Our 2025 ENnies submission is pulled from one episode: MUP EP 313 – GM Like a Pro: Why is Table Safety Important

In Episode 313, we spoke with a certified therapist, Perry Clark, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, on the importance of table safety.

This episode, Keepers Dave & Bridgett explore an often discussed but barely understood topic for Lovecraft Horror: Mythos Magic for your PCs. We’re using Call of Cthulhu as the ruleset but the principles can be used for any of the myriad Lovecraft investigation games.

This episode, I’m shouting out the kittuh Fiona, submitted by Skip! 

This curious cat is on two feet with curiosity and attitude on full blast. She’s giving disrespected meercat vibes and I love it.
