Post World Games‘ King for a Day is now live at Drivethru RPG. This is a large, systemless, fantasy sandbox campaign with a focus on the sinister rather than splatter. The style is Lovecraft and the campaign is a chunky toolkit of people, places and events all pointed towards a “horrific and unreal finale”. The […]
A clue that you might be studying at Miskatonic University
This photo was shared with Reddit with a simple note. The note said that the photograph was taken in the female toilets at University. If you ask me a scene like this is important evidence. This sort of discovery lets you know that you’re studying at the Miskatonic University. Okay, it might not be called […]
Lovecraft Actually
Riffing off the British romcom Love Actually comes the deviant art of Dr Faustas. This is Lovecraft Actually.
H.P. Lovebrown and Snoopthulhu
The clever H.P. Lovecraft meets Charlie Brown mashup featuring Snoopy as Cthulhu was doing the rounds on Google+ so I investigated. As is often the case; this is a t-shirt. If you fancy it then Redbubble has a wide shipping range. The artist is Queenmob.
Necronomicon fragment LARP scrolls
The Litany of Dagon scroll Geek Native shared in August had its fans so I took notice when I came across Zarono on Etsy selling a range of Cthulhu and Necronomicon scrolls. The experience feels in keeping with the H.P. Lovecraft experience; I was browsing through Etsy’s wonders when I noticed the strange designs on […]
Will the Great Intelligence and the Yeti appear in the Doctor Who Christmas special?
This post is speculation. I’ve not seen any of the previews of The Snowmen, the 2012 Christmas special, and I’ve no insider knowledge.

If you’re worried that this speculation might be right and therefore might […]

The seed for this project originated in a discussion on RPG.net back in 2006. Science fiction is my favorite genre in which […]
Lovecraft horror RPG tremulus slaughters goals
[Pledge here] Tremulus (actually, I think the branding demands lower case t – tremulus) has a storytelling RPG Kickstarter project. We’ve seen some large projects in recent days but tremulus is at the other end of the evolutionary scale – asking for only $5,000. The result? At the time of posting, tremulus has slaughtered its […]
Hey There Cthulhu
Hey There Cthulhu is a special song. By Eben Brooks the song is a classic. The photomontage video appeared on YouTube just over four years ago – and now has over a million plays. I’m not sure there are a million people in the world today who have actually read an H.P. Lovecraft book. I […]
Review of Black Wings of Cthulhu
The Black Wings of Cthulhu is a collection of modern Cthulhu mythos stories – and I don’t know where to start. Do I start with S. T. Joshi? Joshi is responsible for compiling the book. That makes him a good place to start. He had edited a number of Lovecraft works and written studies like […]
