This episode, Keepers Dave, Jon, and Murph welcomes President of Golden Goblin Press, Oscar Rios. Golden Goblin Press is about to launch a new Kickstarter for a pair of short story collections, so we thought it’d be a great time to read some short stories and discuss them. Enjoy!
Campus Crier
The Campus Crier is the Miskatonic University’s student newspaper. This edition was collected on July 16th, 2020.
One Book Shelf, the company behind DriveThruRPG has informed Chaosium that starting immediately they are suspending Print On Demand options for items within the Miskatonic Repository. Going forward only titles with Electrum status (250 sales or more) will have the POD status.
This is the same as a rule that DM’s Guild has had in place for some time now. The reasoning for the change is due to OBS just being swamped.
Good Friends of Jackson Elias Con has ended and it was a lot of fun! Jon ran some games, that I’m sure he will talk about endlessly in just a few minutes. Congrats to the Good Friends for putting together a wonderful online convention.
