The Drooler in The Dark

By Michael LaBossiere Published March 16, 2001

I stood at the door, my face pale. A cold seat dampened my brow. I turned to look at my companion to see how he was faring. Prepare yourself, Joe. We are about to face something so horrible and evil that I am surprised that the very earth does not reject its presence.
What is this horror? said Joe.
The Drooler in the Dark, the Dog That Should Not Be… I said, my voice trailing off to a whisper.
A Hound of Tindalos! Joe cried as a look of terror crossed his face.
No, far worse. I said as the door swung open, revealing It.
Oh, look at the cute doggy! said Joe, stepping forward to meet the Beast.
No, Joe! I cried, but it was already too late… Continue reading »

Ghoul Picnic

By Duane Pesice Published March 12, 2001

On a beautiful starfilled midnight, in a clearing surrounded by trees with stable root, the Night People gathered for a meal.

Illivant squatted and warmed himself by the fire, inhaling the rich aroma of the spitted meat. Not long before, Illivant had been resigned to roots and leaves instead of proper food, but a stray current had brought a brace of drowned fisherman to shore.

My Aunts House

By Michael LaBossiere Published February 16, 2001

“My Aunt’s House” is a cruel trick to play on the investigators,
and hence it should be run with due caution. This adventure is intended
to be run soon after the investigators have had a particularly rough experience.
Prior to running this adventure, the Keeper should hint that the investigators
have been suffering too much and that they could certainly use a break to
give them a chance to recover from their past ordeals. It is important that
the Keeper convince the players that this adventure will be a “milk
run” or a respite from past horrors. Naturally, this adventure will
plunge them into new terrors and convince them that the Mythos is even more horribly
pervasive than they ever suspected. Continue reading »

The Best Weird Tales of Arthur Machen vol. 1

By Chaosium Published February 10, 2001

Some of the finest horror stories ever written. Arthur Machen had a profound impact upon H.P. Lovecraft and the group of stories that would later become known as the Cthulhu Mythos. This first volume of Chaosium’s Arthur Machen collection begins with the chilling “The Three Impostors” in its complete form, including the rarely seen sections “The Decorative Imagination” and “The Novel of the Iron Maid.” Rounding out the first volume are “The Great God Pan,” “The Inmost Light,” and “The Shining Pyramid,” all are excellent tales. Introduction by S.T. Joshi.
