Trail of Cthulhu
The Grim Blogger of Grim Reviews (who happens to be kicking my ass with the quality and quantity of Mythos content he posts) has yet more good stuff up on his site! This time its about the GumShoe system based RPG “Trail of Cthulhu” and he’s got all sorts of good comments and links to entertain and inform you about the game.
After having listened to the recorded audio of a sample game over at Yog-Sothoth.com, and then listening to their interview with the guys of Pelgrane Press, I forone am highly intrigued by the game. Heres a little bit of a summarization I remember from the audio. “They wanted to make a game that kept dice rolling when it was fun, but removed dice rolling when it wasn’t”. They’ve come up with a point cost system to remove dice rolling for parts of the game mechanics. You can hear more details in the YSDC interview audio on Yog Radio #27.
Now I just need to find the time and people to play with! Not to mention pre-ordering the game manuals!

Thanks for the kind words, Joseph. Don’t sell yourself short though, you continue to highlight some great horror items, and have an amusing web comic. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Grim! Its always good to hear encouragement. I’ve been a bit busy lately (lately being over a month now), so I’ve been feeling like I don’t put much effort into my posts or my comic. Although I’ve been spending quite some time on the comic I’m working on now, so at least thats a change.
