Today (March 8th) is International Women's Day – a fitting date to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the
Hawkmoon roleplaying game and its lead designer, RPG trailblazer
Kerie Campbell-Robson. In 1986, 20 year old Kerie was one of the very first female lead designers in the industry.
And before that, at age 17(!), Kerie conceptualised and then co-wrote
Dreamlands for Call of Cthulhu. An inspiring pioneer for women in tabletop gaming!
Everyone at Chaosium appreciates the many talented and creative women designers, artists, authors, editors, playtesters and more who've been part of our games and fiction since we started in 1975!
