The Golden Locket, the Auburn Hair, and the Bones

This is a Christmas story. That said, it is not a story about Santa, or the Christ child, or Scrooge. It’s my Christmas story.

I am not a person given to a lot of nostalgia. I think I should make that clear from the beginning. I had left my old life behind me some years before to pursue the family business, and that had left no place in my life for Sandra. I knew she would not approve of my new lifestyle, so I never bothered to explain to her what had happened. She was ever a practical person, so I was sure she would mourn for a time, find someone new, and move on with her life. When I saw the golden locket around the neck of my latest subject, however, it reminded me of her. She had always worn such a locket, and, although this elderly woman was not her, it made me think, for the first time in ten years, about my Sandy. In a fit of nostalgia, I took the locket from her, knowing she would not miss it. Continue reading »

Special Announcement.

In a effort to generate more visitors to our site, we’ve been trying to actively recruit Cthulhu fans to visit shoggoth.net. Unfortunately we’re not finding fans fast enough for our liking. As such, we’ve begun manufacturing our own fans here in-house. That said, our RPG editor phobia got the ball rolling last night with a 8lbs 4oz girl named Rachel Lynn. Congratulations David, we wish you all the best.

NOTE:Your loyal webmaster will not be following in this as there are special agreements with the US government and NATO stipulating I can not breed.

Servitors of the Spider-God, Atlach-Nacha

From “The Seven Geases,” a short story by Clark Ashton Smith, comes the Great Old One named Atlach-Nacha. Since like most other Great Old Ones Atlach-Nacha has campaign ending power, the keeper can now foil the best laid plans of investigators with a new, equally horrific, and slightly less powerful mythos creature that serves this Spider-God.

Hellboy: A Belated Game Review

I’d meant to originally write this up when it first came out, but life intervened. However, I’d still like to make a plug here for the Hellboy RPG and Sourcebook by Steve Jackson Games. While not strictly Mythos oriented, both the protagonists and the villains dance around the edges of Lovecraftian.

Not exactly Cthulhu, but certainly creepy

Was watching a bit of the Today Show this morning (a scary concept in and of itself), and they had two gentlemen on there who were peddling a rather unique house.



You see, they got ahold of a closed missile silo, and renovated it into a luxury home. Current bid is around $2 million, but you can “Buy It Now” for $25 million. If you do the latter they toss in extra amenities like your own helicopter.

To give this the added air of relevance, I sent them an email to see if they’d be willing to sell floorplans.
