A well written and engaging review of Trail of Cthulhu by Emily Dresner. …the section on the Cthulhu Elder Gods/Outer Gods is superb and packed with so many incredibly insane ideas for running plots it is hard to talk about it without waving hands around incoherently. One small sentence about Elder Gods as meme loads […]

Matthew Pook reviews The Dying of St Margaret’s for Trail of Cthulhu. With its strong sense of deterioration and dilapidation, The Dying of St. Margaret’s is well deserving of eight phobias out of ten.
Matthew Pook has reviewed Trail of Cthulhu in Unspeakable Oath with very positive results. You can read the full review here. If ever there was a game writer spawned to author a Lovecraftian RPG, it is surely Kenneth Hite. Trail of Cthulhu is a harsher, grainier approach to Lovecraftian investigative horror.

If you want to run a player driven occult […]

Not because the adventure is astonishingly good and attractive, but because the thinking behind the book, the perfect sandbox layout and the second to none writing is as good as it gets. This is Robin D. […]
Pookie has posted a review of Graham Walmsley’s, The Rending Box, on Reviews from R’lyeh. What The Rending Box does is provide an explanation that caps the series while still providing another bleak story. What sets it apart from the previous three though is that it actually comes with a climatic ending. Well, a potential […]
John Stavropoulos declared Armitage Files his Best RPG Purchase of 2010. Read more here. Why do I love it? Most modules don’t fit my style of GMing.
