In episode 120, Murf, Jon, Chad and Dan continue the Monster Bash Bestiary concept. Chad and Dan bring their picks to the table, and we think of ways to take unwieldy monsters to a game with gusto! This episode was recorded on April 3rd, 2017

Quick correction: The Legacy of Arrius Lurco was never a Chaosium property. It was a campaign from Miskatonic River Press. Murf apologizes.

The Unspeakable - new Lovecraftian RPG
New publisher Make Believe Games, founded by Mark Rein-Hagen, is partnering with Cubicle 7 Entertainment to produce The Unspeakable, an RPG inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth, expected later this year.

The first book for the new game, Sigil & Sign, will introduce the game setting, core rules, and themes. The project is planned to be funded through a Kickstarter campaign in April.

Jon briefly talks about Gary Con-

Jon got to game with a couple of his favorite comic creators, including Bill Willingham.



Listener Feedback!-

We got a couple of messages via Speakpipe from Joseph Outram in NZ! He is expressing his frustrations regarding the Horrors of War: A Covenant With Death Kickstarter.
We reached out to Adam Scott Glancy for updates or response, but he hasn't gotten back to us by the time of release.
Also a note that Joseph sent in two voicemails where he clarifies his thoughts. The one played in the show is an edit of them both together for clarity.

Got to see Keeper Jon working the Goodman booth and running his game at Gary Con. What a great show with lots of Call of Cthulhu and Old School gaming!
That’s what you young chaps have got to remember – when you run, run, full speed, with never a thought for anything else; don’t look or listen or dither even for an instant; let terror have his way, for he’s the best friend you’ve got- Harry Flashman

Gary Con was awesome as usual. So cool to hang out with Jon for a couple days!
