THE PAST YEAR was quite good for Chaosium—we have many authors and artists working away on Horror on the Orient Express (for release soon), the new edition of Call of Cthulhu™, and a plethora of other new releases. The following summarizes and briefly describes a selection of Chaosium releases during the past year, and one that is on its way. Canis Mysterium Canis Mysterium is an adventure scenario for the Call of Cthulhu™ roleplaying system designed to be played in one or more gaming sessions. This scenario is suitable as an introduction to a new campaign or can easily be worked into an established storyline. Call of Cthulhu 7th ed.

We just received the Undead & Unbound epub edition. Undead & Unbound is a book of fiction celebrating those who have returned from the grave — in all their glory and in whatever form they take. You will find the famous blood-drinkers and flesh eaters here, but also ghosts, patched-together reanimates, fiends of myth and folklore, and some not-so-easily-identifiable creatures from beyond the grave. SECRETS OF TIBET pre-order Now at the printer, Secrets of Tibet details information about everyday life in this mysterious and unique country, from the early twentieth century through to more modern times, along with horrific underlying truths. As a holiday bonus, we thought we would allow you to pre-order this book at our special Thanksgiving sale price. PLEASE NOTE: all items accompanying Secrets of Tibet on one order will be shipped together. While we are hopeful of delivery before Christmas, we do not yet have such definitive word from our printer. We had a great Thanksgiving feast! The Folks at Chaosium

Some companies like to celebrate "Black Friday" as that big push to the holidays. Well, here at Chaosium we worship the chance to celebrate our own Big Green Guy, Great Cthulhu, so we thought we would offer a cyclopean, week-long GREEN FRIDAY SALE. Here is your chance to earn rugose savings on books and games throughout our online catalog! Please feel free to browse our eldritch offerings to find the perfect gift for that grizzled little cultist in your life! Shipping Note: We recently completed some work on our catalog website. Along with updating and extending our super-swell security certificate, we updated our US Postal Service shipping module. Our previous module experienced trouble with some overseas orders. This updated module seems spiffy. SUMMARY OF RECENT RELEASES AND CATALOG ADDITIONS Twenty-Thirteen was quite a good year for Chaosium—we have many authors and artists working away on Horror on the Orient Express (for release soon), and we have had a number of great releases along the way.

CANIS MYSTERIUM A Scenario With Bite Constable Clark, of Coldwater Falls, was desperate for attention. He’d been in touch with every sanatorium and hospital from New York to Boston and there’s not an empty bed to be found since the stock market crash last year. They’re full to brimming with suicidal businessmen and investors. He’s holding a man in his jail exhibiting some rather... extraordinary behaviors. The delusion is complete and total — he walks on all fours and he won’t speak a word. They say he even eats out of a bowl and refuses utensils! Not a shred of human behavior left in him. The man attacked a young girl before he was discovered. He was found... well.. gnawing on part of her leg! Canis Mysterium is an adventure scenario for the Call of Cthulhu™ roleplaying system designed to be played in one or more gaming sessions. This scenario is suitable as an introduction to a new campaign or can easily be worked into [...]
