This may make you feel old, but 2011 is the 30th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu. Zip back in time to 1981. Sandy Petersen – he of Doom fame, yeah; the computer game – pitched a concept to the RPG publisher Chaosium that made use of Lovecraft’s Dreamlands setting. The original game, Dark Worlds, was […]
O’Rlyeh?
I love this. We have Etsy and Geekazoid to thank for this vinyl decal. It’s cheap too. I just wish it was available on a t-shirt or something as I’m really not sure what I’d do with a decal. There’s a serious space shortage in this tiny flat as it is. If you’re not familiar […]
Cthulhu snowglobe
This idea strikes me as both simple but effective. It’s a little tragic too because no matter how many earthquakes you cause – Cthulhu will never be able to emerge from R’lyeh. No, he’s trapped in this mighty “snowglobe” dome, only able to … wait, the actual product description over at Big Bad Toy Store […]
Deadly gamer cake
I have to wonder whether Geek Native is on a quest to share with other natives the very best cakes on the interwebs. Favourites so far have included the Cthulhu cake, the chestburster cake and the Superhero mashup cake. I think we to add this one to the list. I know it only as “the […]
Heart stopping Cthulhu birthday cake of chaotic joy!
This Cthulhu take is truely impressive. Not only is it visually stunning, it’s insane (always a plus for Cthulhu) and I’m sure it’s work of cake engineering genius. You really have to wonder whether this was a request or someone’s idea for the perfect birthday surprise! How are your sanity points doing? Via Neatorama.
Cthulthu in a cup
Behold the cosmic terror! Wail as your willpower melts to nothing and your brain disolves into a sticky white foam. Watch as your sanity dribbles out of your ear, is mistaken for brown sugar and added into lattes all around the coffee shop and prepare yourself for Cthulhu in a cup! Are you prepared! Can […]
Trail of Cthulhu book cover posters
I think Jérome Huguenin Rough Magicks cover is one of my favourite Cthulhu RPG illustrations. As it happens, Pelgrane Press has it and two others for sale in A2 poster form. If I bought one… just not sure where I’d put it. On the wall behind my desk at the office? Rough Magicks Arkham Detective […]
Mini Squishable Cthulhu and friends
I’m a fan of Squishable. I had one sent all the way from the States to Scotland. There’s now a full sized squishable baby panda in the flat. It’s very squishable. It’s also very big. I can see why Squishable have started to do mini squishables. Which three Squishables got the mini treatment first? Why, […]
The great Cthulhusaurus Rex
Some ancient creatures are scarier and rather more cool than others. Some of the most cool and scary creatures are not well known to science, not even to paleontologists. One such creature is the Cuthulhusaurus Rex. You could well say that the Cthulhusaurus Rex has its origins in the internet as it was discovered by […]
Cthulhu chant sung to the Tiny Toon theme song
Here’s a blast for the past. This was one of the best posts I’ve ever seen on Usenet and after all these years, don’t ask me why, I’ve dug it up to share here. This is a Cthulhu inspired song. The catch – it needs to be sung to the Tiny Toon song. As a […]
