There's a new Chaosium newsletter called STARRY WISDOM. The first issue
Officially, STARRY WISDOM is the journal of the newly forming Cult of Chaos
includes a letter from Greg Stafford about Chaosium's history, a couple pages
of T/F/R/B/A rumors from me detailing our current Gloranthan plans, and lots
of MYTHOS card game stuff.
(yeah, I remember that CULTS OF TERROR said you should never play any of the
Chaotic cultists, but no one ever pays attention to warning stickers,
right?). You'll have to join the Cult of Chaos to receive issue #2 and up,
but issue #1 is going to be widely distributed.
Any of you Glorantha people who want to receive a copy should send me e-mail
with your name and address. Use the subject line STARRY WISDOM FREEBIE so
I'll know what to do with your message. Send the request to me at
BiturianV@aol.com
If you're considering joining the Cult of Chaos, read the clipped-on message
below from Dustin Wright, Starry Wisdom's editor, to find out what you get. I
expect we'll put a little Glorantha information into each issue, but probably
not huge amounts.
FYI, The Cult of Chaos costs $25.00 to join in the United States, $30.00 if
you're in Canada, and $35.00 to addresses in other nations. All payments in
US dollars of course, checks and credit cards are fine.
Send any Cult of Chaos sign-ups to:
Chaosium
Cult of Chaos
950 56th Street
Oakland, CA 94608
.... and don't forget to let us know which of the two available bonus
magazines you want a subscription to.
.. . . . . . and by the by, I should mention that the Cult of Chaos wasn't
intended to cause any confusion for Ingo Tschinke, Scott Knowles and the
Chaos-Society. Looks like we Chaosium people thought along the same lines as
the FreeINT and RQ-Society folks.
Later,
Rob Heinsoo
Glorantha developer

CULT of CHAOS Writeup!!
Join our CULT OF CHAOS! All members will be sent four issues of STARRY
WISDOM, the journal of the Cult of Chaos. Each season cultists will be
updated on the latest rumors, con events, MYTHOS tournaments, game tips,
albino penguin sightings, insights into the shrouded inner workings of
Chaosium, and other elder secrets human-kind was not meant to know.
Cultists of the outer circle will also receive:
A Cool Magazine Subscription:
Each initiate will be invested with a free subscription to either Inquest
(CCG focus) or SHADIS magazine (rpg focus). Subscriptions are for one full
year so that Chaos Cultist can keep up with what everyone else in the
industry is doing...
Cult Discount:
Each member gets a 10% discount on all purchases through the Wizards Attic
mail order catalog on Wizards Attic merchandise (marked with WA product
codes). Wizards Attic carries limited edition Gloranthan scholarly works,
Gloranthan game supplements, Cthulhu mythos fiction from small press
companies like Arkham House, jewelry, Cthulhu idols, a host of chaotic items
for the discriminating cultist. Anyone who isn't interested in joining the
cult is welcome to write for a free catalog: Wizards Attic, 950 56th street,
Oakland, CA 94608.
The Vermillion Road to Priesthood:
Cult of Chaos members have the opportunity to rise through the ranks to
become Chaos Acolytes or Priests by running game demos and tournaments at
local retail stores, gaming clubs, and conventions. These brothers and
sisters will have increased access to the powers of Chaos and shall receive
even greater rewards; a MYTHOS t-shirt, demo-kits, and a copy of The Art of
Playing MYTHOS. Our missionaries shall also be rewarded with a Chaosium gift
certificate, otherwise known as Chaos Bucks; for each gathering they preside
over. Armed with such rainment and knowledge they shall walk among the
sleepers and show them the paths to Chaos.
More:
It has been said that the nature of Chaos is unpredictability. Even so,
Starry Wisdom shall keep you abreast of new rewards and opportunities as the
lords of Chaos grant them. Furthermore, cultists will occasionally discover
strange and wonderful things in their mailbox... AVE DEMENTIA!
