Consultations are free-form topic discussions based on our own GM experiences, preferences, and gaming philosophies. We hope some of this gibbering madness can be helpful to other GMs dealing with, or considering using, these issues at their table (or at least add new and exciting chattering voices inside listener's heads).

S1:E44 – TTRPG Scenario Editing and Formatting - Consultation with XPLovecat
Episode Notes
In this episode, we consult with Leslie "XPLovecat" Horn as a resident expert on scenario editing and review to help us understand some ways to help turn that splatter of words on a page into a properly monstrous scenario. We also discuss ways that scenario authors may find or summon their own editors, as well as the proper pronunciation of "Vaesen", which Nathan totally gets right.

S1:E42 – Call of Cthulhu Scenario Inspiration Across the Decades (Chaosium Con 2025 Live Panel)
Episode Notes
Listen to a live recording of our nearly sold-out panel at Chaosium Con 2025 where we discuss sources of inspiration for new Call of Cthulhu scenarios in underused decades between the traditional 20s-30s settings and modern day! We cover different ideas and themes for mythos horror scenarios in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
You can also tell this is a live recording by the sounds of a door repeatedly slamming as folks moved in and out of the talk, and definitely not from a tentacled creature breaking the barriers of our reality to return our call.

A discussion-based podcast for GMs where we break down horror ttrpg scenarios for systems like Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green, discuss what worked for us, what didn't, what changes we made while running them, and how it all turned out for the table. Additional special topics include general game philosophies, advice, and occasional actual plays.
