That is up to the creators. They set the price (which could be free or "pay what you want") and the format.

MoNeart Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have seen the guidelines, what I have not been able to find is the indesign templates and art, if you know of a location, a little help as to where would be found would be greatly appreciated.

Sean_RDP Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Looks great. And the template at first glance looks like a joy to use. Will know more once I actually use it of course, but so far so good. 1 Quote Its 2300hrs, do you know where your super dreadnoughts are? http://reigndragonpressblog.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Nyarlathotep Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I am proud to present, after entirely too long (my fault!), the launch of my first officially licensed Call of Cthulhu product: Jasper St. Jones Got the Pretties Bones: A Shortcut of Supernaturalism. Want a scenario but don't have the time or energy for a full thirty-to-sixty page writeup? Need a standalone scenario, a jumping off point for a new campaign, or an adventure to fit into your current campaign? Just looking for inspiration? The Shortcuts of Supernaturalism have you covered! An entire scenario in less than 3,000 words, complete with stats, and all at an affordable price! http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/229466/Shortcut-of-Supernaturalism-Jasper-St-Jones-Got-The-Prettiest-Bones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentinelHillPress Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I notice that several of the first wave of Misk. Rep. submissions are set in Arkham ("classic" or modern) and that has inspired me to make the following offering: Quote Are you thinking of submitting a scenario to Chaosium’s Miskatonic Repository program? Is it set in Lovecraft Country? I would like to offer my assistance as an expert on Chaosium’s Lovecraft Country setting to anyone who is working on a submission to the Miskatonic Repository program. As the editor of the Arkham Gazette I think I know Arkham, Kingsport, Dunwich, Innsmouth (and more) as well as anyone and I’d like to put that specialized knowledge to the use of the wider Call of Cthulhu community. What I offer: Extensive knowledge of established setting materials (and scenarios). Why invent a pharmacy for Arkham when there’s already Bryant’s Apothecary (A-441A) and a Walgreens (701)? (Yes, I do have a an index of all the numbered locations and I’m happy to share.) I’ll also give you a heads-up if you’re covering similar ground to a previous scenario. I can also point you towards scenarios that might be of interest. Familiarity with the fictional sources that inspired Keith Herber and Kevin Ross (and others) in their development of Lovecraft Country. I can point you towards the story where, for example, the Larkin Institute (A-902 by the way) was mentioned, or in which story Lovecraft described the Old Wooded Graveyard (A-405). Expertise in New England folklore in history and suggestions on how to tie your scenario into those source of Lovecraft’s inspiration. While I don’t know every detail of New England history, I can at least direct you to a good source or two for you if you need to know more about, say, mining or the Massachusetts State Police. Very general feedback. I’m happy to give my general impression but I won’t edit your scenario (see below). What I’m not offering: Proofreading. Detailed scenario feedback. Editing work. What I ask: A copy of the PDF when the scenario or project is released. A thanks to ‘Sentinel Hill Press’ in the credits. If you're interested, PM me here or send an email to arkhamgazettemagazine@gmail.com 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) The Weapons and Relics Art Pack features 46 FREE illustrations of hand-to-hand weapons, firearms, or Mythos artefacts which you are welcome to include in your Miskatonic Repository creations.

MOB Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) We've been featuring the six special Art Packs for the Miskatonic Repository, Chaosium's new community content program for creators to publish and distribute their own original Call of Cthulhu material. The last is the Ill Omens Art Pack. Marco Monte's 46 images each offer an inspiration for all manner of odd, calamitous, or dire situations for players to find themselves in. You are welcome to use these - and the images from our other six Art Packs - for FREE in your Miskatonic Repository creations.
