am just curious of the history.

To whom it may concern, I was just searching around the Chaosium website, looking for old, out of print Chaosium games. I know there are several titles like Ringworld, Elfquest, Stormbringer. I just wish there was some kind of record on there, for posterity, and for my undying curiosity. Anyway, just a recommendation. Thank you Chaosium, I love what you do, Zulfikar Zaban

Hello friends, I am just curious, Call of Cthulhu has packages on Roll20, will Runequest be doing any of their modules on Roll20?

Phil Hibbs, That shall suffice, thank you.

Hello friends, I have a 2 questions (I still have yet to play Runequest, and I am just learning.): 1) Is Heroquest a game you can play within a Runequest campaign, or does it have to be played as a separate game? 2) If Runequest is a very deadly game, and the characters take hours to role-up, do you tend to go through a lot of characters and have to make new ones often, or do they not die often, because you often avoid conflict because it's more dangerous? Thank You, Zulfikar Zaban

I really love these videos, and would love to see more sometime if you guys are up for it. Just like to learn more about the world of Glorantha, or perhaps some more live play games.

Why is the Gloranthan Sourcebook not available to "Add to Cart"?

I find the concepts of "Nephilim: Occult Roleplaying" very intriguing, beyond just being a game. The Nephilim game ties many elements together, and it can be allot to juggle, but it is a game that expands. You can read of Ahkenaten and Zoroaster and the other historical figures (and a-historical) in the game supplements, it you can go to the library and learn about those figures and cultures in depth. I think to really "get" the game, it helps to not just read the supplements to the game itself, but the books it references. Off into the ever weaving paths of the great occulted library labrynthine. Perhaps that is just the character of the angel manifest. Perhaps it is just speculation, after all, "this game is not Real, You are."

I have never actually played any Chaosium games. Years ago my cousin told me about the Nephilim game and I was very Intrigued by the concept, so eventually I collected them all and read them all, but could never get anyone to play, at all. I've also heard about Call of Cthulhu a bunch over the years, but have yet to play it. I'm hoping to but the starter set soon. I also bought Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, but don't think I'll probably be able to play that for a while, although I am really excited to delve into that world. Pendragon is another one I am very curious about, as I am very interested in Grail mythology and have studied about it for years. Although I have never played any Chaosium games, I very much enjoy Chaosium games.

I think this is the main and most common complaint I have read about the game, and I agree. I think I would want to change it a little bit, make it more like a symbiotic relationship with the human and the Nephilim that is incarnating it or something. Like the human at the different incarnation periods is having a sort of Awakening to their new powers, not just a complete body take over like flesh puppets.

Unfortunately no. I know that it's still popular there. Wish I could get a translated version. Maybe I need to try to learn.

I was late to the game on this one and the few remarks I can find about it are like, "and then, you all know what happened..." I suspect it was something like Chaosium had high hopes set on it and they released it and it was crickets, because the only person who I ever meet who played it was my cousin when he was going to MIT. Other than that, it's crickets. I'm hoping to play in the future, maybe change some things, or add elements of Mythras/Mythic into it. I really like the idea of characters playing in different times and going through a transformation. Just curious where I can find more information/old articles? Thoughts, reflections appreciated. Thank you.

My friends and I are hoping to start a game of Nephilim in the future. I bought the books 20 years ago and never found anyone to play. Hope to sometime in the future.
