Thee, Nemesis, I call, almighty queen, by whom the deeds of mortal life are seen: eternal, much revered, of boundless sight, alone rejoicing in the just and right.

“He then saw too bizarre creatures running after him. They were short, and looked like a half man, half monkey. They were covered in dark hair. Martinez reached the car, fumbling with his pockets for the keys. He was then suddenly grabbed from behind. He fell together with his assailant into a ditch beside the road…he managed to break free and scrambled towards the car. The creature jumped on top of him, screaming.” – eyewitness report, Albert Rosales’s Humanoid Sightings Reports Continue reading
About the Scenario – This adventure takes place on the island of Martinique, in early May of 1928. The story begins in the capital of Fort-De-France and should end in the mountains to the north, along the road leading to the city of St. Pierre. The title refers to a Martinique proverb, “L’homme est pour le purgatoire, la femme pour l’enfer”, which translates to “A Man to Purgatory, A Woman to Hell.” This means that men are punished for their sins but women are dammed for them. It involves a missing man, his vengeful mistresses, his wife, their secret, and La Diablesse, a creature of Martinique’s folklore. Continue reading
La Diablesse by

These creatures begin as a normal human woman who are transformed and corrupted by dealings with various dark powers, most often The Black Man, avatar of the Outer God Nyarlathotep. Their creation follows a dark pact, wherein the woman uses magic to secure the romantic attentions of a particular man. Her wish is granted but with a price. When the object of her affection dies, typically by a tragic accident shortly after her wish is fulfilled, her dark contract is fulfilled. The “accident” is always caused by the malevolent that made the pact; as such beings seldom play fair. The woman is transformed into an immortal creature cursed to lead men to their doom.

“Triangular Head. Huge, slanted black eyes. Just like a Praying Mantis. It’s whole body was gangly, nobby…but you could still sense it was powerful, and no– I would not say it was a “Big Bug”– it was definitely humanoid despite the mantis/insect qualities…”

We’ve been secretive with the list of monsters so far, and that is no longer necessary. As such, as monsters are revealed, if they don’t already have art, we’ll be listing them here as available. If at any time all currently revealed monsters have all their art shown, duplicates; other renditions of the monsters by other artists, will be accepted. Continue reading

It’s 2015 and that means a whole new October.. and as we all know around these parts.. that means a whole new OctoberNomicon!! As such we’re asking YOU, our faithful readers to start thinking up horrors to inflict upon your fellow Cthulhu fans. Continue reading
The people have spoken. Our very own EvilKitten has won the OctoberNomicon submission contest. Her entry was the Ululatus Anima; the anthromorphism, if such a vague/blunt term could be used, of the very sound created by the demon flutists to placate the blind nuclear chaos that is Azathoth. What the colour out of space is for artists, the Ulutatus Anima is for musicians. We both congratulate EvilKitten, and worry for her neighbours. What horrors does she have for us in the future? Only time will tell, especially now that she will be armed with a brand new copy of Tales of the Crescent City, generously donated by Golden Goblin Press. Thank you all that submitted entries and all of you who voted.
Remember kids, we’re not *just* OctoberNomicon, you’re welcome to submit content to us year round. When in doubt, feel free to email at trollboy@ well the domain name you’re currently on. Godspeed!
