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
Fancy having a Mountains of Madness-themed set of Settlers of Catan? Frankly, this is a wonderful idea. A perfect idea. The dark whispers in my soul tell me so. 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
This impressive Cthulhu build was put together by Carl Merriam. To see the skill of the build just take a second to look at all the curves and smooth lines. This is a LEGO construct after all. These pieces come from dinosaur sets, snake models and other carefully repurposed blocks. Via Tested.com.

[Back this Campaign] The video above isn’t the Kickstarter pitch video for the project. There’s no such video. There’s an image header instead which you can see below. 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 […]
