Oo. Shudder. It’s getting dark earlier. The winter is drawing in. This is the time of the year that horrors begin to bubble closer to the surface in nightmares and visions. Let’s turn our attention to the world K.L. Turner, aka Electixx, a conceptual artist of surreal skill. For your dreaming wisdom; Gigantocephalopodes irradiatus Moorish […]

The Settlers of Catan go to the Mountains of Madness

Part six in the “Cultists of R’lyeh” series from MRX Designs shows us the way to awakening. Glue-guns and foam help transform the famous game into […]
The pure evil blocks of LEGO Cthulhu

The video was actually quite important though. It helped convince me that this wasn’t a fake Kickstarter project. There’s no mention of the pitch on Chaosium’s homepage […]
