Greetings to all our Patient Backers,
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 provided 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 can all take pride in, and something that fans will look forward to.Where 'what’s next?' is answered with 'I can’t wait'."
The Stars are Right…
Sandy says: "I am excited to return to active participation in the Call of Cthulhu line, and I’m eagerly looking forward to working directly with Greg again. We are Chaosium's original team from the 1980s. My first focus is going to be the Call of Cthulhu 7th edition Kickstarter campaign."
Our main plan is simple (but will be a lot of work):
Quickly sift and sort through the current company problems
Immediately ship the remaining Horror on the Orient Express backer rewards
Focus on the Call of Cthulhu 7th edition Kickstarter backer rewards
Return to regularly making awesome new games.
We offer new hope, and ask only for your patience."

Greg Stafford, President and CEO of Chaosium Inc.
I’m puttin' the band back together.
Next step, bring back Steve Perrin.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome. Superworld is one of my favorite games.
DeleteHoly crap. Wow...interesting. Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat and unexpected. Unfortunately the 7th Ed. of CoC is an abomination so I'm not sure what good this will do. But at least they have the talent and wisdom back to guide them from here.
ReplyDeleteUnexpected
I'm kinda unsure where the "7th ed is an abomination" comes from. Other than changing stats to percentiles, and adding in the Luck stat, as well as the odd new mechanic of two dice rolls in some situations,oh and a few skill name changes/deletions, it still is pretty much plays like 6th ed and earlier.
Deletefurther proof everything in life is circular. (And in this case good, and awesome)
