Fear’s Sharp Little Needles

By trollboy Published February 5, 2017

I hesitated at first from posting this, because [Full Disclosure] two people from this site are in it, however..  as this one is currently rushing 5x their asking price and is blazing past their stretch goals… so now is the time to get in on the action!!

This is a collection of dark, horrifying two hour scenarios set in our modern age.  Although we are obviously biased, this is a great book and essential to a modern campaign.

Review: Cult of the Dead and Other Weird and Lovecraftian Tales by Lois Gresh

Cult of the Dead by Lois Gresh

Cult of the Dead by Lois Gresh

Years ago when I read Clive Barker’s Books of Blood, I was amazed at how original his horror stories were. They were new and unique, with takes on the horror genre I had not seen before. It was not until I read Lois Gresh’s Cult of the Dead did I feel the same way about an anthology of horror stories.

Cult of the Dead is a collection of 20 “weird and Lovecraftian tales” by veteran horror author Lois H. Gresh. The stories are self-contained, having been published over the course of the author’s career and collected into this work. Each story is excellently written and transports the reader into the world Gresh creates. Her writing style is as unique as her stories, which takes a little bit to get used to, but works well with the tales she unfolds for the reader.

Not everyone has had the good fortune to see through an- other’s eyes. But before you’ve misunderstood me, and taken for a cliché what in the author’s mind had been conceived with a true originality, await attentively that part of the story in which the opening line finds its immaculate consummation, and above all patiently, for it seems to me certain as a matter of fact, that in fact—not everyone has had the good fortune to see through another’s eyes

Stand and Deliver

By Marx Stead Published November 17, 2016

The Game Master is a story teller. As such, he needs to be one of the key focal points of the game session. Think of him as the Ring Master at a circus. Even if he is not one of the performers, his job is to direct the attention and focus of the audience. When was the last time you saw a Ring Master that sat quietly in the corner or behind a partition? Never. He is always standing boldly in the center of the action, unless of course he is stepping aside so that the audience can give their attention to a performer, which is where he directs there attention.

180 Degrees of Separation

By Marx Stead Published November 17, 2016

In a tradition that dates back to the early days of role-playing, many Game Masters have become accustom to separating themselves from their players with that ubiquitous cardboard barrier known as the GM screen. Tradition is not always good.

Rule #1: NO BOXED TEXT !

By Marx Stead Published November 17, 2016

This is a mistake I see even experienced Game Masters make all too often, and it is one of my biggest pet peeves. You know those little boxes you find in published scenarios that are filled with description text or narration for the Game Master to read to the players? DON’T READ IT!

Hacked!

By trollboy Published November 14, 2016

Some of you visiting the site, may have noticed a big red screen on your browsers announcing this site as a no-good-nic.  Well it would be correct.  Shoggoth.net runs wordpress and had several wordpress plugins installed, as you would do with a wordpress site.  Wordpress, unfortunately, is not that secure.. and with various plugins that even makes it more so.  As such attackers were able to get in and add their own bits of code to the site to do naughty things.  Upon discovering the hack, we immediately sprung into action. All the offending code has been deleted, a fresh untouched out of the box install of wordpress has been put up, with *no* plugins installed. I also went the extra step of turning the entire site read-only.  You are still able to submit stories, etc.. but no files can be written to the hard drive, this makes it so even if the hackers come back and try to use the same trick they used before to hack us.. they physically are unable to write the to the disk.   I have submitted the site to Google to be scanned and have the warning removed, but that is what is going on right now.
