Every so often we get a wonderful completist collector of Chaosium games ask us about some of our product numbers that never got used. One of the earliest ones we skipped was CHA2341 in the Call of Cthulhu product line. Up until last night I didn't have any reference to what that was supposed to be. It wasn't listed as a cancelled title, like Castle of Bones (CHA2715) or Undying Mars (CHA2391). As luck would have it I was looking for something totally unrelated and came across the answer. Once again, the Stars were Right!
On the second page of the Call of Cthulhu 1992 Release Schedule was...The Mountains of Madness...advertised as coming out in November of 1992 for $39.95. It was going to be a boxed set too! I started digging further and here is what Keith Herber had to say about it to Lynn Willis in 1993 (inter-company memo we have in the archives):
Fortunately, another writing team picked up the project a few years later and CHA2380 Beyond the Mountains of Madness debuted in 1999 (and is now available again in print!).
