Transmitted by the Leng Embassy, Silverton Colorado.
Welcome to the September 2002 issue of the R’lyeh Report, featuring all the latest Chaosium news and views.

Howdy Folks!

As I gaze out the Leng Embassy office window I can see aspen turning to gold, which means Autumn is here. Where did the Summer go?
I reckon I missed it while preparing for, attending, and catching up from Origins & Gen Con. 🙂

Joe Crociata: Crafter of Eldritch Tomes

We came across a rather swank looking auction on eBay, one peddling off a hand-crafted “arcane tome” and thought to ourselves, “Damn, this is cool! Who cooked this up?” The man is Joe Crociata, a student at the University of Tennessee. Aside from crafting cool tomes, he’s also related to the last person burned at the stake in England for religious reasons. One can only wonder what religion that was. He has a new item up for auction as well. Without further ado, here’s me and Joe: Continue reading »

Chaosium News and Views

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.

Origins!!

Well, oh loyal readers, your loyal webmaster, the smooth
pimp of love Trollboy, will be going to origins in less
than 2 weeks. I will be roaming around the con sometimes,
hanging out in the Chaosium Booth with Charlie Krank and
infamous Dustin, running games for GAMA, or checking out
Columbus. So look for me at origins or at the local
Columbus hotspots, such as the zoo, my grandmothers, or
the local goth clubs, etc.

The R’lyeh Report – June 2002

Origins GM’s
needed!

We need GM’s to
cover six Arkham Horror events at Origins, July 4th – 7th.
We’ll supply a copy of the game for your use, and mail you
a copy of the rulebook so you can familiarize yourself
with the game before the show. Volunteering gets you
invited to our Origins staff Death By Pizza Bash, and gets
you some CHAOSIUM SWAG at the end of the show. If you’re
planning to attend, and have some time to spare, drop us a
line! [email protected]

The R’lyeh Report – April 2002

Howdy Folks!
It sure has been a Looooooong time since the last R’lyeh report went out. I hope February and March treated you well. We Chaosium
folk have been running as fast as we can to keep new book projects moving along, and chasing some old projects as well. A Trade
show in mid March took half the company out of the office for a week, and we’re still catching up from that. Add to the mix a new
influx of Call of Cthulhu fans with all sorts of questions to answer, new retailers asking about our books, and a couple of
distributors who are suddenly interested in our company again, and you can see why it’s been so long since our last report. If it
weren’t for the Unexpected Arrival of Chaosium dude #4.5 – Ben Monroe, we’d be hopelessly behind. As it stands, we’re simply
hopefully behind. Now that we have 4.5 Chaosium dudes, we’ll be quite dangerous once we get some cash flowing back into the
company. 🙂
