Got my copy of the Sleepless City...is there a PDF of the handouts available somewhere? I hate to destroy my book's binding laying it flat to photocopy...

Good show guys. What was that Lovecraft word that sounds like a creepy description? The one Jon recommended as a baby name?

Squamous.

Great show, despite the attacks on Doctor Gerard and the Murph setting himself on fire.

Someone mentioned Monster Island on the show. I've read it. It was OK, but not enough that I finished the trilogy. I will say that the way they portrayed zombies was good.

You guys mentioned some type of Japanese mummies? Do you have a link?

Okay, so everybody gets that feeling of being "scooped" from time to time. My latest comes in consequence of picking up a copy of "Tales of the Sleepless City" after hearing Keeper Chad's review. I'm distraught . . . crushed, even . . . to see that one of the scenarios contained therein (I won't say which) closely resembles something that I've been working on independently for the past few weeks. Blargh. I wasn't necessarily writing it for publication, although I planned to make it available through the MUP Newsletter. Still, it does take the wind out of one's sails. Do I keep working on it, or just give up?

Insights?

Just make some changes to it so it won't be as close.
That does happen now and then. The framework of an investigative game does direct towards a certain type of scenario that is bound to be thought of by more than one writer.
