* just some Announcements
Editor's Note:
Just getting some quick, pre-Gen Con announcements out. For those who're
going to be here in Indy this weekend, enjoy the convention. For those who
can't make it, keep those submissions coming! :-)
Take care all.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
* From Chaosium
Gen Con Update
Gen Con is almost upon us! Charlie Krank and company will be staffing the
Chaosium booth this year. Swing by Booth 1640, say howdy, and pick up one of
our new T-shirts. If you can't make the show, you'll have a chance to buy
the T-shirts at our website (http://www.chaosium.com).We should also have
advance copies of H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport for your perusal. We will of
course be hosting our annual Chaosium Unplugged seminar at about lunch time
Saturday, and our Cthulhu Rally on Saturday evening. This years rally will
include a live action game show. (for exact event times, check your Gen Con
booklet).
To enter the Cthulhu game show, contestants will first have to solve the
mystery of poor Dr. Pickman's untimely demise. Would be contestants and
investigators should Come by the Chaosium booth and speak to Matt Wiseman or
Randy Porter. They can get you started. You must then search the exhibit
hall for clues, and deduce what befell the good Professor. A selection of
successful investigators will be invited to participate in the game show
itself. Fun for the entire Cult!
Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition
We've sold out of our Call of Cthulhu rulebook yet again! Rather than just
reprint the book, we've decided to release a new edition. The Call of
Cthulhu 6th edition rulebook will use the layout from the previously printed
20th Anniversary edition. The text of the new edition is identical to our
2001 edition (5.5), so don't expect any rules changes in this edition. The
book will once again be a hardcover edition. We expect this book to ship to
distributors and retailers worldwide this October.
Release Schedule Update
As most of you know, our release schedule is as slippery as a greased zoog
sometimes. None-the-less, we're moving right along. H.P. Lovecraft's
Kingsport is at the printer and should be shipping by the end of the month.
We expect to have advance copies at Gen Con. White People and Other Tales is
at the printer and should release in August. Secrets of Japan is in final
layout, and is currently on track for a September release. Cthulhu Dark Ages
is being edited and is expected to release in October along with our Call of
Cthulhu rulebook. Other Fall releases include a reprint of our Encyclopedia
Cthulhiana and The Yellow Sign. For more info on our upcoming releases,
check out the Upcoming releases section of our website.
Finally, we've added several new items to our web catalog in recent weeks.
We've made a very limited edition of our 20th anniversary Call of Cthulhu
available to 10 lucky cultists, we've added several items from Mythos books,
including the H.P. Lovecraft Tarot, back issues of Starry Wisdom, mint
condition boxes for some of your vintage Chaosium collection including an
Arkham Horror box, two T-shirts which will be available at the end of the
month, various restocks, etc.
We hope you're enjoying your Summer. We are!
Thanks for all of your support
The Chaosium dudes.

* Greetings to the Tribe!
We follow weeks of inactivity with weeks of constant bombardment! This time,
a message (delayed by my busy schedule) from John Hughes, one of the fine
folks behind the outstanding Moon Rites fundraiser that came out earlier
this year. Take it away, John!

Mark Galeotti's seminal and inspiring essay from Moon Rites, 'Crime and
Punishment In the Empire', is now available for download, printing, and your
reading pleasure. It is available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format from both
the Glorantha website
<http://www.HeroQuest-rpg.com/tribes/LawInTheEmpire.pdf> and from the files
area of the HeroQuest-rpg Digest at
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HeroQuest-RPG/files/>.
The article is the result of intense research by one of our most acclaimed
Lunar experts, and is extensively illustrated throughout. It's eight pages
of crunchy Lunar goodness (and naughtiness!). Mark has given us a
foundational essay that offers never-before-revealed, far-reaching insights
into the Lunar Empire.
'Crime and Punishment In the Empire' first appeared in Moon Rites, the
January 2003 fundraiser for Gloranthacon VIII. The layout of the original
essay was marred somewhat by minor printer's error, so we are pleased to
make it available in its pristine form. And yes, a few copies of Moon Rites
are still available!
The file is 3.8 Meg in size. If downloading from the Glorantha site, you may
wish to right-click the link and 'Save target as...' rather than loading the
file within your web browser. (Mac users, you'll know what to do.)
