The Stars Are Right: New Chaosium delivers on Kickstarter Promise When Greg Stafford and Sandy Petersen returned to take over the reins at Chaosium in June last year, they announced that fulfilling the much-delayed Call of Cthulhu 7th edition Kickstarter was their key priority. This also became the first priority of the new management team from Moon Design Publications (Rick Meints, Jeff Richard, Neil Robinson, Michael O'Brien) who joined the Chaosium ownership in July. Finally then, the stars are right: on April 10, the last of the four shipments of Call of Cthulhu being sent around the world arrived at its destination! Once the cargos clear customs, distribution centres in the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK will begin sending Kickstarter backers their rewards at last. "It's been a long and challenging road getting to where we are now, but the physical editions look and feel wonderful", said Rick Meints, Chaosium president. In a Kickstarter update last October, Meints let frustrated backers know that [...]

Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Wars Onslaught Two Kickstarter is about to enter its final day, so don't miss your chance to back this incredibly exciting campaign! So far the Kickstarter has been a phenomenal success - funding in 11 minutes and reaching over 1000% funded (so far!) - energizing the fan base and creating a great deal of interest. With over 31 Stretch Goals unlocked so far, anyone who pledges over $150 now receives a heap of great figures, along new gameplay and rules. This, along with materials for a homebrew faction for players who want to make their own unique group, means the gameplay is limitless! These next 30 hours will be very exciting, so join in while you can and help bring all of the Stretch Goals!

Printing has Commenced! Presses rolling for Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed Last Friday, Chaosium President Rick Meints was delighted to inform our Call of Cthulhu Kickstarter backers that the presses have now started rolling! Printing has commenced on the internal pages, with printing of the covers to start next week. The printing process will take at least 6 weeks. Shipping from Hong Kong to our fulfillment centers in the US, Europe, and Australia begins immediately thereafter. We're looking at setting up links to "follow the shipping containers as they sail across the ocean" as other Kickstarters have done. Meanwhile, we haven't forgotten about the other stretch goal rewards, curiosity shoppe add-ons, and their status - Rick will be sending further updates to the Kickstarter backers soon. And - because we know our backers love to see progress in photos more than words - courtesy of the printers, here are some more mock-ups we shared including a demo Keeper Screen and the Slipcase: Supporting Prince of [...]

Happy 125th Birthday H. P. Lovecraft! Howard Philips Lovecraft was born 125 years ago today in Providence, Rhode Island. The grandson of the magnificently named Whipple Van Buren Philips, the stars were evidently in the right conjunction on his birth for Lovecraft to conjure tales of cosmic menace, forbidden knowledge, and of the mythos we all so enjoy. So get the shoggoth to make a cake, ask Nyarlahotep to send the invitations, and have Azathoth provide the entertainment - it's H. P. Lovecraft's birthday! The New Chaosium! At GenCon, Chaosium company founder Greg Stafford and long-time creative force Sandy Petersen announced that Moon Design Publications - the team responsible for the revival of Glorantha through the award-winning Guide to Glorantha and - have taken over the management of Chaosium. The new Chaosium team is: Rick Meints - President, Head of Production Jeff Richard - Vice President, Creative Director and Licensing Michael O'Brien - Vice President, Product Development and Community Outreach Neil Robinson - Chief Financial [...]

GREG STAFFORD & SANDY PETERSEN RETURN TO CHAOSIUM INC. While we wanted the Kickstarter backers to hear this directly from us first, we also wanted all of you, the faithful, to get this information as soon as possible. Here is what we sent out. More very soon. We have pressed the reset button. In 1975 Chaosium started out as a quirky boutique game company. We were all about creativity, artistry and craftsmanship. With every game we vowed to provide you with new realms of imagination and entertainment. Over the last few years we forgot that, and lost our way. The Great Old Ones have Returned… Greg Stafford, founder of Chaosium and creative force during its heyday, is now President. Sandy Petersen, world renowned game designer who brought Cthulhu into the light three decades ago, has rejoined the team as well. Greg says: "Chaosium is part of my legacy. My intent is to restore it to its rightful place in the world of gaming. Something we [...]
