Dark Adventure Radio Theatre's The Brotherhood of the Beast is an epic tale of globe-trotting adventure inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, presented as a 1930s-style radio drama. One of Chaosium's most thrilling game supplements — Keith Herber's The Fungi From Yuggoth — has been adapted into a fully dramatized 3 disc super episode. And, inspired by the game upon which it is based, this production features four different endings! Brotherhood of the Beast is available now as a 3 CD set or digital download. And see below about the incredible Deluxe Edition, featuring six pounds of props!

 The Brotherhood of the Beast - Deluxe Edition
Dark Radio Theatre's The Brotherhood of the Beast was written with prop aficionados and gamers in mind. The story feels like a Call of Cthulhu game unfolding as you listen, and to add to the fun, the Deluxe Edition features 54 props to pore over as the adventure unfolds! As characters in the show find clues, you'll find them too. Full eight-column newspaper pages, large-format maps, letters, pages from unspeakable tomes and much more: you'll be immersed in the action with the kind of crazed verisimilitude only the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society can offer.  Six pounds of props! (note the human arm for scale...)

All the props come bundled in Nate Ward's vintage Miskatonic University shoulder bag (while stocks last) with an internal accordion file to keep them all straight. An included Listener Guide lets you know when to pause the audio, protects you from spoilers, and dishes up a role-playing audio adventure you'll never forget. The Deluxe Edition contains the full 3 CD version of the show, plus more than six pounds of props! |

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. |
