While we are hard at work bringing various projects to fruition, I thought you might like to see the Bundle of Tentacles 5 of which we are a major part.
Bundle of holding are a charitable institution where you can buy RPG PDFs and also support a charity at the same time 😀
In the latest bundle we have a collection of our PDFs for Call of Cthulhu and we are also joined by Arc Dream and Black Armada.

sad news

I am heartbroken. The news reached many of us today of Greg Stafford's passing yesterday while in his sweat lodge, in commune with his beliefs and forces of the universe.
'Gloranthadaddy' as I called him was the single most important influence in my becoming an RPG publisher. I bought RuneQuest back in the early 80's and was enthralled, and a little intimidated, by the sheer detail of his world Glorantha (I say 'his' world but surely it was less invention and more discovery by Greg who then proceeded to share his visions).
His company, Chaosium Inc, is my go to firm for gaming and i have been proud and honoured to work for them on many of thier Call of Cthulhu titles. The wyvern bends it's head low today.
I once had the chance to game with Greg rather than just chat at Continuum. It was a rare visit to the UK by Greg and it was the first time we had physically met. I had drawn the maps for his own personal Pendragon page and we had gotten chatting.
My huge regret was that when he offered me a seat at his Pendragon game, I turned him down. I was about to run Call of Cthulhu and had a full table and didnt want to let anyone down. I felt terrible but he understood.
I'll admit to shedding some tears today. He was my real life Merlin. My heart breaks for his wife Suzanne, his family, his friends, and for a future of mythic tales without him.
No doubt he is currently arranging the heavens above Glorantha to his own personal preference and asking Orlanth the storm god to keep the noise down.
Thank you Mr Stafford for showing me a wider mythic universe and the magic within it.

Hi all,
I have good news and bad news.
By Hallowe'en you should all be holding your curator sets in your hands. That's the good news (or maybe the 'ok' news after all the wait you've had).
The bad news is despite spending a month and much stress going back and forth with couriers here in the UK, the international shipments MUST go without the lighter.
I'm sorry about that but it seems there is nothing I can do.
I hope this keeps you a little more updated than Ive been able to lately.

Hi everyone,
This update is going out specifically to all those who pledged at the Curator level.
In the past week I have had returned four of the Curator Boxes (all going stateside) returned to me with a sticker stating 'Dangerous Goods/not for shipping' and scribbled on the side, in the same handwriting, are the words "1xlighter". Basically, they refused it at the depot on my side (Deeside, Wales) because it contained a lighter. This is despite my checking before hand with a Parcelforce rep that it was ok to fly as it was a 'prop', was brand new, and had never been used as a lighter or contained any kind of fuel. I signed the declaration but alas, they seemed to have ignored that upon receipt and decided to return them to me.
I am currently scouring for do-able options from the UK to the US and will keep you up-to-date regarding your boxes. I can only offer my apologies and reassure you that I'm doing everything I can to get your boxes to you.

You can't really get the impression from here but the rest of the Curator sets are being compiled and living room is a mess of boxes, packing tape, labels, exhausted friends, books, bags, and completed sets. See an example below.
