UnScheduled Outage

By trollboy Published January 23, 2003

As many of you have noticed, shoggoth.net (as well as shoggoth.org) where down 01/23/2003. This was due to a problem with our domain registrar and has been since resolved. The site should be back up and online between 6pm and 12am 01/23/2003. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Jedi of a Lesser God: The Other Star Wars/Cthulhu Crossover

By Jeremy Zimmerman Published January 20, 2003

So, as promised, this is the flip side of my Star Wars crossover. This is bringing in a bit of the Star Wars universe into Call of Cthulhu. In order to curb a tendency of mine to use the d20 Cthulhu rules as much as possible, I’ll try to propose options for both d20 and BRP systems. Continue reading »

Happy New Year from Chaosium!

By Chaosium Published January 3, 2003

May the New Year bring us all plenty of joy, rewards, and Crunchy Chaosium Goodness.

2002 was a pretty good year for Chaosium. While we didn’t publish all the books we had hoped, we did manage to release eight new
items.

The Golden Locket, the Auburn Hair, and the Bones

By Andrew Published December 26, 2002

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.

By trollboy Published December 13, 2002

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.

Curse the Darkness: A Cthulhu/Star Wars Crossover

By Jeremy Zimmerman Published December 9, 2002

As promised long, long ago, here’s the first in my series of crossover settings. Since I mocked the concept of a Star Wars crossover, I figured that would be a good place to start with this series. I’ll start with bringing Cthulhu into Star Wars, and then in a later article I’ll show a way to bring a little Star Wars into Call of Cthulhu.

The Bruce Report: Resurrected V

By Bruce Priddy Published December 4, 2002

A short Bruce Report this week folks. I don’t know if the holiday made the news trickle out slow or what. Not much quality news. On top of that, my wife was in and out of the hospital all weekend, so I was not exactly inspired to do much digging for the news. Hopefully, next week, everything will be back on track.

This week we have: Spielberg’s conspiracy; Britain’s UFO Files; Nature’s Artwork; More on the Gorman Ranch; European skull could re-write American history; and Aryan UFOs under Antartica.
