Cthulhu Dice Tower Review
Playing with seven players at once has taught me that dice towers are a must, especially when playing with kids. I've run a Call of Cthulhu/D20 Modern game in the past, and this dice tower seemed perfect for that game, but it's actually a better fit for Dungeons & Dragons.
Call of Cthulhu  Reviews 
A Look Inside The Unspeakable Tomes of the Malleus Monstrorum
A monster manual for Call of Cthulhu always struck me as an odd proposition. It is not a game of heroic combat. It’s a game where players flee the monster until they can attack on their own terms, if at all. The game operates on a sense of mystery and the unknown. Players who can quote Deep One game statistics chapter and verse run the risk of deflating the atmosphere. The most recent release...

RPG Print News – Chaosium, Cubicle 7, Necrotic Gnome and More

What Are Publishers Doing For New Gamemaster Month?
What are Monte Cook Games, Chaosium, Evil Hat, Pelgrane, Atlas Games, and Arc Dream doing for New Gamemaster Month? I asked each of the companies how they’re supporting new GMs in the first major RPG “event” of 2021.

I’m Really Thankful I’m a Gamer
2020 continues to be challenging. And I don’t see going back to face to face gaming for a while yet. Though I miss gaming around a table rather than via pixels, I have found some unexpected joys in online gaming. Even with the ongoing troubles of the world.

Meet Ben Aaronovitch, Author of Rivers of London
Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London novels and graphic novels, kindly agreed to talk to me about his magical world and the upcoming RPG by Chaosium set in his world. Ben smiled, joked, and laughed throughout the interview and shared his joy of fiction and geeky things as if we were old friends. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing his thoughts and anecdotes and could only distill a small...

The Horror! of a Game That Never Ends
We've all been there: as kids, we started a Dungeons & Dragons campaign but never imagined, decades later, that we'd still be playing in a world we made up. Does it ever end? Should it?

The Horror! Call of Cthulhu's One Shot One Kill
Halloween is a great time to try Call of Cthulhu and run a horror one shot. Call of Cthulhu offers a deep delve into a fictional setting of ancient gods and horrific monsters all linked through ancient tomes and cults throughout the time of man as well as before and after humans walk the Earth. The more you play Call of Cthulhu, the more you immerse yourself in this primordial and eldritch...

The Horror! Delta Green Double-Tap
A two-shot of adventures to run this Halloween or anytime of the year: Kali Ghati and Lover in the Ice. Line up a haunting and finish off with some terrifying body horror running Delta Green. Both of these scenarios involve horrifying monsters of vastly different intent and presentation. Spoilers follow.
Call of Cthulhu 
RPG Print News – Chaosium, Cubicle 7, Free League, and More
These new RPG products are available in print in October 2020. Ask your favorite local game store to order a copy or order online. The Call of Cthulhu and the Delta Green adventures are perfect for Halloween and the Alien RPG Starter Set can kick off an entire campaign of terror. This week all of the offerings except Alien (but as a franchise also goes back a long way) are from RPGs with long...

The Horror! of Player Agency
Gamebooks provide a branching-path framework for a single player to determine their fate, with more advanced gamebooks using dice to resolve conflicts. But what happens when the choices you make are determining not just what but how the adventure takes place?

Lords of the Middle Sea: An Interview
I spoke with Jason Durall about Chaosium’s upcoming Lords of the Middle Sea Roleplaying Game for Basic Roleplaying. Based on Chaosium’s second board game of the same name, published in 1978, the setting is a post-apocalyptic ruined and flooded North America in 2401.
