I bring to your attention, yet another Blog, the Orient Express Writers Blog . In their own words: This blog is published by Penelope Love and Mark Morrison. We have been writing for Call of Cthulhu since our first book together,  Terror Australis , in 1987. The revised edition of Horror on the Orient Express will be published by our friends at Chaosium in August 2013. We are undertaking the editing and rewriting as freelancers. Whilst I'm on the theme of blogs, I would also like to draw attention to another couple that I have added to my blogroll. Cthulhu Reborn . This blog bills itself as "An online resourse for recycled Call of Cthulhu scenarios and stuff". I've had a glance through it, in an attempt to summarise it's contents, but it's best if you just head on over and delve right in! There's a host of handouts and game materials to be had. Chaosium Digest is a blog that has formed from the original Chaosium digest email list. In their...

Lynn Willis, pillar of the Chaosium community, has sadly passed away . In memory of the man and his legacy, Yog-sothoth.com have hosted for our viewing pleasure his designer notes for the 1st edition of Call of Cthulhu.

I know the word Oldhammer has been coined for 3rd ed WFB, but I think it works ust as well for the GW version of WFRP. In a trip to an LGS , I found a batch of first edition hard back WFRP supplements. Mostly for the Enemy Within Capaign. Commonly thought of as one of the best campaigns for any RPG. WFRP was one of the first RPGs I really got into, and I had played in, bought and run the campaign as it was sold in the early 90s in the guise of Warhammer Adventure and Warhammer City of Chaos . I had never got round to either buying or running the latter parts of the campaign. The Books I found today were Power Behind the Throne (1988), Something Rotten in Kislev (1988) from the Enemy Within, Warhammer City (1987) and The Restless Dead (1986). The only issue seems to be a missing map from Warhammer City, and from SRiK, but since either will likely be available online, I don't see that as a big issue. All the other handouts still seem to be in place. At $8 each, they were ...

I have had a couple of update emails from the kickstarter, which I would like to share.  Update #65 We want to share some exciting news! Steff Worthington will be signing on to create new and improved maps for Horror on the Orient Express ! Steff created some amazing maps for Cthulhu by Gaslight , and we are very excited that he has climbed on board the Orient Express! Check out Steff's work on his blog . I have been along to the blog, and I can say I am heartily impressed by his work, and will be sure to be using those maps for Cthulhu and any other project they fit. In fact, he has already mapped the route of the Orient Express for another project . Also of interest from that blog is this post, containing the map of Cairo from the upcoming Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion . Update #66 A new city along the route Hello everyone, While Meghan and Nick travel to Istanbul to conduct photo research for the many handouts and merchandise we are producing for the new...
