Talking about the Yog-Sothoth web site.
This is a follow-up entry to "More Adventures in 3 Dimensions". In that previous post I talked about how I first became interested in 3D pictures due to being allowed to play with my Dad's old View-Master at an influential age. Now I'm returning to that subject because of something rather neat I discovered recently. While producing the YSDC 15th Anniversary USB Data Stick I decided to include a set of anaglyph "MythoVision" glasses and provide some additional content on the stick/card ...
So yesterday I opened up a new forum area for YSDC Patrons ("The Silver Lodge") and at the same time brought out the first issue of Yog-Sothothery, a newsletter for members of the new "Lodge". It's been a long and winding path getting to this point. For a long time we've wrestled with how to pay olde Yoggie's bills month in, month out either through advertising/sponsorship, subscription or online sales. Our offerings through the Innsmouth House store tick over thanks to kind customers ...
As I've mentioned in the forums, Helen and I had a great time again at the UK Games Expo.

On the Friday we arrived at the Expo in Birmingham (after getting lost just the once this year) and unpacked "Carthulhu" and set up the Yoggie table in anticipation of the main Sat/Sun Expo days. This year we'd managed to up our ...
I love books. I have a lot of them. In fact at one point, really too many for where we lived and so there was a cull of some of the much less used tomes prior to our moving to the new Innsmouth House. These days I have a small core library but I'm much more wary of filling up the bookshelves again (at least for non-Lovecraftian items ). I've also kept an interested eye on the developing electronic book market, having seen the introduction of the Amazon Kindle ...
So I recently re-entered the world of Facebook. The first time round I signed up to see what it was about but didn't do much with it (especially after having 4 million "become a zombie/vampire" requests) and my attention was (and is) pretty much elsewhere. This unfortunately upset some people who were unhappy I hadn't accepted their Friend requests. The truth was I simply wasn't using Facebook and only peeked in every couple of months, so I shut down my ...
