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. mjrrpg.com/the-sentinel... #ttrpg

Review of the #DeltaGreen community scenario Telling the Bees, written by Charles Perryman for the 2021 shotgun scenario contest. A weird but easy to run little scenario with enough tools to adjust complexity and lethality without much extra work. Read/Listen: mjrrpg.com/telling-the-... #ttrpg

26 of the scenarios running during this weekend's Miskatonic Repository Convention are included in the "Miskatonic Repository Convention 2025 Bundle" over on @drivethrurpg.com , including 9 of my little Flash Cthulhu scenarios. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #callofcthulhu #ttrpg

www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... 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" Comment if you want in. I dig Flash Cthulhu muchly.

Player sign-ups for the free online Miskatonic Repository Con are officially open! Games went fast last year, so hop in and sign up for the fun! The Con will run October 17-19. tabletop.events/conventions/... #ttrpg #CallofCthulhu #horror #convention #ttrpgcommunity @chaosium.bsky.social

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. Read/listen: mjrrpg.com/obikiri-brid... #ttrpg

Review of the Japanese #callofcthulhu scenario, Child Replay, written by game-developer Sanada Makoto and Studio Arkham’s Satsukino Uso. An unsettling but touching svenario, and made into something special thanks to an extremely well used ‘gimmick.’ Read/listen mjrrpg.com/child-replay... #ttrpg

Check out NekoMimi's funky, space-faring, one-hour scenario, The Son of Nyx

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. Rea/Listen: mjrrpg.com/cloud-jaws-h...

Flash Cthulhu Year 1 bundle is further discounted during @drivethrurpg.com's Christmas in July sale. 12 scenarios, (at least) 12 hours, under US$6. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... (My Dark Ages Viking scenario 'Branches of Bone' and 1920s Japan 'A Chill in Abashiri' are also 30% off) #ttrpg

Wrote a review of the #Callofcthulhu scenario Forget Me Not, written by Brian M. Sammons. Read/listen: mjrrpg.com/forget-me-no... A scenario with an incredibly strong opening half and an unfortunately underdeveloped tailing half, but overall held up by its nasty and memorable premise. #ttrpg

The Kickstarter for Cosmic Dark, my game of weird space horror, has just over 24 hours to go, with stretch goals ahead from @mytholder.bsky.social, @sdorward.bsky.social, @gejwatts.bsky.social and more. Back it while you can! Help us reach those goals. (And please repost) #ttrpg #kickstarter

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. Read/listen here: mjrrpg.com/be-good-neig... #CallofCthulhu #ttrpg

It's been a year since KADOKAWA introduced us to the new play space for Call of Cthulhu, The Nanafuse Town. This modern Japan setting has been a popular base of many quick-fun scenarios from the Japan official, Studio Arkham creator team & CoC loving fans. cthulhumasters.booth.pm/item_lists/r...

Just ran Fruit from the Dust by @mjrrpg.bsky.social from the Flash Cthulhu bundle. Only slightly over the 1 hour intended time. And despite the expressions of disbelief from the players, it really was the first time I've ever run a game of Call of Cthulhu. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

With my first #callofcthulhu scenario, Branches of Bones passing the platinum threshold on @drivethrurpg.com recently, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a write up of what I've learned creating and selling a title on the Miskatonic Repository. Read/Listen: mjrrpg.com/selling-on-t...

Review of the Japanese #callofcthulhu scenario No Breaking Off, by Uchiyama Yasujirou, from Cthulhu 2020. A linear scenario that trades player agency for a somewhat unique structure, spooky atmosphere, a neat set piece, and weird relationship stuff. Read/Listen: mjrrpg.com/no-breaking-... #ttrpg

Wrote a review of the #callofcthulhuulhu supplement, the Bouts of Madness Deck by Aaron Sinner and Todd Walden. By far my most used supplement for CoC (despite fierce competition), enhancing the core of the game – insanity and madness. Read/Listen here: mjrrpg.com/bouts-of-mad... #ttrpg

Review of the Japanese #CallofCthulhu scenario Cartoon Reanimation, by Nanamine Kizashi, from Bibliothek 13. A lovely and bizarre mix of cartoony slapstick, noir, and a classic investigation structure that’s equal parts silly and grotesque. mjrrpg.com/cartoon-rean... #TTRPG #TRPG

Released a new tiny 1hr #CallofCthulhu scenario, Fruit from the Dust. Set in the middle of the Oklahoma Panhandle during the Dust Bowl, the investigators look into an oddly fruitful orchard. DTRPG link: drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... #TTRPG #TRPG

Review of the #callofcthulhu scenario The Hoodlums, by @gothnog.bsky.social & Ian Christiansen, from the Grindhouse Ultimate Collection. A short & spooky dungeon crawl-esque scenario with a fun cast, both the pregenerated investigators and the NPCs. Read/listen: mjrrpg.com/the-hoodlums... #ttrpg
