About this Episode

Episode 14

RPG character creation starts at 25:10.

In this week's episode, we discuss one of our favorite horror writers as we approach Halloween. In addition to talking Lovecraft the man, we also discuss the mythos in general and a bunch of games and influences his work has inspired. At the end, we finally start our Call of Cthulhu RPG by rolling some characters and filling in the backstories for our brave investigators. Listen to the process of character creation and the hilarity when appearance rolls go bad. Thanks for listening, and join us next time for the exciting start to our campaign!
