For the final installment of our Fall of Cthulhu series, we take a look at HP Lovecraft as builder of worlds—how does he compare to the works of JRR Tolkien? What differentiates Lovecraftian world-building, and how can you use it in your games?

For this month's interview, we welcome Chaosium's cartographer extraordinaire, Matt Ryan! Matt got his break working on Berlin: The Wicked City, and has gone on to contribute to many books across Chaosium's broad catalogue, but he keeps coming back to Cthulhu.   We talk about art and the creative process, saying yes first and figuring out the rest afterwards, tattoos, music, and how all of it ties into the Mythos.   Join us for this fun and freewheeling chat and get to know Matt!

We continue our deep dive on Call of Cthulhu, talking about character creation and how to prep, play, and run a campaign!

Thanks again to Bridgett Jeffries for being our reader this month!

We return to the fœtid waters sloshing at the feet of centuried R'lyeh to once again tackle the eldritch horror known as the Call of Cthulhu RPG. We devoted but one episode to this, one of our all-time favorite systems, back in Season One. This time around, we're doing a full deep-dive, spending the month of October discussing the great-grandpappy of all horror RPGs.

Come with us...if you dare!

Special thanks to this month's reader, Bridgett Jeffries!

For our last entry in "Arthurian August" (even though it's September now), we go live to answer questions from listeners! Big thanks to friend of the show, Des, for moderating.

For our "Arthurian August" spotlight on Pendragon, we figured we'd invite on one of the game's biggest boosters, legendary game designer John Wick! Join David and Kenny for a fun and lively discussion of why John loves Pendragon so much, and how it's influenced his own game design.

We continue our deep dive on Pendragon, looking at the history of the game, its mechanics and how they evolved, character creation, and tips for running!

Thanks once again to the magnificent Lynne Hardy for adding her voice talents to our readings. Really classes up the joint, don't you think?

We're back! And with a kinda-new format!

For this new season of Gatecrasher, we'll be focusing on our favorite RPG systems over the course of four episodes each. These are system deep-dives, with advice on running and playing, interviews with fans and creators of the games, and an audience Q&A to wrap it all up.

For this inaugural series, what better system to focus on than one that is near and dear to our hearts: Pendragon!

Big thanks to special guest Lynne Hardy for the fantastic readings!
