This was proved by all the specific questions we got from those same backers when we asked them - what do you want to know about pacing?

So while we don’t plan to wander into any specific triggering moments, it is a broad topic that may move into areas listeners find uncomfortable.…

This episode, Keepers Murph & Bridgett unpack horror gaming with Hunters Entertainment! Campus Crier The Campus Crier is where we talk about recent Mythos-related events and happenings in the world. This episode was recorded Thursday, August 24th, 2023. Our friend Mike Diamond of The Old Ways Podcast is currently accepting submissions for scenarios from Chaosium’s Community Content program for a chance to get the Full Diamond treatment of their works for Call of Cthulhu and Runequest. If chosen you can get a full theatrical episode with music, sound, voice acting, the whole hog. We have a link for the sign-up sheet in the show notes. https://bit.ly/YourScenario24 Our friend Dean Englehart of Cthulhu Reborn fame has just released H.P. Lovecraft’s Book of Yog-Sothothery in pdf with POD coming later in the year. “This book is a resource that seeks to pare away the later inventions and present the purely Lovecraft inventions, compiled with game statistics that make it easy to drop them into roleplaying scenarios, campaigns, and game settings. HPL's many Unnatural Entities, Weird Rituals, Cults, Artifacts, Tomes, and Places in this book can be considered a kind of “grab bag” of elements you can use to infuse any game world with a Lovecraftian flavor.” https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/449861/HP-Lovecrafts-Book-of-YogSothothery Patreon Plug & Update We have a Patreon!

Link in the show notes: MU Discord server invite link: https://discord.gg/vNjEv9D And thank you to our editor Max for editing this episode. Thanks Max! Bridgett’s Pet Pick Shout Out "Okay, listen. It's worth going to our show notes to see Jasper, doggo of friend and fan of the show, FredKiesche. I recognize that it's not winter, but you gotta see the look on this dog's face as it launches itself through the snow. It's the pick me up you need today, promise!" Main Topic -- Single location horror scenarios Persons in house/apartment/room Persons in vehicle Locked-Room Mysteries Class struggle in the vein of Upstairs, Downstairs but downstairs hears the prep, staging, production, fallout, and eventual aftermath of the event upstairs. The event could be the KiY or a ritual, mass murder, etc. Might be a staff only game of Regency, set entirely within the kitchens. (Sort of inspired by Miss Julie.) Players would have to defend against their mutated “Betters” who are storming downstairs to eat, pray, and be merry. Guests are invited to a house party in a friend of a friend’s apartment. Their friend never shows up, and a few guests seemingly go missing. There could be some fatally locked room, akin to Bluebeard, but their friend is actually within the trunk/coffee table at the center of the living room (a la Hitchcock’s Rope). A group of friends witness something horrible and are seen by the perpetrator, take a spin on Rear Window and have it based across the street from the original crime, with a single bad guy hell bent on murder, but a Charm skill that is astronomical. Take a page from Coherence and have a group of friends get together while Miller’s Comet streaks by overhead. There is an exact replica of their house next door, populated with an exact replica of themselves as well. Unbeknownst to the players, one of the guests arrives late and stumbles into the wrong house, their house. Things go even further sideways when a third house is revealed to have been there in the opposite direction the entire time.. By the end no one should be able to determine which house is real nor who is the original version of themselves. A one-shot maybe solo game, where the player(s) are part of a boiler room, akin to Glengarry Glen Ross even with a sadistic Alec Baldwin-esque boss. But the player(s) have to cold call a list of senior citizens and get them to send you money, in order to stay alive. Every dollar you gain is another second to live. After the first few calls, they find out that they can exchange a life for a life, giving the player(s) a moral quandary of whether they can help cause an old person’s death in order for them to live. A pastiche of various scenarios done for a single or pair of players that is similar to Four Rooms. Each room would be a small self-contained scene that puts the player(s), the hotel staff, in dangerous and morally fraught situations. Could just mine other scenarios for single good scenes. But they are entirely separate from one another, once the hotel room door opens, it starts, and doesn’t stop until they leave the room. So it would have to be punchy and fast. Paranormal investigators arrive to investigate the goings on in room 1408 of a downtown hotel. From the moment that they enter the room they are presented with an alternate reality. Everytime they attempt to leave the room,…

Leo is pictured at daycare with a dashing smile and model levels of posing. This Portuguese water dog is absolutely STUNNING! Thanks for sharing Leo with us, Evan, and thanks for breaking the bottle over the back of the "fresh MUP" ship each time it sails. Main Topic That Graham interview was so fantastic. I hope we can get him back sometime before 2033. At least 2032. To build on that conversation, which I was sorry to miss, I wanted to get us talking about Cthulhu Dark and other rules light investigative games. We both have experience with CD, so let’s start with a couple questions about the gameplay. First– let’s discuss the rules– because they’re decadent! What are your favorite parts of running or playing in a CD game? What is a favorite story from a CD game that couldn’t happen in a game with more mechanics? What do you think is different when playing a CD scenario? What do you think is different when running a CD scenario? What do you think is different when designing a CD scenario? Do you miss anything from CD or other rules light investigative games? How would you design a rules light game differently?…

This episode, Keepers Dave and Bridgett welcome back friend to the show Oscar Rios to discuss Golden Goblin Press, Invictus, the definition of a hero, and The Legacy of Arrius Lurco. Campus Crier The Campus Crier is where we talk about recent Mythos-related events and happenings in the world. This episode was recorded on February 23, 2023. Step further into the dark with the latest supplement for Call of Cthulhu! Nameless Horrors contains 6 scenarios featuring brand new elements of the Mythos that will keep even the most seasoned Investigator on their toes! Available worldwide March 8th. Good news - Laird Barron is home from the hospital! He of course has a long road to recovery but being home is a good indication that he’s heading in the right direction. For those who missed it, there is a Go Fund Me available to support his medical expenses that has raised $136,000 or so at the time of recording. Thank you to all listeners who supported Laird, and we wish him continued recovery. Speaking of needing help, Lovecraft Arts & Sciences is holding its Lovecraft Arts & Sciences 2023 Winter Fundraiser. Similar to the situation a couple years ago, they find themselves coming up short on the funding needed to keep the business running. Turns out NecronomiCon, for starters, was much more expensive than usual - with prices increasing across the board and attendance overall down from its normal capacity. Necro, the store, and all the supporting infrastructure is already run mostly on volunteer labor, and so the shortfall from last year now puts longevity at risk. The fundraiser is nearing $12k at time of recording, and we all know how important Necronomicon is to the community at large. Please take a moment to donate - even $5 adds to the bucket. Free League prepares to launch their kickstarter for The Walking Dead Universe RPG. Free League released two new game licenses for community creators – a Free Tabletop License (FTL) for the Year Zero Engine and a third-party license for the upcoming Dragonbane fantasy RPG. Finally, with the OGL controversy momentarily in our mirrors, the newest craziness occupying geek-minds is the rapidly growing proliferation of AI-generated materials, including art and now fiction writing, and probably around the corner… ttrpg scenarios and settings. The community has been struggling with AI-generated art for a while and now people are using ChatGPT and similar tech to create fiction wholecloth. Neil Clarke, editor of SF fiction magazine Clarkesworld (among others), recently paused his submission intake due to being overwhelmed by AI-generated stories. He wrote a very detailed blogpost, including stats and stories on how this technology has blossomed to overtake his meager intake resources. Worth a read if you want to see how this is specifically affecting the broader community. On the same note, Chaosium announced recently that it has banned AI art in its community creator communities, and one might think other creator communities would soon take similar measures.
