Chaos in Glorantha started as the pretty clear-cut mark for the “bad guys”, a tool for gamemasters to scare their players, and for those players to kill some monsters without remorse. But I’m a Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green player at heart, with some early formative years spent on Vampire and Cyberpunk, so I […]
I never planned to become a TTRPG collector but, you know, it kinda just happened. I started looking on eBay for the games I used to play as a kid, and then I wanted to have a look at the previous editions of games I’m interested in, and then I’d hear about this or that […]
Chaosium may have a problem: Glorantha became the very thing that its critics warned us about. It’s mostly just a bunch of lore, now. How did that happen? And what does that mean for my RuneQuest games?

So I figured I would post an update that is part of the actual developer diary I had on the UE5 Gameplay Cameras, in case someone out there only followed that category of posts: I was part of the mass layoffs that saw Epic Games get rid of almost a quarter of their employees this […]
The old ElfQuest boxed set got the recent “revival” treatment by Chaosium’s excellent “Nostalgia Department” (aka the ever wonderful Chaosium president Rick Meints). After quite a successful Kickstarter campaign, the box was finally delivered this week to most backers. Since I’ve got nothing better to do this week-end, let’s take a quick look, and compare […]
This is another article in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system. The Gameplay Cameras (GPC) plugin currently still has the “experimental” status, but the plan is to upgrade it to “beta” for UE 5.8. This means I have to clean up a few mistakes I made with some of the early designs. […]
It’s always annoying when some rare early edition of a well-known TTRPG surfaces, but it goes up for crazy prices on eBay. Hopefully Chaosium can do another “Classic Kickstarter” for that one?
