In episode 119, Murf, Jon and Dan take a different look at the Bestiary concept. Jon and Murf each chose a Mythos creature that they just don’t care for, and we riff on them to see if we can make the creature seem more useful in game play. I think we were successful on both counts. This episode was recorded on March 20th, 2017   We want to hear from you!

Plans are already under way for a replacement magazine covering the same genres and systems as Protodimension and made by creators who worked on that publication, but it appears that no more Dark Conspiracy III material will be forthcoming from Kinstaff. When the new magazine is ready to go live we will let people know. Thanks MUP!” – Lee Williams, former PDM editor Lil splainer: Protodimension WAS a free PDF publication focusing on modern and near-future horror and conspiracy genre roleplaying.

Hearing the guys talk about Cthulhu horror gaming gets my creative juices flowing. Maybe some day I’ll take the plunge, play some CoC and watch my sanity slip away, but even if I don’t, I’ll always listen to one of the best podcasts out there. Thank you for the great reviews!

The Creeping Terror- Here is the full public domain movie on YouTube Here’s a very accurate review of said movie- – The “Creeping Terror” is actually a monster from outer space that looks like a large, old carpet with weeds growing on it, and a head made of old shaver cables. It makes sounds like a 90 year old Asthmatic… Here is a really accurate Creeping Terror Diorama Model that Dan would gleefully build if he could afford it. Discuss this episode on the Campus Forum.]]>
