Keepers of the Faith Cancelled

[ffutures]

I've just heard that Chaosium have decided not to go ahead with Keepers of the Faith, the big 25th anniversary Call of Cthulu adventure compilation, which is a shame because it would have included my adventure Bad Moon Rising. I'm not actually losing money on this, since contributors were paid for reprint rights first time around, but it's a pity - it would have been a nice book. See

for the announcement.

That just sucks! :(

Time for a letter writing campaign me thinks.

Doubt it'll do much good - besides, they may have a point about an all-new project selling better.

I've suggested they think about a PDF, that might be a possibility.

This was one collection I was really looking forward to. A chance to reacquire some classic scenarios.

With the exception of Secrets of Japan, I'm sorry to say that not much of Chaosium's proposed new output grabbed my interest.

Oh well.

Which one was Bad Moon Rising? Was it the amazing one with the 1920s Royal Navy gate-using lunar expedition, or am I thinking along completely the wrong lines?

That's the one.

Wow. I loved that one, but haven't read it for ages, and somehow didn't make the connection to it being written by you. But that makes much sense.

(though, in truth, I never dared run it as it stands)

Obviously I'm rather disappointed. I would have loved to have seen Bad Moon Rising reprinted. There's now a news item about it:

In the end, I guess Chaosium looked at the numbers, and made a financial choice. PDF could indeed be a useful alternative.
