Licensee Focus
The Dhole's House is a free 'online toolkit' for both Keepers and players of Call of Cthulhu7th Edition, developed by long-time fan Lee Carnell. Members can create investigators that are fully compatible with Call of Cthulhu 7th edition and print off a PDF character sheet, all in a matter of minutes. All Investigators are saved and can be updated via the 'Character Control Panel' as the campaign unfolds. Site members can also contribute to a Character Library, allowing anyone to download PDF character sheets for Call of Cthulhu investigators for use as PCs or NPC's. The Library is searchable by occupation and gender. The Keeper section of the Library includes a handout generator for quick creation of in-game artefacts including three different types of telegram, visiting/business cards, newspaper clippings and calendars. Go to https://www.dholeshouse.org to try out the investigator generator and toolkit.

 And a final reminder: the Hudson and BrandKickstarter, from our friends Stygian Fox, is in its last hours. This is a superb Cthulhu By Gaslight resource detailing a ready-made Victorian anti-Cthulhu Mythos organization - well worth a look!

What is Ab Chaos?
(...from Ab Chaos #7, May 31 1992)
Ab - Latin "from"
Chaos - (1) Any condition or place of total disorder (modern vernacular); (2) the disordered state of unformed matter which preceded creation (since Milton, Paradise Lost); (3) the dark, empty space which preceded creation (Greek Mythology); (4) the [formerly] Californian roleplaying game company.
Ab Chaos is an informal newsletter for Chaosium fans. Through our history we have tried to serve the players and gamemasters through craft and art as well as (and sometimes at the expense of) marketing and moneymaking. We appreciate your loyalty, and offer this communication to those who are curious about us, beyond the mere "product".
It is planned to be informal and irregular. We are, after all, not the Orderium. |
