Seth and Jon are in the balcony to talk about movies made within the last ten years that are considered Lovecraftian, or Lovecraftian adjacent.

But first, thank you to Graeme Patrick for sponsoring this episode! Check out his amazing scenario, Of Sorrow & Clay, available on the Miskatonic Repository on DriveThruRPG.

  • Of Sorrow & Clay is an 1880s scenario set deep in the Appalachian Mountains

  • Has a fantastic cast of extremely memorable mountain-folk NPCs for the PCs to encounter and 5 pre-gen investigators perfect for this remorse mountain setting

  • Some really cool (and new) creatures for the investigators to encounter

  • New spells and new magical items, and a couple of really nice handouts

  • Just 23 pages + Pregens

  • Alex Guillote handled art and design

  • Available Roll20 VTT pack for ease of play online
