This is what the front page of YSDC first gen. looked like back in the '90s. Hand coded. (Can you tell? 😉)

In 2026 @whathelen.bsky.social and I plan to return to our other podcast, Poirot: Greatest Detective. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

British Lunar Exploration Suit, 1940s.

Arkham Attic, located much higher than it used to be…

For our live Yuletide shows I wear a festive jumper. This beauty narrowly missed the cut last year (for technical reasons).

One of the coolest posters I’ve seen in a long time @nhm-london.bsky.social …

These things happen.

...and the last podcast history piece for the day. The immense fun and education from interviewing a lot of interesting people about interesting things. Thank you, all. #podcast #podcasting

Tea shop location, optional.

Besides delivery in different formats we've done live shows both in studio and al fresco. #podcast #podcasting

Besides online, we've distributed our shows via various formats over the years. @britishlibrary.bsky.social holds some of the wax cylinders and MiniDiscs in its archives. #rpg #ttrpg #podcast #podcasting

This was not our first podcasting set-up (it was our second). The first was simply an iRiver MP3 recorder hung from the light fitting. You don't need much. #rpg #ttrpg #podcast #podcasting

TWENTY YEARS ago today we recorded the first Yog Radio. Things have certainly changed since then. Friday's posts may feature a little more of our podcast history over the past two decades (don't worry, not too much 😉). #rpg #ttrpg #cthulhu #podcast #podcasting

The shining beacon that is the Ministry of Truth. #1984

Love the 'Tales of the Weird' series from The British Library. May have a few of them...

An appreciation of the fanzine. #zine #fanzine #rpg #ttrpg #dnd #cthulhu #publishing

1930s '3D' (but modern film). #filmphotography #vintagephotography #3D

Having a print option is always handy, and the PDF version is FREE, whatever!

Fellow Attic Dwellers…

A favourite ink bottle. Yep, I have one. #stationery #fountainpen

Speaking of previous editions of things, this remains another old favourite. #rpg #ttrpg #cthulhu #gamesworkshop

The first edition of Arkham Horror remains my favourite, simply because it's smaller and quicker to play. #game #boardgame #cthulhu

A standard unit of measurement for bags and cases. #rpg #ttrpg

Sometimes when doing field recordings you bump into people and rope them in on the spot to co-host a show. With apologies to @aptshadow.bsky.social

@whathelen.bsky.social has a new name for us: “Pod Boy Three”. 🤔😉

I also took a photo of this 🤞, but it may be a few months before I get the film developed. #filmphotography

With @chrislackey.bsky.social joining Arkham Attic as a co-host there are important things to consider.

We had a good run! 10 years! 👍

For the past few birthdays my family has generously helped with my #vintagephotography interests. My favourite, my 1936 Leica IIIa with a gorgeous 35mm lens. #filmphotography #leica

You know you’ve done too much mythos stuff when your meal starts turning into…

Memories of great games. @martyjopson.bsky.social @judgefredd.bsky.social

Ink on tap. A serious stationery shop…

Between 2015 and 2020 we recorded The Cthulhu Breakfast Club, a podcast recorded (and sometimes live streamed in 360° video!) in nearby Tea Rooms. Today there’s a Breakfast Club in St. Pancras station in London. It's a bit different, no podcasting, but the food makes up for it. 😉

35 years later, still a handsome set. First 100 + Specials. #rpg #ttrpg #grognard #gamesworkshop

Cyanotypes: the original "blueprints". A satisfyingly straightforward analogue process invented in the 1840s. Here, plans taken from Cthulhu by Gaslight and turned (very simply) into genuine blueprints that can last hundreds of years. #cyanotype #printmaking #photography #AlternativeProcess

Trail of Cthulhu 2nd edition layout updates from @pelgranepress.bsky.social www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN? @chrislackey.bsky.social of @strangestudies.bsky.social has joined Arkham Attic as a co-host (when we can get him)! #podcast #rpg #ttrpg #cthulhu

I admit it. I am a stationery geek and I’m OK with that. #stationery #rpg #ttrpg

Minimalist live podcasting. It did actually work (when the Wi-Fi was behaving). 🙂 #podcast #rpg #ttrpg

Memories of Cthulhu Breakfast Club 1: Live streaming in 2017.

How to get ahead when preparing your next Call of Cthulhu scenario.

The visual effect you can get with a 1930s camera, using a fast 1950s lens taken on 2020s colour film in that 18th C. library. For period effects try period equipment. #photography #vintagephotography

Happy #worldwidehalfframephotoday ! Thanks to @stereoscopyblog.bsky.social for the heads up! Here's one from me, an 18th C. library taken with a 1930s camera, shot a couple of months ago.

A little Lovecraftian London. (OK, Green and Pleasant Land covers more than that. 🙂) #rpg #ttrpg

@grahamwalmsley.bsky.social 's The Rending Box, a very creative Dragonmeet release for Trail of Cthulhu.

The Book of the Smoke remains brilliant as ever. @pelgranepress.bsky.social @gbsteve.bsky.social @kennethhite.bsky.social

Hand printed Cyanotype of a mysterious statuette found in the Louisiana swamps in 1908.

Arkham Attic runs with a skeleton crew, sometimes literally.

When you turn your Bettys Fat Rascal into a Gug before the show.

In last month's edition of Arkham Attic we talked about the 20 year re-release of @paulfricker.bsky.social 's Gatsby & The Great Race and memories of playing this fantastic multi-group scenario. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...
