Re: Episode 67 - Our Top Three Mythos Deities
Great show guys & wanted to share some thoughts which you may or may not have read. *For Mordiggian, whom I've not yet encountered in a game, sounds a lot like the people who wrote the Dr. Who episode "Silence in the library" got some shared fictional DNA in between that show & Mordiggian. *Azathoth...

Re: Trail of Cthulhu/Gumshoe for new people
Minimum needed is two so I'll let this first run stay still for a few days to see if more show up. As the intro stuff is light & going to be going over rules/characters more, two is manageable with the right pregenerated characters to fill in any holes on skills needed. I'm in US central time, free ...

Re: Episode 66 - The Appeal of Horror
Great episode guys as it's a fun topic & very hard to do when everyone is sitting around a bright room knowing full well they got on this game as a horror game. While the jump scares are a great touch at times to keep the mood from going flat, it shouldn't be overdone. I can't recall the podcast/int...

Trail of Cthulhu/Gumshoe for new people
I know there's been some talk in the past on the podcast about Trail of Cthulhu. While I'm rather new to running games online, I'm well familiar with the Gumshoe/Trail of Cthulhu stuff to help show it off to those curious & new to it. Note that these will be rather short sessions plus just going ove...

Re: Writers Block
Apart from just rest & dive into other things mentioned by others like TV or whatnot to get the imagination/writer mood refreshed. One thing that's worked for me on getting over the block is to take one of your favorite sections of a book or short story & just transcribe it. That or try writing up s...

storytelling board/card games
While I can go on & on about Arkham Horror, Eldritch Horror, Cthulhu Gloom & Elder Signs, here are a few I have (or have played enough to put them on the list) that can be a great gateway into the Cthulhu storytelling games/RPGs. Use this list as a hook as you might find the person who's interested ...

Re: Staring your own campaign
Think there was an MUP episode that goes over this some but here's my thoughts (which might also include some of the episodes here). Get a few scenarios that are somewhat tied together (several Secrets/Setting books are good as they have a descent collection themed to an area), put in a good startin...

Re: CoC Podcasts (including part 2 of the Fat Kids)
Thanks for putting this up. Do you have anything else you'd like to add (your favorites, well known people playing in the game, great RP/CoC moments, etc.)?

Re: MUP Special - Interview with Oscar Rios of Golden Goblin
I know that Oscar Rios can't see it, but with some of the stuff talked about in this MUP special, I'm throwing folded dollar bills at the monitor to just get my money locked into it now. The quality & depth of work from Golden Goblin Press on the Crescent City book was amazing & if the Caribbean + f...
