Cubicle
7 Entertainment Granted Call of Cthulhu and Basic Roleplaying License
Cubicle 7 Entertainment is pleased to announce that we have signed two licenses with Chaosium Inc in regards to their CALL OF CTHULHU and BASIC ROLEPLAYING game lines.
The first license
covers the creation and publication of CALL OF CTHULHU adventures and
supplements. The first of these is CTHULHU BRITANNICA which is released
in August. This new collection of horror scenarios features five tales
of horror and the weird, set within the green and pleasant land of
England. Each scenario focuses upon a different time period, from the
streets of Victorian London to the far future when End is almost nigh.
Although each scenario can be played as part of an existing campaign,
they also come with a set of pre-generated player characters, allowing
all to be played and run with the minimum of effort. Our CTHULHU
BRITANNICA series then continues with FOLKLORE in November. This
sourcebook gives life to strange tales and strange places where
myth meets mythos in Britain's darkest corners.
Cubicle
7 have also signed a license for
the BASIC ROLEPLAYING system which is being used to developed a brand
new game based upon the works of a popular award-winning author which we
will announcing later in the year.
“We’re delighted to
be publishing material for Call of Cthulhu. One of our long-held
ambitions is to contribute to this fantastic game,” said Dominic
McDowall-Thomas of Cubicle 7. “We’re also very excited to be able to
use the Basic Roleplaying system for our upcoming unannounced licensed
game – it’s a perfect fit.”
"We've known Angus
Abranson for well over a decade and long desired to work together with
him on something. Now he's teamed up with Dominic, and formed Cubicle 7
Entertainment, it gives Chaosium great pleasure to award them licenses
to publish supplements for Call of Cthulhu as well as BRP books. We're
looking forward to a long and successful relationship and many swell
Chaosium licensed books to come!" added Dustin Wright of Chaosium.
