Thoughts on conventions.
Kraken 2012 report The Kraken is a bi-annual gaming vacation at the Schloss Neuhausen in Germany. It is run by the people who ran Tentacles and has now established itself in its own right. While far from being limited to Call of Cthulhu there is plenty of that available and certainly enough Lovecraftian influence to make it worth reporting on at yog-sothoth.com.

This year we'd managed to up our ...

I opened it with the conceit that the characters were a Bridge club that met weekly for a few rubbers, and were just packing up for the night when their nice neighbour across the road, the widower Bernie Corbitt, got home, and fumbled one of his parcels as he unlocked the door. That ...
I am currently in Seattle for the Association of American Geography annual conference, where I participated and presented on urban nightscapes. That is about how cities look and function at night. Now we all know the night is when the best of CoC and other rpgs play out so here are some tidbits I gleamed might help your campaign descriptions. At the end I ll provide a few sources to read. First there was a good presentation on the night itself. The presenter talked about how the ...
