Howdy Folks!
As I write this month’s report, there is plenty going on at Chaosium. Our d20 COC GM pack is nearly finished being printed, and is
expected in our warehouse within a week. It’ll ship off to distributors & a retailer near you by the end of the month. Our BRP
book is at the printer, and there’s an excellent chance we’ll have it at Gen Con. Our H.P. Lovecraft’s Dunwich Sourcebook is in
final editing, and should ship off to the printer very soon. It looks like this book will be available a little early – mid August
or so.
We’re rapidly getting ready for the upcoming Gen Con game fair in good old Milwaukee. In all likelihood, we’ll need some volunteer
GM’s to help us run some events. We’re currently waiting for event confirmations that will tell us just how much help we might
need. Once we have more information, we’ll send out a call for volunteers. If you’ve previously volunteered to help us, and have
yet to hear back from us, now you know why!
We’ve a couple of surprises in store for Gen Con attendees. We’re hosting a Miskatonic University Library Association Haiku
contest (http://www.chaosium.com/gencon2002haiku.shtml), we hope to
announce a couple of new books (manuscripts willing), and we’ll have a couple of limited products available at the Chaosium booth.
We’re bringing a very limited version of our 20th Anniversary Edition Call of Cthulhu to say goodbye to Old Milwaukee, and we’ve
got a swell limited T-shirt to sell to attendees as well. We’ll make both of them available on our web page after the show.
Unless of course they sell out.
Chaosium was honored to receive two Origins Awards while at the Origins Game Expo earlier this month. Bruce Ballon’s Unseen
Masters (CHA 2384) won Best RPG Adventure for 2001. Our Call of Cthulhu 20th Anniversary Edition won Best Graphic Presentation of
an RPG product as well. We’d like to thank everyone who voted for our titles, and all the authors and artists who worked so hard
upon them.
From our Vancouver Field Office, and the desk of Toren Atkinson:

last year). It’s $5 to get in; Payment is easy – email me ([email protected]) and
we’ll work it out. Once we work it out I give you your ticket number and you can then register online at the above URL.
