[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 181910, member: 924"] I think the only thing that has kept Chaosium from going under is Call of Cthulhu. . While it's not a mega-hit, it's probably got a devoted fan-base. I think everything else from them has been something of a flop. Or at least they never followed up much on them, or managed to bungle it. For instance, the Michael Moorcock license. The early stuff is very good, but the later stuff gets awfully pretentious and dull. And very little product support. They never did much with Pendragon. Great idea, okay mechanics, no support. They got the Ringworld license. But AFAIK, they never did much with it (2 books). Big collector's item these days, too. Runequest was a potential hit, but due to how they handled it, it's more of a cult thing. I stil think the talking giant ducks are pretty stupid, but I know some people love them. [/QUOTE]
