Neuigkeiten von Chaosium:
Happy Spring!
The big news this month is that we have a book at the printer. Terrors from Beyond is a collection of six Call of Cthulhu adventures set in the 1920s and 1930s. While it’s possible the book will show up in late April, expect to find it at you local game shop by the end of May.
The next book to be printed should be the Robert Bloch collection Mysteries of the Worm 3rd edition.
Two Chaosium.com Contests
We’re holding two Adventure contests this summer. Our Annual Halloween Adventure Contest is starting a little earlier this year. With any luck we can have the resulting monograph available well in time for your Halloween gaming. Deadline for entries is August 1st 2009. Our second BRP Adventure Contest has a July 1st 2009 deadline. For more details about both contests visit us at chaosium.com.
Chaosium Gazette
We have a one-page newsletter available for your propaganda needs. Print a handful and take them to your local gaming convention if you can. Be sure to bring one to your next game session as well. Thank you in advance for sacrificing some print toner for the cause!
Imminent Releases
May – Terrors from Beyond. A new collection of Call of Cthulhu adventures.
June – Mysteries of the Worm 3rd edition. A collection of Robert Bloch Cthulhu Mythos tales.
July – Cthulhu’s Dark Cults. A new anthology of Call of Cthulhu short stories.
Upcoming Summer Conventions
We’re planning to attend several conventions this summer: Tentacles (Germany) and KublaCon (CA) in late May; Origins (OH) in June; Gen Con (IN) in August. We’ll likely have exhibitor booths at each, but that will largely depend upon cash flow later in the year. If we’ve been publishing books, we’ll likely have booths!

Cover Art by Rick SardinhaTerrors From Beyond is a collection of 1920′s adventures For Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu, designed for play with pre-generated characters. The book provides fine opportunities for an impromptu game or tournament play and – because the characters are intimately connected with the plot – roleplaying challenges not normally available in most published material. An excellent adventure collection for new and veteran Call of Cthulhu players alike.
