There's just over six hours left if you want to submit any games for A Weekend With Good Friends blasphemoustomes.com/a-weekend-wi...

@evandorkin.bsky.social joins the Good Friends again, this time to examine how comedy and horror work together, how we can combine them ourselves, and just why so many comedians seem to end up making horror. blasphemoustomes.com/2025/05/06/c...

I had the honor of being the guest co-host for two episodes of The Good Friends of Jackson Elias podcast, the first of which is now available to listen to. Even if you're not a table top RPG gamer, I think you'll enjoy the conversation I had with hosts @sdorward.bsky.social and Matt Sanderson.

The ideal opportunity to shamelessly post the "lost" Milk & Cheese entry for the Monster Manual once again.

Josephine McAdam @jcvim.bsky.social is a guest host on this recent episode of @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social - a Call of Cthulhu Podcast. And, as they note, you'll also be able to see Josephine touring the UK later this year with Chaosium, playing live games of Call of Cthulhu! - details below.

My second consecutive guest spot on @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social with @sdorward.bsky.social and Matt is here! We’re arguing about Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and the 1983 movie version. blasphemoustomes.com/2025/04/08/s...

Fans of STEP RIGHT UP: you might be interested in the most recent episode of the @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social podcast. It's all about RPGs, horror and theme parks (with a detour at the end to the sort of carnival media that STEP RIGHT UP draws from.)

This episode of the @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social is stirring up a lot of subconscious emotions and memories for me. I was listening during my workout this morning when the unbidden refrain came to my lips: "Clowns are painted strangers."

@cuppycup.bsky.social joins the Good Friends to look under the glossy veneer of theme parks in search of the horror beneath. Plenty of nightmarish inspiration for your games here! blasphemoustomes.com/2025/03/25/t...

I recently joined @jasoncordova.bsky.social on Fear of a Black Dragon to discuss Leigh Carr's wonderful introductory Call of Cthulhu scenario, "The Necropolis". We also spent a bit of time talking about how we write horror scenarios. A fun time indeed! www.gauntlet-rpg.com/fear-of-a-bl...

@jcvim.bsky.social joins the Good Friends once again, this time to explore the appeal of vampires in tabletop RPGs. Are they predatory monsters or tragic antiheroes? And why the hell do we find them so sexy? blasphemoustomes.com/2025/03/11/t...

Lovely episode, some very interesting details and ideas on 'compartmentalising' horror in games and media.

@jcvim.bsky.social joins the Good Friends to discuss ways to engage with horror when you find it frightening blasphemoustomes.com/2025/02/25/h...

Matt and I have started releasing monthly bonus episodes for Patreon backers of the Good Friends. Titled "Just One More Thing", these allow us to revisit recent episodes and offer some second thoughts, including things we just plain missed first time. www.patreon.com/Goodfriendso...

Our latest episode serves double duty as an introduction to all things Quatermass and a detailed look at Quatermass and the Pit. This is one of @sskorkowsky.bsky.social's favourite films, so Matt and Scott were only too happy to discuss it with him. blasphemoustomes.com/2025/02/11/q...

@sskorkowsky.bsky.social joins the Good Friends to try to work out how we can get better at this whole investigation thing. We also discuss how forever GMs make the worst players, not naming any names. blasphemoustomes.com/2025/01/28/h...

@mensan98th.bsky.social joins the Good Friends to discuss how detective fiction relates to Lovecraftian horror, and what this means for Call of Cthulhu blasphemoustomes.com/2024/12/30/c...
