Don’t forget that GM’s are people too. Celebrate their brilliance in style today. As well as the previously reported GM’s Day sale at RPGNOW we are also glad to publicise the fact that Chaosium too are doing their bit for our heroic Keepers with a special GM’s day offer.
For a couple of days you can pick up a free PDF download of the Keepers Companion (version 1). Its a great source book if you don’t already have it in your collection.
If you are contemplating a purchase from Chaosium we would seriously recommend the ARKHAM NOW sourcebook. (CHA23116) MSRP $27.95 also available as a PDF download (MSRP $19.95). Together with the Keepers Companion we think its a bargain at $19.95.
Even if you are not in spending mood – still feeling a little credit crunched – you can still download a free ARKHAM NOW scenario from the Chaosium website “Lost In A Book”.
Tell them we sent you!
Ia! F’tagn GM’s Day!
Derek.

It has been a while since I posted a scenario, or even good reference material for Call of Cthulhu. So in an attempt to rectify this horrible omission I present for your gaming pleasure “Working with Monsters again”. This is designed as a follow up to my previous scenario “Working with Monsters”. The scenario calls for a small number of investigators, between three and five and is set in Great Britain during the roaring twenties but could easily be played out in the 30’s or with some simple modification as a scenario for NOW!
WORKING WITH MONSTERS AGAIN
To make life easy here is a link to the original “Working with Monsters” which provides some key information including statistics for the Vampire Alexander Charbonneau.
Have fun, Derek.

I’m off to see a group of my oldest roleplaying friends next weekend and to my absolute joy one of them has volounteered to run a game of “Skyrealms of Jorune”. If you’ve never played it then you have missed out. It is one of those classic games that appeared in the mid 1980’s – I think the second edition (the box set) was published in 1985. It combined a fantastic storyline and premise with a simple enough gaming system, the artwork was wonderful and it was a rare enough game that those of us that played it could feel proudly geeky and slightly superior, as we did back in the day!
Anyway I realised that I had no printable character sheets; so without permission I have butchered some scans to provide a downloadable PDF which can be printed out to give an approximation of the original 4 page – yes four page – character sheet and also as I was in the swing of things a two page Combat Summary Sheet, which makes playing the game nice and easy.
I hope there are people out there who might find them useful.
The sheets below are standard PDF files, just click the icons to download.

Happy Christmas to everyone from me and all the minions at miskatonic.co.uk.
Its been a mad rush to the end of 2009 – and whilst updates to miskatonic.co.uk have been slow I have launched my IT blog
www.technophile.miskatonic.co.uk.
I have grand plans afoot for new content in 2010 – look out for two new Call of Cthulhu scenarios which are currently being finalised; “Working With Monsters Again” and “Landfall” (an extended Future’thulhu scenario) as well as a host of new products in the merchandise shop, so keep dropping by.
Many thanks to everyone who has emailed or left comments on the site for me and to all of you who have linked to miskatonic.co.uk. Have a very merry Christmas and I’ll see you all in the new year.
Ia! F’tagn, Derek.
