Miskatonic University Podcast MUP 131 – Post-Con Debriefing
Keeper Dan here. Deepest apologies for the lateness of getting this out on the feed. The combination of schedule, tech issues, and personal needs really made this a slog to edit. It is now done though. There is a part about halfway through where I have no audio for 12 minutes. No idea what happened there. Also, if there are folks who listen with kids present, you may want to don the headphones for this one. I didn’t bother cutting out all the cursing because there was a lot of it, and there was a creature called a Shit Weasel that just wouldn’t be the same without the full moniker.
Enjoy the show!
This episode, Murf, Chad, Jon and Dan get together to talk about the amazing time it was at NecronomiCon Providence 2017! This episode was recorded on, August 28, 2017.

Horrors of War — Adam Scott Glancy made an update to the Horrors of War Kickstarter on Aug 15th, the day before most of us went out to Necronomicon. In it he is apologizing for being mostly absent from the project and letting it linger this long. He also gives some very personal reasons for his absence. Scott suffered a devastating loss in his close personal family in late 2016. This unfortunately spiraled him into a depression that he himself didn’t realize he was in until he suffered another loss. The death of a close personal friend earlier this year brought the fact that he might have a mental illness to the forefront and he sought professional help.
It is his full intention to complete this project in its entirety, but realizing his mistake he is offering a full refund on the project to any backer that might want it. He does not give a hard date on when the project should be finished now that he is better and refocused, but he does say it should be done by GenCon 2018.
