It has a real impact for sure. I saw Sophie’s Choice in my 20s and thought it was a good movie. I saw it in my 30s and just about died.
Is there a way friends could help you get it done? I work on transcription, if that would help, of if you need tables/arts or what not.
Nah, it’s just me and my relationship to horror now.
It’s also a testament to the effectiveness of the ideas and procedures in the book, I should add.
I usually run from my gut and a vague sense of the underlying fucked up thing that’s driving the horror. But Graham’s process makes me really linger and dig. I’m making myself squirm with discomfort!
Given the Cthulhu Dark rules fit on a page and are free on the internet, paying for the book instinctively seems crazy. However, I agree Graham W’s chapters on seeding a story with lurking dread and such are worth it.
Dave Higgins you’re not paying for the rules. The essays are gold though.

WTAF.
Paul Beakley endorsed a Mythos-esque book AND is running a Cthulhu game at a ‘con?

I’m not.
