Dirigible Days – Steampunk Webseries with Cthulhu Cultists

| 4. Februar 2012

Look what devious, unnamable thing was delivered into my ætherbox:     Now is this one epic piece of a teaser-video or what? Not only is it Steampunk, no, there is a Cthulhu Cultist on board! Let us hope and pray to the Great Old Ones  Dirigible Days takes off. I have already signaled my [...]

Cthulhu iPhone/iPad Game

| 31. Januar 2012

Oh well, I should have known, since I am taking a vacation at one of the centers of cult activity around the globe… Anyway, yesterday evening a few local folks and me were sitting around a table in the lobby of the Gilman House and one of them brought the following to my attention:   [...]

A vacation in Innsmouth

| 27. Januar 2012

I have decided to take a little vacation by the sea and will soon check in at this lovely, picturesque little hotel: In other words: I am taking a break from this blog for some time to concentrate on other projects. But do not worry, I will be back! People who looked at this item [...]

The Fantasy World Map

| 22. Januar 2012

I discovered this really interesting map recently while scouting the ætherweb for curiosities worthy of blogging about. What I find most interesting is obviously the entry at the bottom of the map: Dreamlands Now, I wonder if this is just for the places we all go to at night when we dream, or wether it [...]

Mythos Hymn

| 21. Januar 2012

I am a fan of Neil Young. I own several albums and Keep on Rocking in the Free World and Hey hey, my my are two of my all-time favourites. I also noticed recently Hey hey, my my can be turned into a Cthulhu Mythos hymn quite easily: Hey hey, my my Great Old Ones [...]

Cthulhu calls the Steampunks

| 13. Januar 2012

A call has gone out from the deepest crypts of the sacred city of R’lyeh. Chaosium is going to publish an anthology of Steampunk-Cthulhu Mythos crossover fiction. This is too good, to epic and too non-euclidean opportunity to miss. I will do my best to follow the call and hopefully get a piece ready in [...]

Tintin in Pnakotus

| 15. Dezember 2011

The Yithians are not evil, they are just scientists. With a little bit of tweaking [...]

When Cthulhu met The Highlander

| 10. Dezember 2011

A commenter on my blog, Celestial Elf, shared this one with me recently. As a devoted Cthulhu cultist it is my holy duty to share it with you, let the insanity commence: Iä! everybody…   People who looked at this item also looked at… A message from Abney Park’s Captain Robert The Cog is Dead [...]

Happy Halloween everybody and Iä!

| 31. Oktober 2011

Halloween is upon us and for this reason I am blatantly going to steal my friend Hilde’s design she posted over at the Gatehouse blog, but before, here comes the cultist: Halloween is, according to the holy and wholesome writ of the Great Prophet Howard, one of the most important festivals of the Cult of [...]

Meat Cthulhu – Epic Meal Time

| 11. Oktober 2011

This is quite a different take on the Cthulhu Mythos, but it definitely adds another dimension to the horror: And that is all for today, since my jaw is less wise now than it was this morning. People who looked at this item also looked at… Fun with Evil Germans: How to do it right [...]
