#WeAreAllUs: play a game and honor Greg Stafford, October 10 - 31

OCTOBER 10 is the first anniversary of the passing Chaosium founder Greg Stafford, the 'grand shaman of gaming'.

As one of the greatest game designers of all time; winner of too many awards to count; and a friend, mentor, guide, and inspiration to generations of gamers, Greg Stafford influenced the universe of tabletop gaming beyond measure.

To honor his legacy and with Greg's family's blessing, we encourage Chaosium fans and gamers in general to play a tabletop game from October 10 to October 31 in remembrance of Greg.

On October 10 Chaosium will be releasing a set of new free adventures for all our major game systems (RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, King Arthur Pendragon, 7th Sea, HeroQuest) you can play. We'll release details about these scenarios in the coming weeks.

Or play any of Greg's games, or a game he influenced (that scope is **wide**)

Or play any game at all - as Greg said in his last public speech at the 2018 ENnies, the gaming industry only exists because of your enthusiasm and support. We at Chaosium recognise that countless RPG fans are fans (including us!) because of Greg Stafford and what he achieved.

Feel free to share an image of your game on social media or at BRP Central, with the hashtag #WeAreAllUs.

Show the "Greg Rune" (aka the Sartar Rune) in your post - copy and print the image here, or from Redbubble (all "Greg Rune" merchandise is currently available at cost, with no artist margin).

What better way to honor his legacy than getting your friends together and playing a game in remembrance of him!

7th Sea: The Sword of Kings

Call of Cthulhu: The Lightless Beacon

HeroQuest Glorantha: Highwall Inn

King Arthur Pendragon: The Quest of the Red Blade

Welcome to The Lightless Beacon, an adventure for Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium!  Travel to the lovely and not at all unsettling Beacon Island and become stranded -- I mean, visit a completely ordinary lighthouse full of historical character and no eldritch horror whatsoever. Assuming you survive (which of course you will! Haha!), you’re sure to have an exciting tale to tell your family, friends, and fellow asylum inmates. Oh, and don’t forget to give your travel agency five stars on R’lyeh’lp!

In celebration of the life of Greg Stafford, founder of Chaosium, Roll20 is offering this adventure for free, (yep, you read it right!) with special perks like Dynamic Lighting for Pro subscribers to really give you that spooky lighthouse vibe.

This standalone one-shot adventure can be played in as little as one hour. It also comes with four pre-generated investigators and makes for a great introductory scenario for new players -- but it is a full adventure suitable for experienced players, too. There’s a mystery to solve and, in true Call of Cthulhu fashion, horrors lurking in the darkness. Will you be clever enough or lucky enough to survive?

Get your copy of The Lightless Beacon right now in the Roll20 Marketplace for free, and if you haven’t already, pre-order your copy Call of Cthulhu.
