"Yoggie" is 15 years old today (we celebrated on The Silver Lodge show and had a small cake - as you can see below).

Rather than go over the old "we made it through another year" sentiment I thought we'd do something different. To mark a decade and a half of the web site we're offering up a gift: the Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion.

Announcing the 1st YSDC Games Day, to be held on Saturday, 29th June (2013) in Shipley, West Yorkshire.

Can you get to Yorkshire the last Saturday in June? Then why not pick up a ticket and come along and have some fun!

A year ago we started the Cthulhu World Domination Tour, sending a small Cthulhu plush toy to willing hosts around the world. On arrival, a few pictures are shared and a small donation made to a local charity of choice before sending Cthulhu on his way.
