For those in the UK, Turn Back Time: The High Street visits the 1930s, tonight on BBC1 at 9pm. It’s highly recommended for scenario inspiration. Just imagine something eldritch and unspeakable beneath the butcher’s.

An actual play review of Trail of Cthulhu on rpg.net – 8/10. The Gumshoe system is an investigation-oriented one, and this orientation is well suited to many Mythos scenarios. We enjoyed playing our characters and didn’t have too much trouble picking up the system. I’d recommend it. It might not work for some scenario types […]
Graham Walmsley has signed and numbered all the limited edition Purist adventures. But Graham is a hands-on guy, as they say across the Pond. Here he is posting your set of limited edition Purist adventures. Next time, a lucky customer may receive a hand delivery.
Here we have a very thorough and in-depth review of Trail of Cthulhu and the GUMSHOE system from Paco G Jaen of G*M*S Magazine. Jaen talks very positively of Trail and how it fits in with Lovecraftian themes, as well as how the GUMSHOE system deals with the investigative aspects of the Mythos. “The Gumshoe […]
RetroPunk’s licensed version of Trail of Cthulhu is available on pre-release with “surprise gifts” for the early birds, or at least they promise me that’s what this says: A RetroPunk é uma editora pequena, essa é uma verdade do Mythos revelada desde o princípio, e por ser pequena, ela depende da ajuda de vocês para […]
The Big Green Existential Menace has been good to me lately, so when the squamous hordes at the Flames Rising horror webzine sought me out for a contribution to their ongoing Cthulhu week, I could hardly decline.

We are looking for playtesters for a short campaign set in the UK in the 1930s following a global, Mythos-related disaster in the 1930s. I’ve played through this, and it’s great, and very different to any other Cthulhu adventure. It’s written by Graham Walmsley, who wrote The Dying of St Margarets and The Watchers in […]
This is the last of the introductions to the composers for the Eternal Lies suite. My name is Yaiza Varona, I’m Spanish, born in Barcelone but lived most of my life in Tenerife, Canary Islands. I am a musicologist and composer. When James Semple offered me the chance to be part of this project, even […]
Following on with the music blog, I’m going to let Mike Torr introduce himself… I’m a composer with a broad spectrum of experience and influences. A long history as a keyboard performer (and one-time double bass player) has taken me through a landscape of Electronica, Blues, Classical, Jazz, and Rock; via the usual grind of […]
