- D&D V&G 3: DragonshardHAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS GAME BEFORE? Because Rudy Basso, Alex Basso, Ray Fallon, and Vegas Lancaster sure haven't. It's an RTS set in Eberron that was released in 2006 that floated right past our and - it seems - most of the collective gaming audience's radars. Is it a hidden treasure, lost in the ruins of Khyber? Or is it a way too deadly trap that was rightly ignored, waiting to be released upon a quartet of foolish adventurers who are full of pizza and wings?

- Appendix N Podcast - Episode 11 - The Complete Works of H. P. Lovecraft (Part 3)
Third part of a three-part series. My guests and I discuss The
Call of Cthulhu, the most famous story by H. P. Lovecraft featuring hisiconic creation, and we also talk about the roleplaying game of the same name.www.nobleknight.com
Lovecraft, H. P. The Complete Works.
H. P. Lovecraft
born 1890, died 1937
Born in Providence, RI, son of a traveling salesman and a woman
who could trace her ancestry back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. WhenLovecraft was only 3 years old, his father was placed in a psychiatricinstitution and died 5 years later, as Lovecraft himself claimed, of paralysisbrought on by “nervous exhaustion.” Lovecraft’s mother suffered from hysteriaand depression and died at the same hospital about 23 years later.Lovecraft was raised by his mother and his mother’s family,
including his grandfather who was a businessman. It was this grandfather whoencouraged him to read and interested him in tales of Gothic horror.Lovecraft was an intelligent but sickly child who grew into a
gaunt, pale adult. He suffered a nervous breakdown prior to his high schoolgraduation and never received his diploma. Although today he is regarded byfans as one of the greatest literary geniuses of the 20th century, he was neverfinancially successful in his own time, partly due to his own unwillingness. Hewas friends with many other writers of his day, including most famously RobertE. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian.He was briefly married to a woman named Sonia Greene and lived
with her in New York City, where he was famously miserable.Lovecraft returned to Providence in 1926 and lived there until his
death in 1937. He was diagnosed with cancer of the small intestine and died inpoverty.Today the images of H. P. Lovecraft and his most famous creation,
the monster Cthulhu, are well known to gamers. Cthulhu appears on t-shirts, inboard games, card games, roleplaying games, and video games. He is credited asan inspiration by many, many horror and fantasy writers, and filmmakers whocame after him. And yet his name is relatively unknown outside of geek andgamer culture, probably less recognizable to the general public than EdgarAllen Poe and Steven King.My guests:
