PELGRANE PRESS
Lovecraft created his “shadowy congeners” because the stories of vampires, werewolves, and ghosts had become too familiar. Now, his own monstrous races seem like comfortable story furniture too.
In Hideous Creatures: A Bestiary of the Cthulhu Mythos for the Trail of Cthulhu RPG, Pelgrane Press brings the horror back to Lovecraft’s monsters, blurring boundaries and erasing certainties in the name of the uncanny. These creatures are adventures by themselves, leaving physical traces, occult clues and madness in their eldritch wake.
Hideous Creatures: A Bestiary of the Cthulhu Mythos features 31 full creature write-ups, including nine mythos monsters that have never taken stat-block form in any game! Get 10% off the pre-order in the Pelgrane Press webstore with the voucher code MISKUPOD2019.

Campus Crier
The Campus Crier is Miskatonic U’s student paper. Here’s where we go through Mythos related news and feedback to the podcast. This episode was recorded on April 11, 2019.
* Michael O’Brien (MOB) was banned from the Yog-Sothoth-dot-com (YSDC) forum because of his posts on a memorial thread for WH Pugmire. Allegedly, MOB posted comments about how much Pugmire liked the CoC game community, mentions that Chaosium published some of his fiction, and expresses regrets that Chaosium didn’t work more with him. Paul of Cthulhu, (owner and moderator of YSDC), posted that it was in bad taste to promote Chaosium in the thread. Soon, Paul declared the subject closed, and after MOB posted again in his defense, Paul banned him from the forum.
