From Evan– Friends, fellow horror roleplaying gamers, it is an honor and a pleasure to join this podcast. I’d like to humbly introduce myself to you by talking with Bridgett about some of the horror gaming topics that I’m really interested in, or things that I find myself thinking about a lot.

I have a lot of interests and I think all of these could probably be longer topics, maybe shows of their own, but let’s do some quick hits and just skim the surface of them now. Call it an Evan Perlman Sampler Platter.

Getting Inspiration from Media

Aiming for specific emotional beats at the table

Trying new things in scenarios

The Pet Pic channel is a community onto itself. On this channel, we post our beloved pets, fosters, pets of family members, and even wildlife shouting “go pods.” These animals, these pets, are members of our collective community. So when we lose a member of this community, one of our precious pets, we often grieve as a community. I’ve seen the recent pet loss guys. I just want you, and everyone who has ever lost, and will someday lose a pet to know, we’re here for you. We’re here for each other.

We did this last time, so we hope you listened to 325, but if you need a refresher, here are some definitions of trope:

• a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression.
• A trope is a word used in a nonliteral sense to create a powerful image.
• Shorthand narrative device

It was way easier to think about stuff I love than the stuff I hate. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t ever want to see stupid kids in movies again. But I have a whole list of stuff I love.

Our 2025 ENnies submission is pulled from one episode: MUP EP 313 – GM Like a Pro: Why is Table Safety Important

In Episode 313, we spoke with a certified therapist, Perry Clark, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, on the importance of table safety.

This episode, Keepers Dave & Bridgett explore an often discussed but barely understood topic for Lovecraft Horror: Mythos Magic for your PCs. We’re using Call of Cthulhu as the ruleset but the principles can be used for any of the myriad Lovecraft investigation games.

This episode, I’m shouting out the kittuh Fiona, submitted by Skip! 

This curious cat is on two feet with curiosity and attitude on full blast. She’s giving disrespected meercat vibes and I love it.

Welcome to our new curriculum “GM Like a Pro.” Over this series of episodes we will bring you a solid set of tools you can use to up your game mastering and expand both your skills as well as strengthen your table and all of your players. 

Tonight is session one “How to Pace Games Like a Pro.” Our first class is pretty fundamental, and I think is one of the most important skills we can develop as GMs.

And as mentioned previously, we asked our backers for inputs on these topics and many people wanted to know more about how to best pace their games. This was proved by all the specific questions we got from those same backers when we asked them – what do you want to know about pacing?

So most of these questions come from our backers, with some Bridgett and Dave specifics thrown in along the way. Shall we begin?
