Very proud that my wife's Bridgerton inspired #RegencyCthulhu scenario, The Viscount Who Left Me, is now available in print!

Scandal and horror await the investigators as they hunt for a nobleman who vanished on his wedding night.

@miskatonicplayhouse.com is worth checking for actual plays of community written content for Call of Cthulhu - a large variety of scenarios that haven't been played elsewhere.

@lightlessbeacons.bsky.social does great long-form scenarios with high production quality.

It was the first time I'd run a session for the majority of these players, and by discussing the safety tools while planning the session and at the start of play we were able to have this conversation during the game. I had already amended the scenario due to a couple of lines highlighted pre-game.

After the session, we discussed with the player whether they wanted us to keep their X card in the game with explanation, just keep their use of the X card, or edit it out. The options was theirs, and they asked us to edit it out.

An example from a 2024 recording was a player using an X card to excuse themself from a scene involving a ouija board. We paused the game, and the player excused themself from the scene, returning in the next.

For the Dead Travel Fast! Our four week tour of Dracula is now over, and I've had the time of my (after)life playing the titular count on stage.

Fun little project: took receipt of a set of custom dice made by @epoxy-alchemist.bsky.social, based on a vintage Huntley & Palmers Breakfast Biscuits tin. Each die contains a miniature biscuit! Also pictured, two 3D printed 'D2' biscuits.

A shelf of books. The cover of one is facing forwards with a post-it note, reading "a catalogue of Mythos tomes by SR Sellens and Friends"

Just published a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, which features my first ever short story in print (Ex Libris)! It was great collaborating with so many creative minds on this. If you want a collection of 60+ tomes of forbidden lore for your game, check it out!

One of the best parts of coordinating a joint project for publication is seeing how creative everyone is. One of the other best parts is mocking up book covers for tomes that shouldn't exist!

Ran @sdorward.bsky.social's Catland in our Curse of Nineveh campaign tonight. Most investigators use force or cunning to solve problems. Mine are using bureaucracy and have called an EGM of the Cat Fancier's Association to try and solve a bloody feud. Surely nothing can go wrong!
