Aided and abetted by the course’s rigorous deadlines, Peter published the digital edition of <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/379859/The-Catcott-Collection" target="_blank">The Catcott Collection</a> on the Miskatonic Repository, Chaosium’s community content site for Call of Cthulhu at DriveThruRPG. Peter says he found the RPG Writer Workshop “a rewarding creative experience, one I thoroughly recommend other people trying out for themselves.”The Catcott Collection is an intimate one-to-one story set in 1920s Bristol, beautifully illustrated with period images sourced from the archives of the <a href="https://www.bristolmuseums.org.uk/bristol-museum-and-art-gallery" target="_blank">Bristol Museum</a>. <img src="https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/catcott2.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 754px" /> The Bristol Museum's Archivist, Graham Tratt, not remotely fazed that Peter’s scenario depicted his employer exposing casual researchers to the perils of madness and death, made this request: “If you are able to supply a copy of the final version we would be happy to add it to our secondary material collections as an illustration of an unusual re-use of our holdings.”So Peter reached out to Chaosium, and found VP Michael O’Brien only too happy to authorise the creation of a print-on-demand edition. (A title usually needs to sell over 250 digital copies to be eligible for print, but at Chaosium we are happy to make special exceptions for cases like this). Community Ambassador Nick Brooke converted the digital edition to meet DriveThruRPG’s rigorous print specification, and the scenario is <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/379859/The-Catcott-Collection" target="_blank">now available</a> in printed and digital formats from DriveThruRPG. And next May, it’ll be added to the <a href="https://www.bristolmuseums.org.uk/bristol-archives/" target="_blank">Bristol Archive</a> (category: “Pamphlets”)<img src="https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/catcott-collection-bristol-archives.jpg" alt="Bristol Museums - Catcott Collection" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Chaosium, of course, has previous form: we were delighted when the National Museum of Australia acquired our Call of Cthulhu release <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/blogennies-2019-spotlight-terror-australis-a-work-of-national-significance-relating-to-australia-and-the-australian-people-now-also-up-for-two-ennie-awards" target="_blank">Terror Australis</a> in 2019, designating it as a work “of national significance relating to Australia and the Australian people.”)<img src="https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/miskatonic-repository-banner-1-1-.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <h4>WHAT IS THE MISKATONIC REPOSITORY?</h4>Are you a Keeper looking for new scenarios and story elements?
