A new monograph of adventures for Basic Roleplaying, and a download of upcoming adventures for Call of Cthulhu: Mission to Epsilon The Intergalactic Federation encompasses a region of space hundreds of light years across. Flare Teams are rapid response units of the Intergalactic Federation. Patrolling assigned sectors of IGF space in small starships, they respond to distress calls and render whatever assistance is possible. Their mandate includes humanitarian relief, technical assistance, emergency medical care, rescue, law enforcement, and military duties. You are part of a Flare Team. You travel light and are trained to deal with nearly every conceivable situation. You might go long periods without receiving an emergency call—but when your subspace radio detects a call your Team must respond immediately. However, resources of the IGF are spread thin. A Flare Team is always on its own, and is expected to overcome whatever challenges it may encounter. Teams know that there is no back-up—assistance from the IGF might take months to arrive. The Adventures [...]

While we wrangle with the printer on the print version of Call of Cthulhu, we’ve been at work getting a number of other projects completed. Our project backers should have seen some of this information and, at the least, have gotten a code for a free download of Cthulhu Through The Ages. If you are a backer and have not gotten this code or these notes, please let us know. ALONE AGAINST THE FLAMES This is a solo adventure for the Call of Cthulhu game, and a return to a type of product we released in our early years. This is a horror story set in the 1920s where you are the main character, and your choices determine the outcome. It is also designed to lead you through the basic rules of the game in a gradual and entertaining fashion. Although most such adventures are played with your friends, this one is just for you. Before you begin to play, make sure you have a [...]

For about six to eight weeks we have been slaving away in the game mines, hand-crafting Horror on the Orient Express for our backers, and roughing-up those few suppliers who have not yet gotten product to us. In fact, our warehouse guys were in here on New Year's day keeping up with the collating! While offering our backers there choice of passports from among the six we had created for the game was fun, it slowed our assembly of the shipping packages. Nonetheless, the demand for Horror on the Orient Express has been great. We know that it took us a long time to get this luxury campaign released, but everyone who has gotten their copy raves about the contents, the storyline, and the pudginess of the box. There have been some great reviews, too, at some of the on-line magazines. Just Posted In all the hustle-and-bustle of the holidays, we failed to post the free PDF version of the Orient Express handouts (Book VI [...]

Everyone here at Chaosium wishes you and yours a fabulous Christmas and New Year's. We deeply appreciate your support. — Charlie, Greg, Sandy, Meghan, Dustin, Nick, Mike, Ken, Bill, and various curious others. We are now shipping a number of items that we wanted to update you about. Shipping for Christmas We are shipping Horror on the Orient Express. We have been sending backer copies for a couple of weeks, and have gotten some great reviews. As it turns out in the final tally, our Kickstarter backers secured their copies of this massive 1100+ page campaign for Call of Cthulhu at half-price; we offered it to our backers during the Kickstarter campaign for $60 — and our final retail price is $119.95. Little did we know then that the end result would be so massive. Neither did the authors, who took quite a bit longer than anticipated to write the various additions, scenarios, and the integration of the Investigator Survival guide. Of paticular note, care [...]

Our favorite time of year can also be yours! It's Halloween, and time for a Chaosium Halloween Sale!

We are offering a HUGE DISCOUNT of 25$ OFF Chaosium titles, gewgaws, knick-knacks, and what-not throughout our online catalog.

Orders including pre-ordered items will ship once all items are [...]

Wow. That was a heck of a weekend. A lot happened and loads of games were played. The Play to win section saw a LOT of rotation with Run, Fight or Die being the Game of the Con followed by Eight Minute Empire, Zombies Keep Out and Nile Deluxor. Loads of new players tried them all out while the tournament players were doing the Blitz and MTG booster drafts. Flames of War demos were given, the vendors were peddling their goods and taking breaks in the Play to Win (which made everyone quite happy), many people were rendered dead or insane (or both) in Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu and many a FRENZY was heard throughout the main hall in Circus Imperium. The Canada at Midnight LARP players meandered the upper halls with an extra guest :) and LOTS of pictures were taken of the swag that was sponsored and given away to winners and players alike. Check the gallery shortly. I'll get to loading them [...]

A short note this time around. We are working hard to polish up the new edition of Call of Cthulhu before sending it off to the printer while we await arrival of parts for Horror on the Orient Express. Since our last newsletter we have a few new products; one of which is FREE! First, we received on our doorstep a little bundle of joy — the latest issue of THE UNSPEAKABLE OATH (#24)! The magazine is full of goodness for the Call of Cthulhu player, and we have them in stock. Secondly, we posted the MAGIC WORLD QUICK-START pdf. This free download is a great introduction to Magic World, our fantasy RPG offering high-magic, wizards, demons, and weapons: all that swell stuff that makes roleplaying so much fun. Finally, we have two related items: the MIGHTY CTHULHU PRINT DICE BAG and the MIGHTY CTHULHU PRINT BANDANA. These are limited-quantity items crafted in the South Pacific at great hazard to mortal mind and soul. NOTE: [...]
