Hi there! I'm ket, a Forever-GM for a long running #CallofCthulhu campaign with Pulp Cthulhu rules. I'm a fan of Horror RPGs and I'm also interested in other systems like Delta Green & Mothership!

I like to post about my campaign/homebrew scenarios, my cats, writing, and sometimes video games.
A "shelfie" showing off some of the things on top of my Gaming Shelf. Items include, from left to right: Back row: A Cthulhu Squishmallow. A Dice Holder with Cthulhu emblazoned on it. A Psyduck candy dispenser. A mug with the Yellow Sign. A Cat-Bat plush from NYCC 2019, Middle Row: Murkrow and Skarmory plushes, with matching Pokemon TCG cards. A dice set made to look like a revolver cylinder and bullets. A set of 36 D6s. A plaque with a dragon on it Front row: A metal plate with a branch Elder Sign and a verse of Cassilda's Song engraved on it. A "Spirit" card from Many Worlds Tavern coffee. A 3D printed coin with The Yellow Sign and a set of tarot-style cards from the Carnival of Madness CoC One-shot. Another metal plate with a branch Elder Sign. And a fidget spinner with dice values on it and a dragon motif.

I received my copy of @nilhemothgames.bsky.social and @phdnd.bsky.social's #ttrpg "5 Acts: The King in Yellow," and I can't wait to really dive in! Just had a quick skim and I'm already loving the art and all the little GM bits of world building and story hooks.

Have YOU found The Yellow Sign?
A photograph of a TTRPG book titled "5 Acts: The King in Yellow" with the o in yellow being a stylized version of Pelgrane Press's Yellow Sign. The cover features a red lake under strange cloud waves, with spires of buildings peeking out from just behind the clouds. A red moon hangs in front of some of the spires, and the red sky turns black towards the top of the illustration. In the foreground just on the left edge of the illustration are tattered yellow strips of cloth. The author is listed as Jason Bowers, Illustrated by Sam Fontaine & Mel Williams.

Legit, my favorite part of running any prewritten #TTRPG scenario is that exact moment my players blow it up and I gotta start improvising with the scattered pieces.

I love me a good premade adventure! But it feels so much more special when the players break it and we get to make it our own

Anyway if you are in ttrpg actual play and have opinions on how to run and play darker, more serious, and emotional AP, I’m hosting a convo hour over @conventionzero.bsky.social this Saturday!

Hope to see you there!

🎨 I never did post the finished version of this, did I? A while back I drew a lineup of our Call of Cthulhu players' investigators (+ Kibble, my favorite NPC disasters.)

The cat is an important party member, of course.

#KittensDidNothingWrong #OC #TTRPG
Character lineup art featuring seven people and a cat. From left to right, their names are Bull, Kittens, An, Corinne, Royce, Jax, and SYC (the cat). Bull is the tallest by far and Kittens is the smallest (obviously not counting the actual cat.) They are all dressed well to reflect the 1920s.

one of our Call of Cthulhu players got a fumble but we recently made the switch from Roll20 to Foundry
Simpsons meme of Marge incorrectly yelling at Bart. The text has been altered. Marge: Roll20, no! Bart (with the Roll20 logo on his head): What? Marge: Sorry, force of habit. Marge: Foundry, no!

🎨 I've been somewhat stern up till recently about which #HBHS images get released early, but I'm making an executive decision to show you this image of Chloe.

Pre-order our dating sim: heartbeat-highschool.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
Chibi art of a cute fat girl with blue hair that's tied in a side-ponytail. She's wearing colorful overalls, purple eyeshadow, and has charms hanging from her scrunchie. She is holding a fish that has been lovingly rendered in much more detail than the rest of the image. Chloe (the girl, not the fish) is from Heartbeat Highschool, a solo journaling dating sim TTRPG. If you must, you may call the fish Bertram.

(but you can help me by checking out both projects!
kattabolt.com - my cool webcomic!
heartbeat-highschool.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... - the cool dating sim I art direct!)
classic meme of the distracted boyfriend holding his angry girlfriend's hand while he looks appraisingly at another woman, but in this case the boyfriend has apricot's profile picture on the head, the angry girlfriend is a discord emoji of an angry Alex the cat girl from their webcomic, Kattabolt, and the other woman has the logo for the Heartbeat Highschool TTRPG on top of her face. The joke is that apricot is ignoring Kattabolt and focusing on HBHS instead.

I've got like, six other crowd funded games I'm waiting to get rewards from, and an ever growing list of other games I want to buy.

Some people collect dice, I collect Horror TTRPGs lol
A still from The Simpsons featuring Marge Simpson holding a potato with the caption "I just think they're neat!", often used as a meme template. The potato has been replaced with a clip art of a stack of books, the top one featuring the outline of a d20

Heck yeah! Got a message from the post office and went and picked up my Kickstarter backer rewards for Free League's Alien Evolved Edition. I've already got so many games to run, but I can fit one more in my schedule, right?

...right?

Two of my players in DG are also in my #CallOfCthulhu campaign, where we played Thoth's Dagger. As I described the sharp-dressed man @rukixstalker.bsky.social let out a gasp. Then I put up some art @demondionysus.bsky.social had done back then, and @cutiecakes.bsky.social started cussing me out 😄

He speaks to them, using their real names, fake names, and cell codenames interchangeably. Tells them he's looking forward to the next time they do business. Bids them a good day and leaves.

Cue credits.

Great time had all around

We finished our run of Music From a Darkened Room for #DeltaGreen on Sunday and oh man!

The Agents dispelled the force behind the Spooner Ave house, but at a cost that will certainly come back to haunt them.

What a fun, creepy scenario. My players will never enjoy Moonlight Sonata again lol

Shout-out to @tidalwavegames.com for letting me run @sentinelhillpress.bsky.social's fantastic #CallOfCthulhu oneshot "The Dare" for their home table last night! It's the second time I've run it, and it went wildly different than last time. I had an absolute blast!

Wild how two different groups can play the same one shot with the same GM and still have such vastly different experiences. TTRPGs stay winning

Had an amazing finale to our latest #CallOfCthulhu scenario in our Pulp episodic campaign last night. The Heroes made their way through Carcosa and found the source of their troubles, and took down the villain and a dozen marionettes, then defeated two Spawns of Hastur!
