World View
The Chaosium exists deep underneath the bottom of the lowest Underworld. It is the Fount of Chaos and spews forth our collective unconscious – fantasies and monstrosities alike - into our world. Artists, lunatics, and gamers are all inspired by its restless dreams. The Chaosium speaks to us:
“We are all Us.”
“You must cut the Dragon Head off yourself, take it with your left hand and make it part of you. You must slay the dragon and wield its power.”
“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!”
The Chaosium lets us dream the dreams of dead gods and construct the universe out of its essential runes. It lets us travel along the Lightbringers Quest to revive the murdered sun or walk the non-Euclidean pathways of R’lyeh’s nightmare corpse-city.
The Chaosium was founded by Greg Stafford in 1975 after listening to the whisperings of elder spirits, and over the last forty years Chaosium has published some of the most acclaimed and award-winning roleplaying games of all times – RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, King Arthur Pendragon, HeroQuest – as well as such classic board and card games as White Bear & Red Moon (later called Dragon Pass), Nomad Gods, Credo, and Mythos.
In this mundane and grey world, the Chaosium brings your untamed imagination to life, through role-playing games, books, board and card games, comics, and more. Guard yourself with the Elder Sign and fortify yourself with Rune Magic, it is time to begin your adventures!
