Five Items that Made Chaosium (with Rick Meints)

Chaosium is celebrating 50 years since the company was founded by Greg Stafford. Their games have always been at the core of what we play, so it was great to have more time with returning guest, Rick Meints.Rick is the president of Chaosium, perhaps more importantly, he is the Head of the Department of Nostalgia, the custodian to the extensive, if chaotic, archive of the company. He started as a collector, and ended up heading the company.We set him the challenge of finding five items from the archive that represent the development of the company over fifty years. What products are the milestones of progress in the history of Chaosium? There are some unexpected items in there. Let us know what you think.The interview was recorded in front of an audience as part of GROGMEETish in November. In the room of role-playing rambling, I’m joined by resident rules-lawyer Judge Blythy to review GROGMEETish. We also talk about NPCs or Games Master Characters and how to handle a ‘cast of 1000s’.The advert is for Eldritch Stories from Mason and Fricker.Why not support us on Patreon? Offers are now available apparently.DirkThe post Five Items that Made Chaosium (with Rick Meints) first appeared on The GROGNARD Files.
