Hi bluesky folks, I'm Mike.
I'm in BC, Canada.
I write Call of Cthulhu scenarios and sometimes #ttrpg reviews and stuff.

Review of the system-agnostic Lovecraftian SF scenario, The Sentinels, from the Dark Space collection.

A nasty little scenario that doesn’t actually give players much to do, but can be worth experiencing due to its very short run time.

Review of the #DeltaGreen community scenario Telling the Bees, written by Charles Perryman for the 2021 shotgun scenario contest.

Way back when @mjrrpg.bsky.social ran this for us. It's a solid fun scenario and I'm running tonight at 9PM UK time.

One space left. It will run about an hour and a quarter.

There will be "COFEE TO DIE FOR"

So, I've been writing #ttrpg scenario reviews for a bit now, but I realised I've never actually thought about learning how to, well, write interesting reviews.

Any recommendations for articles/books/videos/podcasts/whatever that go deeper into making reviews actually entertaining/engaging?

Review of the Japanese #callofcthulhu scenario, Obikiri Bridge, written by Nanamine Kizashi and Gomi Hirufumi .

A neat little story but feels like a visual novel stuffed into a CoC scenario without allowing for much, well, roleplaying.

Review of the Japanese #CallofCthulhu scenario, Cloud Jaws – Hell’s Fleet (クラウド・ジョーズ~地獄の艦隊~), written by Nanamine Kizashi.

An absolute madhouse of a scenario. Slightly rigid in places, but easy enough to massage into more freeform, B-movie craziness.

Wrote/recorded a narrative replay of my my Call of Cthulhu scenario, Be Good Neighbours.

What I call a narrative replay is simply an session recap/AAR/whatever, but in prose, and ‘narrative’ tacked on because I’m pretentious.
