I've just looked at my GM notes for tonight's game of Cthulhu by Gaslight.

Scratchy, scrawly, weird lines, jumbled ideas, half-baked concepts, and to top it all, vaguely incomprehensible.

It's like a mythos tome all of my own!

This mostly inspired by a scenario I wrote for my Cthulhu by Gaslight group, which suggested that the Hyperboreans, fleeing the ice, would then settle the surrounding land masses.

My players, on the trail of a missing archaeologist, uncovered a lost Hyperborean artifact in Scotland.

Cheers mate! I try (try being the operative word) to sort of half-tell a story, at least imply an idea of what's going on - but not too much. I like an ambiguity in the relationships between my tiny characters πŸ™‚

Why do I draw so much?

- I rarely sleep well (so extra hours)

- I started drawing late in my life (so I'm driven AF)

- It feels bloody marvellous to make things. I love it. I love drawing.

That's it!

I've only a few books by @guygavrielkay.bsky.social over the years, but I started Written on the Dark yesterday and am already a glorious 100 pages into it.

Just brilliant πŸ™‚

Honestly, seeing Symbaroum’s art (ten?) years ago - I can remember being absolutely gobsmacked by it - and that’s before I ever even dreamed about trying to learn to draw! πŸ™‚
