Yog-Sothothery

by PoC on 7th September 2011 at 06:19 PM
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

Feeling Fezzy-Headed

by PoC on 27th July 2011 at 10:01 PM
As we mentioned in News from Pnakotus 13, there is in California a maker of certain headwear that has produced "the hat that should not be" - yes, the Cthulhu Fez!

Fez-o-rama make "fine embroidered velvet fezzes" - and I can now attest to that, as earlier today something velvety and fezz-like arrived on the doorstep of Innsmouth House (no, not the cat). Yes, I'm wearing a fez as I type this and I suspect the next time you hear me on one of our shows I'll be wearing it too. I

UK Games Expo 2011

by PoC on 6th June 2011 at 08:41 PM
As I've mentioned in the forums, Helen and I had a great time again at the UK Games Expo. It's a great opportunity for us to meet people from the site, make new friends and promote "Olde Yoggie" to people who'd not found us before (of which there were many).

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

My Favourite Convention Game

by PoC on 13th February 2011 at 04:58 PM
A Clockwork Fairytale RPG Scenario - VivantaEarlier today I was having a clear out of some old document folders and besides finding a host of fleshed-out but unused Call of Cthulhu characters (21), I also came across a character sheet for a completely unrelated game - a game I consider to be the best convention game I've played so far.

A Clockwork Fairytale

A Clockwork Fairytale was one of the games run at the UK Student Wargaming & Roleplaying Nationals held at Bangor in 2002. At the

Orient Express Sourcebooks for Free

by PoC on 12th February 2011 at 08:55 PM
VSOE Northern BelleI've been a fan of the Orient Express for many years. I've never travelled on it, but having watched films like Murder on the Orient Express as a child, the romance, luxury and style always appealed. It's one of the reasons I decided to run Horror on the Orient Express a few years ago.

While travelling on the train is out of our budget I instead do a little "armchair travelling" by requesting the free VSOE brochures every so often - and very nice they are
