If you've ever thought about getting the Cthulhu Rising monograph....

....now is the time to do it.  I got mail from John Ossoway, the Cthulhu Rising head honcho, announcing the new version of the Cthulhu Rising monograph from Chaosium (which, incidentally, I have a credit in now -- woohoo!).  In addition to everything that was in the last version, this new one has:

• New cover art by Ben Thornley
• Updated timeline and background information
• Expanded information on colony worlds
• Expanded information on weapons and equipment
• Updated rules for psychic powers
• New character sheets
• New layout

But even better news, according to John, if sales of the monograph are good enough, Cthulhu Rising may actually be published as a real distributed title, which would be pretty awesome for everyone who's worked on Cthulhu Rising over the last bunch of years.  So if you have any interest at all, I'd like to make an appeal to all three of you who read this blog to pick it up.  You can get it in print or in PDF form from the Chaosium website.

My apologies for this bit of shameless self-promotion, I will now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
