Founded by visionary game designer Greg Stafford in 1975, Chaosium publishes Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, and other acclaimed and award winning games, books and In July 2015, the four principals of Diana Jones Award-winning Moon Design Publications (Rick Meints, Jeff Richard, Neil Robinson and Michael O'Brien) joined the Chaosium ownership and management team.
Many of Chaosium’s product lines are based upon literary sources. Most notably, Lovecraft’s 1920’s horror fiction provides the basis of Sandy Petersen’s classic Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game line. Call of Cthulhu has won so many awards that we have lost count (though we do know that there are more than 80 of them - most recently the 2016 Best Roleplay Game award at UK Games Expo). Mr. Lovecraft also provides the inspiration for many of the books in our Chaosium Fiction line.
We also publish Basic Role Playing (BRP), the core of our roleplaying game systems, and the first to use skills based upon the d100 mechanic. Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest and most of our other RPG lines use BRP as the basis of their rules. Once you’ve learned to play one of these, you've learned to play the others.
In July 2015 Chaosium again became the licensed publisher for the roleplaying games RuneQuest and HeroQuest along with other products related to Gloranthan universe. Rick, Jeff, Neil and Mike now run the company, with Greg and Sandy on the company board (Greg as Chair) and acting as creative consultants.
In 2015, Chaosium celebrated our 40th anniversary and in 2016, Call of Cthulhu celebrates its 35th and the World of Glorantha its 50th!
