  (a) The Chaosium didn't ask me; Cubicle 7 did the heavy lifting. And (b) Cubicle 7 started by licensing the CoC ruleset ... then gutted it, replacing large chunks in order to get a proper Laundry feel (complete with added civil service bureaucracy).

  On the other hand, World of Warcraft is a very nice little earner. Latest upgrade? 3.3 million copies in 24 hours. And that's to people quite a few iterations into the game now.

  I received my pre-ordered copy last week. I've only been able to page through it, (as I'm on vacation and need to prepare for the D&D campaign I run this Sunday), but I'm quite delighted by what I've read. I'm glad to hear that it's a self-contained rule-system, since I don't own any of the main CoC products. I'm looking forward to receiving the rest of the Laundry RPG products. Since I've pre-ordered them, they come as awesome and random surprises in the mail....
