Well, a week ago our printer dropped-off a new supply of our Call of Cthulhu rulebook. They also gave us a delivery date of April 4th for Cthulhu by Gaslight, a legendary Chaosium title. We have added the print version of Cthulhu by Gaslight to our catalog; we will ship orders including that book as soon as it is delivered to our warehouse. Here is an updated Cthulhu by Gaslight PDF along with separate files for the new Gaslight character sheet and the transit map of 1890s London. TALES OF CONGRESSIONAL SPACE Over the last year or so, Chaosium's steadfast editors have worked to increase the number of titles we have in the works, so that we can more predictably get titles released on schedule. Among these projects is an effort to offer fiction in other genres. A Long Way Home: Tales of Congressional Space tells the story of a young farm boy from a rustic world who accidentally gets involved in a firefight involving [...]

As promised, we have recently released. These include Friday, Power Grid: First Sparks, Power Grid: the Robots, and Puerto Rico Anniversary Edition, (which we have sold out of - as it was a limited edition, we will not reprint it). The German publishers have delayed other games we planned to release and printers and we expect to release them in a few weeks. These include Upon a Salty Ocean, South Pole, and Stone Age: Style is the Goal. We will also soon be releasing Lamborghini, Leader: Hell of the North, Hawaii, and Last Will. For Dominion, we still plan to release a digital version early this year. We are also planning to release a set of all base cards (treasure, victory, and curse) that players can use to replace used cards from the base game or Dominion: Intrigue, or to use with the expansions that do not include these base cards. The planned release for this product is March of 2012. We have changed the schedule a bit and will [...]

Hobbits, Spiderman, Jason Bourne and the Dark Knight are all back on the big screen this year Published Monday January 2nd, 2012 BY JAY STONE POSTMEDIA NEWS Last year at this time, we were talking about all the upcoming movies that have numbers after the titles: 2011 was going to be a year of sequels. Well, looking over the 2012 slate, what do we find but a lot of movies with numbers after the titles, including Wanted, Journey, Scary Movie, Men in Black, Madagascar, Step Up, G.I. Joe, Clash of the Titans, Hitman, The Expendables, Paranormal Activity, Taken, and The Twilight Saga. And that's not counting the new Ghost Rider, Resident Evil and Die Hard movies. Yes, it's deja vu all over again, a sequel of sequels, but what are you going to do? In Hollywood, familiarity breeds content. Fortunately, we don't have to travel that road. There is much to look forward to next year: a Spider-Man reboot, a new Batman, another Bourne, and [...]
