Risate che scoppiano all'improvviso per battute insensate, carni al vento che seguono piccoli riflettori (gli smartphone) come un asino seguirebbe una carota appesa ad un bastone incollato sul suo stesso dorso; puzza di sudore, facce stolide e flaccide con occhietti meschini, canzoni sempre uguali, colori sbiaditi dal tempo e da estati trite e ritrite... ora io non voglio dire che recarsi a mezzanotte in un cerchio di pietre armati di un antichissimo tomo sacrilego per evocare divinità dormienti provenienti da oltre le stelle sia una risposta adeguata alla classica "estate italiana"... però sarebbe comprensibile.

the urge to dnd-ify everything is a plague upon tabletop roleplaying culture. the mummy, being as it is about a party of 1920s archaeologists, adventurers, and opportunist treasure hunters who stumble upon an ancient cursed tomb with “-hotep” in the name, would so obviously be a game of call of cthulhu

Horror Month 2024 Day 24: The Call of Cthulhu (2005)
The idea of making this story by H.P. Lovecraft into a silent film works not only to look like the time in which it was written, but also as a narrative device. The title cards help in telling the story not only through dialogue but through the exposition of the main narrator of the story. In my mind, though, it’s hard at this point to watch a modern-day movie made to look like it’s from the…

Collider: This H.P. Lovecraft Story Was “Unfilmable” Until This Low-Budget Version Nailed It
So, here's an adaptation of Lovecraft's unfilmable story "The Call of Cthulhu."
Well...
It was once thought to be a nearly impossible tale to bring to life!
Turns out that we shouldn't have.
I had just been thinking of advances in AI or mechanical techniques to do HPL's most famous story some true justice.
Instead, these intrepid movie makers used silent film to...
(Think of this as a 1st draft - which disappeared from my phone before I could finish it!
So, I rewrote it!!
Now you have a 2nd & better version to read...)
End.

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is a neo-noir investigation-focused RPG with (as you can probably guess from the title) a supernatural twist. Eureka fills several voids we have noticed in the TTRPG space. Eureka supports investigation to a degree we haven’t seen before, ensuring that searching for clues is a granular and player-driven process, but also ensuring that the whole story doesn’t grind to a halt after one single failed investigation check.
Though most PCs will be mundane humans—or perhaps because most PCs will be mundane humans—Eureka also supports playing monstrous PCs, such as a vampire, in a way we have never seen before. This isn’t just a watered-down stat bonus, it’s like playing an almost entirely different game, with all the monster’s strengths and weaknesses to account for while solving the mystery, plus the added incentive to keep it a secret from the other PCs as well as their players.
If you like or are interested in Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week, Dresden Files, X-Files, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Apocalypse Keys, or Gumshoe, you’ll probably find something in Eureka to really enjoy.
Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is kickstarting from right now until May 10th! Back it while you still can!

We hope to see you there, and that you will help our dreams come true and launch our careers as indie TTRPG developers with a bang by getting us to our base goal and blowing those stretch goals out of the water, and fight back against WotC's monopoly on the entire hobby. Wish us luck.

Believe it or not, it is The Fall of Delta Green (2018) that finally got me to pay attention to Delta Green at large. Something about this cover art struck me as enticing, perhaps in the manner of a train wreck — Call of Cthulhu meets Vietnam? How are they going to pull that off?
Well, for starters, Fall isn’t Call of Cthulhu, it’s a standalone Gumshoe game (though it is compatible with both Trail of Cthulhu and Night’s Black Agents). I’m not super interested in the system, honestly, but I absolutely love the source material laid out here (and it is usable, really, with your Cthulhu game of choice). It was the operational history of Delta Green as presented here that hooked me on the larger Delta Green universe; the broad strokes of that are the same as in both the Pagan and Arc Dream DGs. What’s unique here is the particular focus on the ’60s, an era of dirty politics, dirty wars, massive social upheavals, drugs and all sorts of tomfoolery on the fringes of the counter-culture. As with the ’90s and our current era, the ’60s seem particularly rich backdrop suited to bringing out the themes of DG.
It’s also a rich moment in DG’s history. The titular fall — the unsuccessful dismantling of the program — is triggered by an unauthorized operation in Vietnam and Cambodia gone horribly wrong in late 1969, early 1970. That episode is kept vague in all histories of Delta Green, but here it takes on a vivid horror — Col. Wade Satchel is sort of a Delta Green version of Col. Walter Kurtz from Apocalypse Now. He traffics with dangerous forces and gets a lot of people killed before being assassinated by survivors of one of his doomed off-the-books operations. Marrying that film with the Cthulhu mythos makes for some truly unpleasant dreams!

QUESTO MONDO NON MI RENDERÀ CATTIVO (ma un po' incazzato sì, dai)
Un veloce recap delle puntate precedenti:
TI AMO ERIKA DI NOVI LIGURE - Ventitré anni fa una sedicenne ha fatto a fette mamma e fratellino con l'aiuto del moroso diciassettenne, dando poi la colpa agli albanesi. La sera in cui la Lega stava per fare una fiaccolata a base di torce e forconi per scovare i responsabili e linc... assicurarli alla giustizia ops no, scusate ciabbiamo judo. Quella frase del titolo l'avevo vista scritta su un muro nel 2003 e a quei tempi le mie figlie erano troppo piccole perché capissimo le nostre colpe e le nostre responsabilità.
TUTTO D'UN PEZZO - Non leggo più e non guardo serie tv o film. Sono mesi e mesi che la sera faccio binge watching di One Piece, un anime da più di mille episodi, e a momenti mi metto in pari ma non ho idea quanto il mondo del cinema e dell'editoria sia andato avanti mentre ero distratto.
DUE METRI DI TERRENO - L'altro giorno ho assistito a un'accesa discussione su conti correnti, parenti serpenti e carichi pendenti, quando a un certo punto non ce l'ho fatta più e ho urlato un haiku ispirato dal tenore livoroso dell'argomento
Soffi di vento, l'attimo prima spiri e dopo spiri
DI QUESTO TI PUOI FIDARE - Ho ripreso a forgiare - caldo per caldo che sia un caldo fruttuoso - e sono a metà strada nel progetto ambizioso di un'arma inastata che nel Giappone feudale usavano le donne per proteggere casa.
MEDICE, CURA TE IPSUM - Una persona mi ha detto che mi invidia perché se sento male da qualche parte ne conosco subito le cause. Certo... contusione del piatto tibiale sx a opera dei condili femorali con infiammazione da stiramento dei legamenti crociati, rachialgia lombare a sbarra con irradiamento gluteo da compressione del plesso femorale dx a livello di L5-S1 da bulging discale, epicondilite dx con rizartrosi e mialgia del flessore del pollice, corda colica, bruxismo e reflusso gastro-esofageo. Che culo.
MUORE GIOVANE CHI È CARO AGLI DEI - Piccola pausa di ferragosto dal masteraggio su Discord di una campagna di Call of Cthulhu ambientata nel 1983 nel mio quartiere viareggino. Se non sapete cosa sia una Baldoria è inutile vi racconti la trama.
INTERCAMBIABILITÀ DI FACCIA E CULO - Qualche anno fa vidi uno scherzo in cui un critico veniva invitato alla premiere di una proiezione cinematografica d'essai (volutamente orribile) e a tutti i suoi colleghi era stato chiesto di parlarne in modo entusiasta, mentre lui si guardava attorno con sconcerto crescente. Sono 10 mesi che io ho quell'espressione tutte le volte che i mezzi di informazione parlano del genocidio del popolo di Gaza utilizzando perifrasi e litoti che tanto mi ricordano 'allergia al piombo' e 'la scuola non c'è più a causa di eventi esterni'.
NOTTE PRIMA DEGLI ESAMI - Ciao Laura... Ti ricordi quando ti sono venuto a prendere in macchina per andare a fare gli orali della maturità? La mia non fu solo la gentilezza di un compagno di classe ma che tu l'avessi capito o meno non importa... non ho avuto il coraggio di dirtelo e così la storia che avevo immaginato è sopravvissuta luminosa al mondo che è andato avanti.
