Even though I’m here talking about writing horror, I am far from an expert. One can even say that I don’t know what I’m doing. All I’m doing is talking about the tips and tricks that seem to work for me, and if they work for you, that’s great, and if they don’t well… sorry. […]
In 1928, Weird Tales published H.P. Lovecraft’s short story, Call of Cthulhu. The story that Lovecraft is most known for and the only story that I can describe as a cosmic game of Don’t Wake Daddy.

Let us just move aside the beginning paragraph fluff that tries to hook readers into reading the review because I want to talk about this RPG called Death in Space. Setting: The Dying Universe The setting of […]
“Brainstorm. Outline. Visualize” Once you have a basic understanding of “The Idea” of the scenario, the next thing to do is write up a basic outline. This helps as a reference to fall back to, and a secondary brainstorming exercise as you will be thinking about “The Idea” in more depth. When writing a scenario […]
“I think one of the hardest things about starting anything new is where should one begin.“ A common question that I see being asked a lot on the internet from people who want to start running Call of Cthulhu: What scenario should I start with? Call of Cthulhu has many excellent scenarios and campaigns, but […]
