Do you recall giving any of those out back then?

I used to own it, and it was stolen, and I have been on a hunt for it for about twelve years or so, now.
Was it a very popular game/setting(s)?
BRP was always my favorite Chaosium product; though CoC is fun, I prefer to incorporate it into other games, especially Gamma World. Thanks.

If I recall correctly, you guys published the "second edition" -- the first being a French-only release by some other company whose name escapes me at the moment. Though I could, of course, be wrong.

I liked many of the concepts and have borrowed bits and pieces for my Call of Cthulhu campaign.The one thing that discouraged me from running a Nephilim campaign was the layout of the main book. As a game keeper it seemed to me that the content lent itself to be divided into two books. One for the keeper and the other for the players. At the time it was released I realize that Chaosium had moved away from the boxed sets with multiple books.Was the final layout a compromise to consolidate all of the information into the one main book?
g026r wrote:'nother question for you, Greg.
Was going through some of my CoC stuff, and came across a publication with the imprint of "Cthulhu House" and "A Chaosium Publication" printed underneath it. A quick net search showed me that it was one of two Cthulhu House publications, and that they were produced entirely out-of-house, but not much more info could be gleaned.So then, onto the question: what can you tell me about Cthulhu House? (Why was it formed? Why were there only two publications? Anything else interesting that comes to mind...)

What Glorantha projects are you working on at the moment? Or, are you still writing for your world of Glorantha at all anymore?

This ( ** expired/removed eBay auction ** ) got posted over in one of the other threads, and was curious what connection, if any, Chaosium had with them.
From another auction, it appears that the boxes themselves were made by a company called Board Craft Simulations back in the early 80s and were packaged with a copy of the BRP rules.I guess I'm curious as to what relationship Chaosium had with them. Did they approach you to licence the BRP rules for package in the product? Did you guys approach them to make a set of semi-geomorphic paths packaged with the BRP rules? Was it some company that put out their product with the BRP rules included without your knowledge at the time?
I realise it's likely an insignificant detail from over a quarter decade ago, but whatever you happen to remember is more information than I have now.
