#43 the straight scoop from the well of chaos... Call of Cthulhu Metal Dice Kickstarter is Live! Roll for SAN with these amazing Call of Cthulhu Metal Dice from Q Workshop and Chaosium.  This is a set of full metal dice, made of tin, painted in black, and officially approved by Chaosium.

The Kickstarter runs until Saturday April 15, with a whole swathe of Stretch Goals to come... "The dice look like they have been mined from Yuggoth by the mi-go or grown in some Elder Thing vat in a lost city in Antarctica. They are stunning attractive and very readable—they’re going to be great on your gaming table." - Mike Mason, Call of Cthulhu line editor CALL OF CTHULHU IN TOP 5 RPGS FOR FALL 2016 ICv2 reports that CALL OF CTHULHU is in the top 5 of RPGs in hobby stores for Fall 2016!

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.
