March 2010 - Cubicle
7 Entertainment to publish roleplaying game based on Charles Stross’ Laundry
Files novels
Cubicle
7 Entertainment is producing a roleplaying game based on the award-winning
Laundry series (The Atrocity Archives, The Jennifer Morgue, and
the forthcoming The Fuller Memorandum) by the even-more-award-winning
Charles Stross, and uses the also-award-winning Basic Roleplaying System (Call
Of Cthulhu) by Chaosium Inc.
|
“We love
the Laundry Files novels, so we’re really excited about
this game,” said Dominic McDowall-Thomas, Cubicle 7
Director. “The world of the Laundry is a perfect mix of
espionage, conspiracy and tentacled menace from beyond the
stars.”
“The
books are Lovecraftian spy thrillers. The best elements from
both genres are thrown together with a sprinkling of long
lost Nazis, terrorist cultists, other foreign governments
wanting a piece of the action, as well as Her Majesty’s
Civil Service.” added Cubicle 7’s Angus Abranson.
The Laundry is a branch of
the British secret service, tasked to prevent hideous alien
gods from wiping out all life on Earth. Players take the
part of Laundry agents, cleaning up the mess after things go
wrong or, sometimes, even managing to prevent the
manifestation of ultimate evil. Agents have access to the
best equipment they can get their superiors to approve, from
Basilisk Guns to portable containment grids to a PDA loaded
up with Category A countermeasure invocations.
The game has been designed
and written by industry veterans Gareth Hanrahan, Jason
Durall and John Snead. |

"I'm
really excited to be working with Cubicle 7 to bring the sinister
world of the Laundry to a wider audience," says Charles
Stross, Hugo award-winning author of "The Atrocity
Archives" and "The Jennifer Morgue".
The Laundry RPG
is a self-contained rulebook and will be supported by a number of
sourcebooks and adventure campaigns. The game is due to be
released in July 2010.
