Episode 59 Sponsor: Daniel Harila Carlsen! Thank you, Daniel, for sponsoring this episode. Daniel is an aspiring illustrator, RPG writer, and graphic designer based in Oslo, Norway. He's versatile in a variety of physical mediums and design technologies. He invites you to check out his portfolio and consider him for your next TTRPG project. Portfolio: https://danielharilacarlsen.myportfolio.com/ Daniel illustrated the Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura, currently on Backerkit. We'll include some music composed by Michael Sollien for that fantasy RPG campaign at the end of the show. Backerkit: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mudknight-media/the-tiger-princess-of-treacherous-tripura * * * Keris McDonald is the lead editor for the Cthulhu by Gaslight line for Chaosium. Her first project is Dust and Blood, a scenario book for Cthulhu by Gaslight. And she's shaping Gaslight's first major campaign, The Curse of Seven, into its final stage to prepare it for publication. Included in Dust and Blood are two scenarios, Ashes to Ashes, and Signs Writ in Scarlet. Ashes to Ashes: The investigators are assumed to be working-class employees at Lange's Dust Yard, a disposal center for the city's trash. All in the yard is not as it seems, and death looms cloaked in a cloud of dust. Signs Writ in Scarlet: Set in London's East End, the investigators are drawn to solve the mystery of a series of murders. The brutally murdered victims each bear a strange glyph etched into flesh. Dust and Blood: https://www.chaosium.com/cthulhu-by-gaslight-dust-and-blood-hardcover/?searchid=0&search_query=dust+and+blood * * * Both Mike and Keris also edit and guide Call of Cthulhu products so they are ready for publication, including the new Pulp Cthulhu scenario book, Clockworks and Claws. The scenarios included are Of Clockwork & Clay, and Wolf Among the Flock. Of Clockwork & Clay: Following a break-in at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the heroes search for a stolen artifact, but the thief is no simple villain! A secret formula, a devilish device, and all manner of villains provide a mystery brimming with intrigue and mayhem. Nothing is what it seems in this race against time to stop a scientist's maniacal scheme. Wolf Among the Flock: The heroes are invited to the funeral of a revered naturalist couple, killed in a tragic accident with one of their own animals in the zoo they managed. But is the beast really to blame? Or, is there something else lurking in the zoo, waiting for its chance to run wild and kill again? [At the time of this episode's publication, the Chaosium site has not been updated to offer Clockworks and Claws.] * * * As always, a huge thank you to John Sumrow, for our badass logo.

Sponsorship: Thank you to artist and friend of the show, Daniel Harila, for sponsoring this episode. Daniel has illustrated every issue to The Blasphemous Tome, (by The Good Friends of Jackson Elias Podcast), for the last three years. Daniel is the artist on The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura, an OSE city-crawl box set currently on Backerkit. The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura is a city-crawl through a profane realm of the subtle divines of Vedic myth created in homage to the City-State of the Invincible Overlord and serving as a meta-commentary on syncreatism, hedonism, and orientalist tropes on India across the history of gaming. * * * Seth attended Chaosium Con USA 2026, and he has returned to tell the tales of gaming, panels, and the love of "Bar-Con." Seth also joined Scott and Keith on the Titterpigs Podcast, so find that episode on your podcatcher of choice. Seth is also excited to run Mongoose's latest Paranoia RPG at a retreat for Dungeon-Tubers. Jon attended Midwest GameFest 2026, and he has tales of witches and panels. And he's excited to run a new (to him) horror RPG called Obscure, by Sunzenaut. * * * As always, a huge thank you to John Sumrow, for our badass logo.
