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.
