Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft. It's the seminal cosmic horror short story featuring the Cthulhu Mythos. The majority of horror gaming is dominated by the Cthulhu Mythos, so reading the source is a good idea. Many of H. P. Lovecraft's other stories are worth reading as well. Incredibly...

I've done pbp on dedicated forums before but never discord. So I'm not sure how well any of this will translate to discord. This also assumes asynchronous play, where you're not generally logged on at the same time or able to immediately reply. I set up multiple threads to disseminate...

I get it, I've been that guy before, but y'all do know you can simply stop feeding the troll, right?

As I said in the other thread. This is a good statement / video by Joseph Goodman and he should be applauded for making it. What troubles me is that for some reason he didn't think to make this statement on Saturday, or Sunday, or Monday...etc. It was only after all the backlash that we got...

If you can’t tell the difference between legality and morality, I’m not sure there’s much to discuss.

Yes, absolutely. I posted about this a while ago in another thread so I won't repost that all here. This also applies to the rules of the game. In about 40 years of playing these games, they fall into a distinct pattern. The more rules you have, the more the players and referee will expend...

So much time. I do that regularly even without having a project I need fonts for. Here's a wonderful font rabbit hole. These are all open-source fonts free to use for whatever. Just make sure they're marked OFL (Open Font License). 2100+ Free Open Source Fonts (OFL) › Fontesk Google also...

That would apply here if Joseph Goodman himself weren't one of the people front and center leading the charge to come out against Judge's Guild back in 2020. Giving Goodman a pass here and now in 2025 requires ignoring the fact that the same guy is fully and completely aware of exactly how these...

This is a good statement / video by Joseph Goodman and he should be applauded for making it. What troubles me is that for some reason he didn't think to make this statement on Saturday, or Sunday, or Monday...etc. It was only after all the backlash that we got this statement. GG really should...

Go to the YouTube video and read the transcript. The personal stuff starts around the 25:00 mark.

Sigh...

Come on, man. Don’t “well, actually…” your way into carrying water for Nazis.

May I introduce you both to this thread. https://www.enworld.org/threads/osr-news-roundup.684824/ As mentioned... Also, a great place to start is with Shadowdark.

Exactly. When you invite the bigots in you push their targets out. It doesn't matter what your intentions are. You have to pick a side. Who is your space for? If it's for reforming bigots, then it's explicitly not for their targets. If it's for minorities, people of color, etc...then it...

I think there might be a new philosophy in there somewhere. Pessimism is based on the idea that this is the worst of all possible worlds. What about a philosophy based on the idea that this is the dumbest of all possible worlds? I’d suggest Absurdism but there’s already a cool philosophy with...

It was written into the Frog God contract and JG violated that.

Shadowdank?

Exactly.
