Today marks a significant milestone – the 150,000th product sold on the Miskatonic Repository
Established in December 2018, the Miskatonic Repository is Chaosium's platform on DriveThruRPG for independent Call of Cthulhu creators.
Since then titles in this community content program have received critical praise, won several ENNIE and other awards, prompted the creation of a dedicated Storytelling Collective stream for first-time Call of Cthulhu creators, regularly topped the best seller lists at DriveThruRPG, and have sold out at pop-up stores at Chaosium conventions.
And, most importantly of all, the program has fostered a thriving and dynamic community of independent creators, each exploring the Cthulhu Mythos in their own way, yet strongly supportive of each other in such groups as the Miskatonic Repository Creator's Circle on Facebook and community-run events like Miskatonic Repository Con.
There's even the Miskatonic Playhouse, a podcast dedicated to playing and showcasing scenarios from the Miskatonic Repository.
The #MiskatonicMonday posts at the Chaosium news blog also promote new releases in the Miskatonic Repository on a regular basis.
Chaosium vice president Michael O'Brien said, "We congratulate the hundreds of independent creators involved in reaching this significant milestone, many of whom got their first experience of publishing a TTRPG title in the Miskatonic Repository. They are part of a thriving and supportive Call of Cthulhu creator community, producing works of amazing variety, set in mysterious locations all over the world and in time periods from Ancient Egypt to the far future. We encourage Call of Cthulhu fans to check out everything on offer in the Miskatonic Repository, and if they have an itch to create something themselves, our community is ready to help!"
A number of writers, artists, editors, and cartographers have gone on to create directly for Chaosium's official Call of Cthulhu line, and even joined the Chaosium team.
