Topic quest: Lovecraft wrote what he feared
So I'm driving myself slightly round the bend trying to remember where I heard something. I'm 99.9% sure it was an episode of MUP so I'm hoping the other alumni can put me right. I don't remember the title, main topic or even what the segment was about! What I do remember was that discussion of HPLs...

Re: MU Podcast 064 - Suppressive Fire and Shelves of Mythos
During the segment on Miskatonic West, you had an interesting discussion about why Mythos TV seems to struggle. Definitely agree with the point that ‘web series’ tends to not whip up too much enthusiasm, although I’m not sure why – bad stuff is definitely out there, but it’s equally a cheap way to d...

Re: MU Podcast 063 - Star Spawn of GenCon!
A plot centred around a sinister tome, you say? Maybe someone should write a series of blog posts obsessively discussing the minutiae of powerful magical boo- oh right, I was doing that . Nice to be ahead of the curve for once... One thought that struck me during some of the discussion was, you coul...

Re: MU Podcast 061- Dark Times on the Road to Leng
Sorry to keep hogging the board, but look what YSDC just put up! A 1922 guide to the Isle of Man!
Looks like the stars are coming right...
EDIT: As Jon has correctly pointed out to me, this is only available to Patrons, I'm afraid.

Re: How to you make a creepy atmosphere in your games?
Well, technically I don’t, we tend to take more of a "Carry on Cthulhu" approach, but I’m not one to miss pontificating when I get the chance. Most people don’t have the option, but a room that’s significantly too big is a nice subtle one. Like, a café where you’re the only people and sat in the mid...

Re: MU Podcast 061- Dark Times on the Road to Leng
Until about 1000AD, basically everything from Ireland to the Gaelic bits of Scotland was just a continuum of Middle Irish dialect, although Scotland was probably diverging a fair bit. A couple of centuries later, the Scottish and Manx dialects were drifting well away from Irish, with some influence ...

I'm just listening to this one now, so some quick answers to the Manx conversation. Not such a bad guess on the Scandanavian, actually. Manx was so...

Re: MU Podcast 061- Dark Times on the Road to Leng
There was more to the story actually. The Lord in question was the son, his father recently dying and he being the new hope. Coming back from the Holy Land with gifts and promise of a new peace and prosperity. In reality he was up to no good. :axe: And yes the clan chiefs did have to report to the ...

Re: MU Podcast 061- Dark Times on the Road to Leng
The Lord made a deal with some Viking Deep Ones to attack the gathering with the understanding that they kill all the unruly men, with the breeding age women as payment. I like the general idea, but... the Laird deliberately sells his own family line to the Deep Ones (and essentially to extinction)...

Re: MUP 59 – Build a Better Rat Trap...
I'm still midway through this one, but wanted to give out early props for the first ever (as far as I can tell) mention of the Isle of Man in RPG circles. Mannin aboo! I have (very) distant daydreams of doing some RPG writeups of the Isle, as well as my native Merseyside area. It has this interestin...
