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 vs Cthulhu

| 12. September 2011
