Joining as executive producer of RPGs is Mike Mearls. Mike notably spearheaded the extraordinary success of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition as the game's co-lead designer and creative director. His role at Chaosium is to lead in the creation, implementation, and management of strategies to grow the company's current and future TTRPG lines, and working with producers and creative teams on the day-to-day delivery of products for each game.
“Call of Cthulhu taught me the value of storytelling in TTRPGs, while RuneQuest opened my eyes to the possibilities of mythic worldbuilding”, said Mike Mearls. “I’m incredibly excited to join Chaosium and help carry forward the company’s tradition of excellence.”
“Mike is one of those industry pros who’s a true gamer at heart, and someone who, like all of us at The Chaosium, has loved our company's games since his youth. We’re excited to have him join our RPG team.” said Chaosium President Rick Meints.
Three new team members have joined Chaosium's new board games studio, which launched earlier this year with the phenomenally successful Horror on the Orient Express The Board Game kickstarter. Martyna Machnica is marketing lead for the studio; Artur Mikucki is a graphic designer; and Sasza Redwan is a game developer. All three bring considerable board games industry experience and passion for games to their roles in our new studio which is based in Poland.
Lance Jackson is well-known in Australian MMA, Muay Thai and Boxing circles as a producer of live-streamed combat sports. But wanting to run some Call of Cthulhu remotely for his friends, Lance taught himself to how to convert tabletop roleplaying books over to VTT systems, and is joining us as a VTT developer.
Having recently won Itch.io's sixth annual Game Jam (theme: "game like it's 1928") with her indie game Letters to Cthulhu, Lucienne Impala joins Chaosium's digital content team.
