smiorgan Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Chaosium has closed its brick-and-mortar office, and look at this picture of the translocation:https://plus.google.com/u/0/112389437586870813551/posts/D5eecysZKbn?cfem=1&pid=6198432447824214002&oid=112389437586870813551Left of the Pendragon 1st edition box you can see a brown cardboard box marked as "Unpublished Stormbringer Materials". I'm very curious about its contents! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooley1chris Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You know someone just wrote that on there for the picture. Brilliant! LOL.Besides what if they decided to send it to you and you accidentally got the Cockatrice box? 2 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Good sighting, that's kinda like knowing El Dorado exists! I also see that they still have a boxed set of Worlds of Wonder - I think Rick Meints will be doing something with that!

smiorgan Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I hope they do a Worlds of Wonder hardback. Sadly, the Stormbringer material will likely remain unpublished. Just some wild guesses about what could be in there, in the early 1990s Chaosium announced two Stormbringer campaigns that were to remain vaporware forever:River of Tears - of which nothing is knownCastle of Eyes - which was to be set in the world of Penelope Love's eponymous novel, which Chaosium published. You can see the novel in the same picture on the right! I've read somewhere that the novel itself was originally based on Love's own Stormbringer/ RQ Vikings campaign.But maybe it's more recent stuff, likeLoz's Hawkmoon manuscript that Chaosium published only partially as a monograph.The unfinished manuscript of 'Straits of Chaos" - if it ever existed.

tooley1chris Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ben just said on my FB page that they did have some folders with unpublished Stormbringer stuff so I stand corrected. (But it would have been a great cookie joke to include in the pics.) 1 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Bone Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Well seeing that Ben is no longer a Chaosium employee, and I now know no-one in the company (to be honest that's been the truth for a while now) I think it is unlikely that I'll make any progress on this.

Marcus I'd approach Loz about that as he posts in this forum and knows Stormbringer inside-out and is at the same time closely in touch/ working with the new Chaosium.

lawrence.whitaker Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've seen some of the unpublished material and really all I can say is that it was unpublished for a reason. Also, publishing this stuff on the web is going to require the consent of the authors and, in several cases, that has been lost or is out of date. Sadly, it must remain in this mysterious, eldritch state (which is kind of appropriate for Stormbringer, really). 1 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason D Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm fairly certain that Straits of Chaos never reached a state where Chaosium considered it complete and ready for publication. I saw a manuscript for another long-unpublished campaign, but in my opinion it was tonally not right for Stormbringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblintrain Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Lol, i wonder if any of the Stormbringer material i sent to Chaosium back in the 90's is right. And yes, if it is in there, it was nothing worth publishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
