We’re back and we’re making stuff up. But so much of the stuff we make up is inspired by stuff other people made up. And sometimes, it turns out, they’re inspired by some of the stuff we made up. Where does it all end? Ah, stuff it. Main Topic: RP... more

  • Going From Strength to Strength

    One of the ‘Great Old Ones’ of RPG/ horror literature podcasting, this show goes from strength to strength in its second decade. I am enjoying the new format in which our hosts are joined by a special guest each episode (or pair of episodes) - a nice blending of the familiar and the strange, old friends and new.

    The conversations of the Good Friends take in most topics under the sun(s) - all seen through the blood-stained spectacles of horror, of course!

  • Oh how i love this show these hosts. It makes me wish there was a show about the knee popping "adventures of old man vampire Scott!

    Every episode is an interesting discussion and after the sad departure of their third host, they now bring guests hosts who just happen to be my favourite roleplayers and people! Ross Bryant AND Josephine McAdam!

    Can this show get any better!?

  • Great Podcast

    Easy to listen to, great chemistry, and regularly shares ideas that I’ve found myself thinking about weeks later. I’ve listened to many episodes in the back catalogue multiple times.

    While it’s sad to see Paul Fricker leave the show, the guest hosts have been a great fit and brought a new depth to the show. I’ve been a listener for four years now, and I look forward for many more years to come.

  • Inspiring

    The hosts of the show are incredibly insightful into Lovecraft’s work and what makes horror work in gaming. Listening to this podcast has been a great resource for my own scenario writing.

  • Gentlemen gamers (and tipplers)

    Final Update October 2024 With the sad announcement that Paul will be stepping down as host with episode 300, I felt compelled to update my review one last time. It feels as if Balanchine is leaving the New York Ballet. I dearly love Scott and Matt, but i can’t help feel an end of an era upon us. I wanted to share one last time just how important this podcast has been to me. I lost my dad in 2016 to Lewy Body Dementia…and then began to slowly lose my mom to Alzheimer’s right afterwards. It felt ... more

The Searcher of the End House, by William Hope Hodgson – part 2
Q: What were the feet like?
The inspector orders the constables to open the cellar door, which reveals unusual footprints leading to it.
The Ghost of Listener Suggestions
Q: What about NOPE from the viewpoint of cosmic or unknowable horror?
The film presents itself as a UFO abduction film but subverts those expectations significantly.
Psychological Horror in Call of Cthulhu
Q: What does psychological horror mean to you, Matt?
It's a very nebulous, very woolly term for me, and it often overlaps with psychological thrillers.
Special: Strength Drain and Recovery With Frank Delventhal
Q: How can a character raise their strength percentage while training between adventures?
It depends on age and size; younger characters with larger frames can gain strength rapidly whereas older individuals face longer recovery and development times.
Special: Strength Drain and Recovery With Frank Delventhal
Q: What factors influence the recovery time from strength drain after an incident?
Recovery time highly depends on individual lifestyle, age, and the extent of the physical damage done, varying anywhere from a week for endurance athletes to several months for those with more sedentary lifestyles or older age.
