Late last week the news broke that Chaosium Publishing and Cubicle 7 Entertainment were not going to renew the licensing agreement under which C7 published a fantastic line of Call of Cthulhu supplements. Because this licensing will expire on January 1st, 2018 time is now running out to get your hands on a good number of C7 titles they’ve published over the years for CofC. Earlier today an announcement came out which also points out that you can save some dough on these books before they do out of print.
From Cubicle 7:
• On January 1st 2018 we will take all of our current, licensed Call of Cthulhu products off sale permanently. They will not be sold by Cubicle 7 after that date.
• Before 1st January we’re reducing the price on almost all of our Call of Cthulhu licensed game titles. These are: World War Cthulhu: Cold War, World War Cthulhu: The Darkest Hour, The Laundry, and Cthulhu Britannica.
• You may still see some of these fine games in your local game store for a month or two, but there will be no restocks available. As they sell out they will not be replenished.
• These games will not be reprinted or republished by Cubicle 7 in their current form using the Call of Cthulhu rules.
• Currently, our plan is to reboot these lines with a new system or systems. It is a little too early in that process to confirm any more details with regard to the potential for backwards compatibility. We’re exploring a lot of exciting options right now, and we will keep you posted on our website, newsletter and social media.
• Because some of these titles are newly released, and pre-orders have been only open a short time, we will not be discounting those titles out of respect for our customers who pre-ordered or Kickstarted those titles. A huge thank you to those customers – we really appreciate your support.
We hope you have enjoyed our Call of Cthulhu settings and supplements. We certainly had a great time working on them.
