Simon says I need to have grabbier headlines on these posts, so I went a little Buzzfeed up there. Hope you like it. The Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition corebook contains 38 monsters.

by Ruth Tillman As someone who’d begun running Trail of Cthulhu this past year, Eternal Lies was already a temptation before I learned that my good friend Leah Huete would be doing some of the artwork. After that it became a must-buy and I began planning how I would run it. Unlike some Trail supplements, […]

One of the chiefest joys of roleplaying is the joy of taking an iconic hero or monster and re-skinning it in the light of your own campaign.

There’s at least as much art as science to conversions. Although I constantly refer to the ToC rulebook’s helpful guidelines, […]
See P. XX A column on roleplaying by Robin D. Laws SRD or SDD? With editorial for Hillfolk and Blood on the Snow completed, it’s time to take a break from DramaSystem to work on another of the obligations arising from our November Kickstarter. That would be the System Reference Document for Open GUMSHOE. On […]
I gotta say, it’s a good thing I already wrote GUMSHOE rules for expeditions. Because now I’m not surprised when everything takes longer and seems harder than it did when we planned this thing. Mythos Expeditions has, like its namesake, run into its share of excitement along the way. Promising paths had to be neglected, […]
