It's been nearly a year since I wrote an blog entry here on ole' Yoggie. And my how things have changed in that time. I'm working again, had a Cthulhu Invictus scenario published and got myself a nice little laptop. So what brings me back to this lovely forum of words and madness?

Horror on the Orient Express, of course! And by that I mean I've recently had an opportunity to do some play-testing for some of the new material to be included the upcoming re-release of this legendary ...
