We are all set up in the Vendor Hall at Chaosium Con USA! Bayt al Azif Geekach Games @nightfall.games @sentinelhillpress.bsky.social @sixtystonepress.co.uk @singularitysons.bsky.social @stygianfoxpub.bsky.social (The Vendor Hall moved to the Elizabeth Ann room at the far left of the con, see map!)

I am presenting my research into an unidentified gravestone maker I’ve dubbed "the Old Dunstable carver" on 4/18/26 at the spring meeting of the Association for Gravestone Studies @ the Woods Memorial Library, 19 Pleasant St., in Barre, MA, starting at 10 am. I strongly believe he was Henry Geyer.

Gravestone of Elizabeth Ireland, d. 1738; Granary Burying Ground, Boston. I believe the carver is William Codner, of Boston.

As an exercise to shake off some writer’s block, here’s a history of my small dice collection, 1/ : The first group came from my 1983 D&D red box. Colored them myself with the crayon provided. Only 3 have survived the intervening 4 decades. Did dice get bigger? I still wish Bargle ill.

Chaosium Con USA 2026 is in one week in Ann Arbor, Michigan! We will be there in the Vendor Hall with our friends: Geekach @nightfall.games @sentinelhillpress.bsky.social @sixtystonepress.co.uk @singularitysons.bsky.social @stygianfoxpub.bsky.social Are you going? See you soon!

New quest! I'm looking for a copy of Cthuloide Welten #6. Really, I'm looking for a clean enough scan or photo of the "Interview mit Keith Herber" on pages 79-81 that I can feed it into OCR, Google translate it, and have it make sense. Would love crisp photos of those pages if you have them!

It has been argued there is little value in studying the humanities versus professionally focused skills and STEM. I dissent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croesus...

Some recent additions to the SHP library. First up, “Christmas Memories”, a slim volume from Robert Ellis Cahill’s New England folklore series. 25 down 2 to go. Book 2 is Maine’s Coastal Cemeteries, by Karen W. Batignani (2003), a visitor’s guide to the oldest burying grounds of littoral Maine.

Today marks the end of an era, with the closure of Yog-Sothoth.com after 28(?) years. I first found it soon after it started, in 1998, while I was in grad school. When they started up forums, I was member 98. I was a moderator there for close to 2 decades. 1/

This feels like the start of a story by @midnightpals.bsky.social TarttBot 3000: hOWard, I aM frIeNd! Lovecraft: (Nervously) Hello? Poe: Careful! This Mechanical Turk is masquerading as the authoress of a book featuring a small college in New England and consanguine desire! Barker: I’m in!

When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher showed our class “Harold and Maude”. Most of my classmates hated it. I didn’t. I took it with me and it made me feel less alone. I am a better person for having seen it. RIP Bud Cort youtu.be/yYMQpDCVYBo?...

Hello from lunch

Our series finale is here! Special thanks to @mrspike.bsky.social @fieryashes.bsky.social @aliravey.bsky.social and @jedigirl.bsky.social for all the amazing fun! Our special guest voice @nyarlathotefa.bsky.social and @sentinelhillpress.bsky.social for requesting this playthrough! #callofcthulhu

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

It seems fitting this will run 13 episodes.

I think she’s begging them to untie her kids. I don’t believe in Hell, but sometimes I wish it was real. bsky.app/profile/atru...

H. P. Lovecraft loved tamales.

We're back in Arkham with our Investigators as they have a serious choice to make!

Just learned that Tim Kask had passed. A couple years back I wrote him trying to track down the author of a scenario from his Adventure Gaming magazine. When i asked how I might thank him, he suggested “buy me a sandwich or something”. Not sure who the sandwich rights go to now… :(

Friends! For June 2026, Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein wants to host reviews of older pulp/SFF works involving gender change, identity, and transition from LGBTQ+ guests. These are paid reviews. I've got three folks lined up, but I would like one or two more, if anyone is interested.

I joined Yog-Sothoth in, I think, the fall of 1998. For many years I was also a moderator there. I am proud of the community we formed there, of our stewardship of Call of Cthulhu at its lowest ebb as a game, and grateful for the many friendships formed. I am also terribly, terribly sad.

Catherine gives an important description to the police, before going to check on her parents. Detective Locke and the Thurgoods return to the Purcell house for more information. #callofcthulhu #ttrpg #actualplay directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

Years ago, by my estimation 1989, one snowy Christmas Eve, my friends Eric, Mike, Joe, and myself stumbled into adventure. We had discovered an unopened carton of egg nog in the refrigerator and, being thoughtless youth had consumed it. Unfortunately Joe’s father had planned to drink said nog… 1/

A bright spot in an otherwise dark day. Thanks to @brandonbird.bsky.social I can celebrate T-mas in style.

How else can Delta Green spy on the plateau of Leng? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hopefully it has lived up to my pitch :)

Our annual Yithmas cards have been loosed into the pitiless claws of the post office. Fly, fly, into the Plutonian night! (There’s still a little time to join our $3+ Patreon backers and get one of your own, of course… www.patreon.com/SentinelHill... )

Here’s that scenario inspiration you were looking for… “We are all baffled by the sudden appearance of a [grave]stone that none of us at Cranston [RI] Historical Cemetery Comission have ever seen before…” www.facebook.com/share/1BeSEi...

I measure my need for a haircut on the ‘Anton Chigurh’ scale, with 1 being a perfect copy. Anything over .75 means it is time for a trim. Probably above .6 currently, maybe close to .7.

We return to The Queen of the Night! With @fieryashes.bsky.social @jedigirl.bsky.social @mrspike.bsky.social and @aliravey.bsky.social !

I’m thankful for a good meal and good company. Also you, internet stranger. I’m glad you’re out there and not here as then there’d be less cranberry tart for me.

It’s supposed to be a winged face, but it kind of looks like the turkey craft project that my first grader brought home from school yesterday. It marks the grave of Hannah Kingsbury (d.1769) at North Cemetery in Hampton, Connecticut, and it was made by Joseph Marsh.

Were I to submit a scenario to a publisher and I named a billionaire’s pet AI project “Prometheus”, I am very certain Zid be told to change the name for being too cliched and obvious. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/t...

We're back with more of our Arkham Investigation series, The Queen of the Night!

I gotta do a bigger post but: it looks like I'm going to need some financial help covering costs of helping my dad ko-fi.com/O4O8CAE3

I pity the Yule

Wishing everyone a delightful Halloween! We're pleased to offer up a couple of fun-size treats: free poems by Edgar Allan Poe! store.hplhs.org/products/poe...

Shout-out to @tidalwavegames.com for letting me run @sentinelhillpress.bsky.social's fantastic #CallOfCthulhu oneshot "The Dare" for their home table last night! It's the second time I've run it, and it went wildly different than last time. I had an absolute blast!
