Who publishes Call of Cthulhu (non d20)?

[RangerWickett]

Is it Chaosium, or do they just do minis or something? Is it BRP, and if so, who is that, and what does the name mean? And when was the last time something new came out?

Chaosium

They also do stormbringer and BRP.

Chaosium also does Cthulhu fiction, t-shirts, miniatures, and presidential campaign material ("Don't settle for the lesser evil, Cthulhu for president.").

BRP is "Basic Role Play" system, the name of the %-based system that the old CoC, and Runequest both use.

Chaosium is the company, as Yoadam has said.

Chaosium produces Call of Cthulhu. BRP is "Basic Role Playing", their game engine. Just as the D20 system is the engine that powers D&D, BRP is the engine that powers CoC and some other Chaosium products.

Chaosium is supposed to be release a new product any moment now. IIRC CoC: Dark Age is the name of it. New Chaosium releases have slowed to an imperceptible crawl in recent years. Blame for this phenomenon is usually placed on a bad cash flow situation. They seem to lack the liquidity to pay the printer. Also Chaosium got into the CCG business just in time for the market to bust and they have been trying to rebuild ever since. The fact that their biggest D20 offering to date has been a badly rehashed Elric line hasn't helped either. I really thought Chaosium could have taken the D20 world by storm, all they had to do was release a decent generic "dark fantasy" line. That ship seems to have sailed though.

I believe that a company called Pagan Publishing also publishes non-d20 CoC materials. I think the Delta Green setting is their twisted creation... Kudos to them!

Bear in mind, because of mismanagement, Chaosium has huge money problems. While they've managed to stay in business, they are basically a shoe-string operation.

For the Call of Ctulhu equivalent of ENWorld (sorta) try:

A great site, I lurk their too.

Now, it someone could revive CoC like d20 did for D&D.
