AdamAlexander Posted 6 December, 2018 Thank you Secret Shoggoth for the wonderful books that arrived on my doorstep today. They are much appreciated! Have a Merry Yithmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mysterioso Posted 6 December, 2018 Cyclopean thanks to my Secret Shoggoth for the Boris Karloff movies collection and the nifty Cthulhu socks! With the latter, it is now wingtips on the outside but cultist under the pant leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maccabeus Posted 6 December, 2018 Immeasurable thanks to my Secret Shoggoth for the spectacular Call of Cthulhu silent movie poster from the HPLHS! It's going to look great hanging on the scant bit of wall space not taken up by bookshelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galbraith Posted 7 December, 2018 Thanks to my Secret Shoggoth for the nice HotOE deck of cards and fiction collection, and the really nice prop coins that came along as well! I look forward to paying my players the wages of sin with them. A happy Solstice to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBSteve Posted 7 December, 2018 Ho, ho, ho! Secret Santa has been and left me a very lovely copy of weird Indiana. I set the Trail of Cthulhu demo game in this fine state and always had plans to develop it more. Now I have a reason and the means to do! Thanks so much, whoever you are!

Rayven Posted 7 December, 2018 Love craft cooking?...Who would have thought. And those Cthulhu socks are amazing!!!!! I can hardly wait for the mail. o.O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlesWard Posted 8 December, 2018 Thank you Secret Shoggoth for this wonderful book. I look forward to reading up on my history... I mean Vampire history; I've said too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PoC Posted 9 December, 2018 Thank you Secret Shoggoth for the gift of edible horrors! Hotel Chocolat with added mythos-y customisation... They turned up in the middle of our nameless: Manderely Mysteries II game so Patrons will be able to hear them arriving on audio. 😎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WinstonP Posted 10 December, 2018 May Tsathoggua heap the bounty of lost empires upon my Secret Shoggoth who delivered unto me a book of North Carolina ghost stories that had tucked inside it old newspaper clippings and a post card! A ghoulish Yule-tide to one and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClarenceColeman Posted 10 December, 2018 Waiting to open my gift until past Solstice until Christmas and my own birthday is tough, but the shock of my in-laws is worth it. My youngest opened mine, shrieked in delight for me and then repackaged it. Now the Super Secret Shoggoth Surprise will have greater effect on the uninitiated.

Afraid of the dark Posted 12 December, 2018 Ah the mysterious Shoggoth sends gifts from afar! A rather small hat (which I then realised was a dice bag, yeah OK, I'm slow on the uptake!), a handmade christmas stocking (which shows that an amorphous Shoggoth with no hands can still sew better than me!), stickers, a cultists membership badge (shhhh, I don't advertise membership) many stickers to spread the word, and a handmade colouring book, that contains such things that if given to a small child would ensure social services would probably be called Dare I look! Thank you for taking the time and making such effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WinstonP Posted 12 December, 2018 I was wrong to sssume my gifts were at an end! Lo, a bar of stovecsrver’s soap (rosemary scented, shaped like a gravestone) arrived yesterday. Thanks to my Shoggoth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayven Posted 12 December, 2018 o.O Cthulhu cultist tags!!!!!!! I want a set of these. Some one presses grave shaped soap....You learn new things everyday. These are some awesome gifts so far I'm so anxious waiting for mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabrielconnor Posted 12 December, 2018 My secret shoggoth went a bit mental and blessed me with 6 new books! Granted, I'll need to learn German for 2 of them, but still! Thank you Secret Shoggoth!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Munchezuma Posted 13 December, 2018 My Secret Shoggoth birthed some children on my porch and they arrived in lovely batrachian green sacs. I hope it is okay if we leave them there until Christmas morning. I'll be sure to leave them cookies and milk until then. Thank you Secret Shoggoth! More pics when they hatch!

Chitin Posted 13 December, 2018 Thanks, Secret Shoggoth! Dark Adventure Radio Theatre and some other props from HPLHS are always wonderful to get! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayven Posted 17 December, 2018 @Chitin, Hay let me know how those Dark Adventure Radio are! I've been eyeing them for a while but money is tight at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can tell you from personal experience that they are all amazing! I have almost all of them. The propwork is generally superb (the @HPLHS prides itself on museum-quality replications), the sound effects are great, and the voice actors are quite talented. If funds are tight, you can order DART adventures as digital downloads at a substantially lesser cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maccabeus Posted 17 December, 2018 Just when I thought it was over, I received what might be the most Lovecraft-ian gift possible from my Secret Shoggoth -- a guide to cemeteries in New England! Not only does it provide hand-drawn maps and written overviews, but the entries are interspersed with bits of poetry from the likes of Lord Byron, Edmund Burke, and Cotton Mather. I also really, really like the accompanying postcard that will soon find use as a bookmark in my @YSDC Eternal Journal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClarenceColeman Posted 18 December, 2018 Another package arrived, this one from overseas. It is addressed to me and this username, so both real and YSDC names. It must be a Secret Shoggoth gift?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carnage_lee Posted 19 December, 2018 I've received three packages over the last couple of days, ones that I wasn't expecting. The first envelope contained these two handsome bookmarks, which will be heavily used, luckily they feel quite robust and are laminated so I expect them to last for quite a while. The note on the packing slip promised more goodies. Last night, two more packages were waiting when I arrived home. There wasn't any arcane markings on these to identify them as coming from my Secret Shoggoth but I feel that they must be from that generous and eldritch entity. Now I need to decide which bookmark goes into which book. Thank you, Secret Shoggoth, for your generous gifts - the stars are definitely right for reading over the festivities.

ClarenceColeman Posted 19 December, 2018 Yes, a Secret Shoggoth from the past surprised me again, too. What a happy band of people. Thanks for organizing it, Helen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayven Posted 19 December, 2018 :S....I'm still waiting for my package...I wonder where its coming from? I'm so excited! Everyone has sent such wonderful items so far, The secret shoggoth's have always been remarkably generous and show amazing good will to their fellows. I hope anyone participating in Canada doesn't have to wait to long either though, those postal strikes are still ongoing, it must be a real mess out there.

fluffy Posted 19 December, 2018 Thank you so much, Secret Shoggoth, now when I go back to Boston in 1936 I will not be lost and may be mistaken for a local. I have recently discovered Charles Stross and am so pleased with the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karloff Posted 19 December, 2018 Oho! Arrived today from some sinister squamous sender, one perilous perturbing package stuffed with loot! Floridian loot, what's more ... mmmm ... Floridian .... Many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
