Go on treat yourself…

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Over the years I have amassed what can only be described as a staggering number of Mythos related books and magazines, but there are always more out there! So I’m going to treat myself at Amazon, below are a few that I would recommend, so why not make me feel better about spending my pocket money and treat yourself. If you fancy submitting a review of something that you buy we would love to publish it here at miskatonic.co.uk, just send your review to derek at miskatonic.co.uk

No longer a part of Webring – who cares?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Today I received an email “The ring manager of “Cthulhu WebRing (Fans Of H.P. Lovecraft)” has suspended your site”.  By all accounts not having the stupid ring code on EVERY page seems to be against the rules and the fact that it was the ONLY thing on my front page didn’t seem to be enough.

Its not the only time the site has been suspended, and this time I just can’t be bothered – nobody struggles to find miskatonic.co.uk, we get a ton of traffic and not much of it through Webring.  So frankly I don’t feel that there is any great loss – I might even put something a bit more exciting on my splashscreen other than an advert for Webring!

Anyhow, if you find yourself saddened or disappointed that miskatonic.co.uk isn’t part of the fellowship of the Webring anymore I’m sorry, but I just can’t be arsed…

BROADSWORD 1PG Character Sheet

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

As mentioned many times in previous posts I have become a really big fan of the 1PG series of games published by Deep7 (www.deep7.com) and available online from Precis Intermedia Games (www.pigames.net). Attached below you will find another character sheet for use with; BROADSWORD

The games are based on a standard and very simple system with the rules fitting, (more or less), on one page. They are ideal for ad-hoc play and lend themselves to light-hearted “beer & pretzel” style gaming. However, I have managed to get at least one group of people seriously involved in a 1PG setting culminating in a very long running campaign!
