Campus Crier

The Campus Crier is the Miskatonic University’s student newspaper. This edition was collected on September 24th, 2020.

The Mansions of Madness hardcovers by Chaosium are available. This is the first of two volumes filled with scenarios set in horror-haunted homes. This volume contains five adventures, two classic scenarios, Mister Corbitt and The Crack’d and Crook’d Manse, and three new scenarios, The Code, The House of Memphis, and The Nineteenth Hole.

Friend of the show and fellow podcaster Michael Diamond has a new book Time of the Serpent on the Miskatonic Repository. This awesome new adventure even includes audio clues!

A new version of The Thing boardgame is on Kickstarter now. It looks like this may be an enhanced and updated version of the previous edition. If you’re a fan of The Thing, you need to check this out.

Helstrom the TV series is coming out on Hulu. This looks like it is the Marvel Comics character, Helstrom, the Son of Satan. The trailer looks cool.

Heroquest is coming back! Hasbro is taking pre-orders and funding the game through their own in-house funding campaign called HasbroPulse. They were looking to collect $1,000,000, and they’ve already funded with 43 days remaining in the campaign at the time of this recording. 

Recent Gaming

After Dave’s break, he’s back at it with his modern Call of Cthulhu game playtesting. Also running and playing in games at Yog-Sothoth.com ConvoCation! Should be fun!

Murphs has started playing in the Alien campaign Destroyer of Worlds run by iPwned (aka Chris) from the discord channel. And our editor Max has started an Icons game on Wednesday that has been rather fun.
