Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! This week, the SnakesCast team hopes not to go completely insane as we take a look at games based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Today, Monday July 3rd 2017, we begin by discussing the themes of Lovecraft's work, and we talk about how they may or may not be well-represented in modern media.

Lovecraft, Part 1 - The themes of Lovecraft's work and how they are represented in modern media

The world of tabletop games is a lot bigger than most people realize. In fact it's so big that the idea of investigating it can actually be kind of intimidating. When you see all those games you've never heard of, with rules and concepts and themes you've never seen before in a game, it's hard to know where to start.
The answer is: start with the SnakesCast. Every week, we'll bring you ten or fifteen minutes' worth of banter about what makes these games worth playing. With a different theme every episode and a rotating cast of both gurus and non-gurus from Toronto's premiere boardgame café, we'll show you just how much there is to play with out there.
