Re: Kickstarter Proof Reviews Here
On page 58 of the Keeper's Rulebook, under the failed push examples, the last sentence has a period instead of a comma ("the critics slate your work. and no one desires your services any longer.")

Re: The MU Podcast IndieGogo Campaign is LIVE!
Yes! I was just wondering why you were doing D6s instead of D10s. Looking forward to seeing those designs.
I've given you a little from my unfortunately post-college reserves, but I'm glad to chip in. We wouldn't want anything to happen to Dan's computer :p

Re: Basing scenarios off of Lovecraft stories
I've been working on a two-part scenario that's basically a modern version of the "Whisperer in Darkness," though heavily mixed with elements of the Blair Witch Project , and it's been going over quite well playtesting with my friends. Now, I'll admit that many of them haven't read Lovecraft, but ev...

Re: MU Podcast 053 - Fudging, Flubbing, and Failing
I think another important thing to consider when fudging rolls is the group you're in. Obviously some people prefer a more "GM=God" approach, allowing the GM to manipulate the story and mechanics to create the most fun experience and story for the players, while others prefer to stick with the game ...

Re: MU Podcast 048 - The Con in Yellow
In regards to the King in Yellow aspects of the podcast (another great podcast guys!), I was wondering if anyone had read/checked out the Thom Ryng King in Yellow recreation. I'm checking it out to see if it's worth having on hand as a prop (or just for a good read), since the "Yellow Mythos" is rea...

Good Delta Green Scenarios?
For a long time I've been on and off the fence about Delta Green, as while I prefer modern Cthulhu to other eras, the whole conspiracy-aspect of the game doesn't appeal to me (it does feel very '90s, though). However, at the end of the day I figure there's no reason I can't cut the parts I don't lik...

Re: Introduce Yourself
I've actually been lurking & listening to the podcast now for months, but I figured I ought to pipe up & introduce myself. I'm Dav Flamerock, a recent college grad who's been into Lovecraft for years. I was running Cthulhu RPG scenarios before I knew there even was a Cthulhu RPG (I just used a D&D r...

Re: Modern setting books for Call Of Cthulhu
I'd argue DG's enduring popularity is mostly because of its first-rate writing, which is backed up with impeccable research to infuse the modern era with Mythos-y goodness whilst hitting on many great modern tropes - conspiracy, UFOs, alienation - along with the aforementioned fewer hurdles to imme...

Re: Modern setting books for Call Of Cthulhu
I'm also very interested in writing modern-day Cthulhu (as I find the more relatable I can make it the more unsettling I can make it), but I've read fairly negative reviews of Arkham Now universally—does anyone here have experience with the book? Is it as bad as I was reading on BGG & YSDC? Also, I ...
