I received my copy of @nilhemothgames.bsky.social and @phdnd.bsky.social's #ttrpg "5 Acts: The King in Yellow," and I can't wait to really dive in! Just had a quick skim and I'm already loving the art and all the little GM bits of world building and story hooks.

Have YOU found The Yellow Sign?
A photograph of a TTRPG book titled "5 Acts: The King in Yellow" with the o in yellow being a stylized version of Pelgrane Press's Yellow Sign. The cover features a red lake under strange cloud waves, with spires of buildings peeking out from just behind the clouds. A red moon hangs in front of some of the spires, and the red sky turns black towards the top of the illustration. In the foreground just on the left edge of the illustration are tattered yellow strips of cloth. The author is listed as Jason Bowers, Illustrated by Sam Fontaine & Mel Williams.

I've got like, six other crowd funded games I'm waiting to get rewards from, and an ever growing list of other games I want to buy.

Some people collect dice, I collect Horror TTRPGs lol

Heck yeah! Got a message from the post office and went and picked up my Kickstarter backer rewards for Free League's Alien Evolved Edition. I've already got so many games to run, but I can fit one more in my schedule, right?

...right?

The Investigators fought and defeated a man in a temple in Egypt in 1930. Two Agents saw the same man in DC in 2000.

Stephen Alzis was very pleased to finally meet them :)

A while ago I started Music From a Darkened Room for #DeltaGreen using tips from @rpg-reanimators.bsky.social. One of their resources has stuff to put in the Green Box, like a cursed lawn gnome. Agent GNOMEY has since become the Cell's mascot.

My players just got me Agent GNOMEY for my birthday 😭

There was laughter, there were tears, there were shouts of surprise. And there was a Fumbled Cthulhu Mythos roll that turned Carcosa into a literal Hell!

Good times all around.
A screenshot from a Foundry Virtual Table Top server instance, running the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition ruleset. One of the Heroes, Jackson Owens, Fumbled a Cthulhu Mythos skill roll, which is presented as two red skulls on a black background. His skill value is shown as 33%, and the roll shows that he rolled a 96. Per 7th Edition rules, a skill level under 50% has a Fumble Range between 96 and 100.

No cheating, post your lock screen.

I meant this as just a place-holder until I could make something myself, but that was over a month ago woops

No cheating, post the most recent pic of your pets.

Finally getting around to unpacking and putting my office together (a whole year after moving, cough cough) and I dug out probably the coolest pieces of my #CallOfCthulhu collection.

Check it out, five of the portraits from the 7th Edition Investigator's Handbook, by @roberthack.bsky.social!
Five small portraits on card stock showing "Investigators" from the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, artwork done by Robert Hack. The first is of a man wearing a vest with a bowtie over a white shirt and a hat, while holding a cane. The second is a man with curly hair and a bowtie in an old-timey suit, looking like one of the classic Dr Who regenerations. The third is of a smiling woman with dark hair holding a camera and wearing a wristwatch. The fourth is of a smug looking man wearing a suit and glasses with a long and skinny neck tie. The fifth is of a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a jacket open over a vest and tie, with a messenger bag over his shoulder. Each image is of a hand-painted piece printed on a bit of cardstock, originally made for use in the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Investigator's Handbook for Chaosium.

Practically SPRINTED to the post office today when I saw I had a package! Got my backer copy for "Island of Ignorance: The Third Cthulhu Companion 2nd Edition" by Golden Goblin Press! Book, pin, stickers, prints! I'm so excited to crack it open and run some of these #CallOfCthulhu scenarios!
A paper back TTRPG supplement book for Call of Cthulhu 7E titled "Island of Ignorance: The Third Cthulhu Companion Second Edition," by Golden Goblin Press. The cover features a blonde woman with glasses and a red bucket hat pouring over arcane texts in a library, as a tentacled horror reaches down behind her. Various authors are listed, including: Geoff Gillan, Daniel Harms, Scott David Aniolowsky, Tyler Hudak, Eckard Huelshoff, Tom Lynch, Brian M Sammons, Mark Shireman, Oscar Rios, Jeff Moeller, and Jon Hook. Also featured are both a pin and circular sticker of the Golden Goblin Press logo, and a postcard print of the cover art without text. Two prints featuring a blonde woman with a red bucket hat and glasses. The print on the right is the cover art of the 3rd Cthulhu Companion without text. The print on the left is a new image of the same woman descending a flight of stairs wielding a baseball bat as tentacles slither up towards her, while a large eyeball opens in the wall behind her. This image will be the cover of Dark Seas of Infinity, the Fourth Cthulhu Companion.

Cat tax! I took these photos yesterday. Featuring Quincy, Billie Bean, and Mimi.

Missing: Al, because he was having a Gross Persian Day and I just could NOT get a good photo of him

This is how I know I did something right in last night's #DeltaGreen game hehehe
A message sent through Facebook Messenger. One of my players sent me a GIF of Harrison Ford with the caption "You son of a b*tch!", as well as the follow up message "I can't stop thinking about the game." I replied with the messages "Hehehehe" and then "Excellent."

"But ket," you ask, "don't you already have a copy of the KiY?"

I do! I have the one by Pushkin Press, which has an absolute gorgeous dust jacket. But it only has the first four stories, it's missing Cassilda's Song and the six other non-spooky stories. Plus, this new one is ANNOTATED!
Two copies of the book The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers. The first, published by Pushkin Press, is hardcover with a black and gold-embossed dust jacket, with a striking minimalist illustration of a robed figure with a wing. The second is a paperback copy by Arc Dream Publishing, featuring a full color illustration of a cloaked figure on a boat upon a stormy lake, with a black bird perched at the stern looking towards the figure

I decided to treat myself, and picked up a few things from @arcdreampublishing.bsky.social! I've been eyeing the deck ever since I heard about it, it's super cool to have one of my own now

To the right is the rest of the cards, face down, showing the Arc Dream version of the Yellow Sign on the card back.

I've got the book! And I love the KIY / Hastur Mythos, ESPECIALLY the DG take by John Scott Tynes and Dennis Detwiller. I just...need to quit my day job to find the time. Cause I can't abandon my Pulp Cthulhu campaign, my players would never forgive me!

There are also two cats in the photo, one a solid black with green eyes, sitting on a copy of Robert W Chambers's The King In Yellow, and another cat, a brown and white tuxedo, sitting on a computer chair in the background

I'm laying here on the living room floor, listening to @areyoshi.bsky.social shiny hunt Spearows in LGPE, and watching poor #MimisaurusRex struggle to stay awake after getting spayed earlier today. It's okay Mimir, you're allowed to take a cat nap!

Omg. I just read Where Black Stars Rise by @nadiashammas.bsky.social and @soengery.bsky.social, and I'm absolutely FLOORED, I loved it so much. I'm a big fan of The King In Yellow / Yellow Mythos, and holy moly this was amazing. Needed to take a pic of it joining the collection!
The book Where Black Stars Rise by Nadia Shammas and Marie Enger on a gray backdrop, framed by other thematic books and knickknacks, including: the Necronomicon HPL "best of" story collection, The King In Yellow by Robert W Chambers, The Hastur Cycle anthology by Chaosium, and Ashes of Onyx by Seth Skorkowsky; along with the TTRPG books Tatters of the King for Call of Cthulhu, Impossible Landscapes for Delta Green, and The Yellow King RPG. Items include a "Cat-thulhu" plush from NYCC 2019, a metal plate with Cassilda's Song, and a mock tarot card, 3D printed coin, and coffee mug all sporting The Yellow Sign.

Of course, you can't have a great Call of Cthulhu one-shot without a bunch of props and handouts! Shout out to @demondionysus.bsky.social for the tarot card art, and @slyllama.bsky.social for the 3d model for the coins
A photo of several props for a Call of Cthulhu scenario, including 8 custom tarot card-style designs (including a Yellow Sign and the Elder Sign), carnival tickets, 3D printed "gold" coins marked 25c on one side and with the Yellow Sign on the other, a coupon for a free drink, and a coupon for a free tarot reading

Special shout-out to @demondionysus.bsky.social for redrawing the monster from the scenario! His work is fantastic and he's very quickly become my go-to for monster designs
