While MOB and the Australian Chaosium team sweltered in 39°C (102°F) temperatures at Can Con in Canberra this weekend, Chaosium president Rick Meints was a special guest at Cthulhu in a Castle in snowy Philadelphia PA .

Here, wrapped up warmly in the Gilded Age mansion the Cairnwood Estate, the participants got to play through entire classic Call of Cthulhu campaigns in one weekend. Rick's group played The Two-headed Serpent, other groups played streamlined versions of Masks of Nyarlathotep, Horror on the Orient Express, and Mansions of Madness!















Many thanks to our friends at The Game Theatre for staging such an unforgettable event!
