[I asked Jeff, since he knows some of the good folk at Chaosium, if he knew
what was in the works. His response:]

Scheduled for February, 1989:

	Petersen's Field Guide to the Dreamlands
		If you thought the artwork for PFGttCM was good, wait
		'til you see these!
	Prince Valiant
		Greg's Story-telling Role-Playing Game based on Hal
		Fisher's (sp?) comic.
	4th edition Call of Cthulhu
		Incorporating more rules fixes, a complete spell lexicon
		(based on the previous one, but including all of the
		supplements).  The cover will be new.

Further scheduled:

	Elder Secrets of Glorantha
		Covering most (but not all) of the secrets of Glorantha.
		It looks pretty good.  And no, it doesn't give away THE
		secret of the God-Learners (which only 5 people on Earth
		know -- I'm one of them).

[Threats, bribes, etc. were unsuccessful at wresting the secret from Jeff...]

	Great Old Ones
		Another large Cthulhu supplement -- the manuscript has
		been sitting around for quite a while.

Some other things:

I've been discussing Pendragon with Greg. There will most likely be another series of supplements. It will make it easier for a GM to run a Pendragon campaign -- I've always thought the hardest thing to get was a good sense of continuity. These should help.

Sandy [Peterson] has indeed left Chaosium. The parting was amicable, despite what you may have heard. Sandy is now living in Baltimore, working as a game designer for Microprose, a computer game company. He left so as to make more money -- with four children, Chaosium wasn't paying enough.

That's all for now!

Jeff
