MUP 119 – Dholing Out Greatness

In episode 119, Murf, Jon and Dan take a different look at the Bestiary concept. Jon and Murf each chose a Mythos creature that they just don’t care for, and we riff on them to see if we can make the creature seem more useful in game play. I think we were successful on both counts. This episode was recorded on March 20th, 2017   We want to hear from you!

Some things you just can’t unlearn I’m not a Call Of Cthulhu keeper/player, but I love this podcast. Hearing the guys talk about Cthulhu horror gaming gets my creative juices flowing. Maybe some day I’ll take the plunge, play some CoC and watch my sanity slip away, but even if I don’t, I’ll always listen to one of the best podcasts out there.

Thank you for the great reviews! Topic – Least Favored Monster Jon chose Dholes Murph has it in for The Great Race of Yith   Things mentioned during the conversations- Weird Detective: The Stars Are Wrong TPB The book that turned Murf around! Here’s an Amazon Associate link if you want to toss us a few of Amazon’s pennies. The Creeping Terror- Here is the full public domain movie on YouTube Here’s a very accurate review of said movie-

– The “Creeping Terror” is actually a monster from outer space that looks like a large, old carpet with weeds growing on it, and a head made of old shaver cables. It makes sounds like a 90 year old Asthmatic…

Here is a really accurate Creeping Terror Diorama Model that Dan would gleefully build if he could afford it. Discuss this episode on the Campus Forum.]]>
