Lovecraft Country is a new series on HBO that draws inspiration from HP Lovecraft's mythos. We take a look at using the series as a source of inspiration for your Harlem Unbound and Trail of Cthulhu games. The series is full of developed characters with complex motivations and it grounds the series in time in a way that many others have not been able to.

We all have books sitting on our shelves full of awesome and powerful items, but somehow we don't bring those items to the table enough. We started a game with the Octo Planetary Blade and a Deck of Many Things that inspired this episode and how we have a tendency to hold back on giving players access to some of the more powerful and legendary items.

Tolkien loved arduous journeys and Jackson reinforced them with sweeping travel montages. The journey to adventures is just a quick navigation check without much of a consequence.  With travel being such a big part of most adventure stories why does it fall so flat at our tables. James and Lacey look at making these moments matter more for our games and to characters that seem purpose built for these situations but this piece is just left out.

We have all played or ran games where everyone one died a gruesome death. So what can we do to make it satisfying for everyone at the table?

Improv or planning? James makes an argument that there is another method to putting games together that lies somewhere in between the two.

This is the last episode we recorded before James left for New York City. We will be getting back on track with our normal release schedule. Now that we are all stuck at home, maybe this is the time to introduce roommates, family, or partners to the world of RPGs.
