Scouts vs. Cthulhu! A conversation with Seth Skorkowsky and Paul Fricker- Ep 99
About this episode
The episode features a conversation with Seth Skorkowsky and Paul Fricker about RPGs, particularly focusing on Call of Cthulhu and its resurgence.
First up, we have the gamer's friend, Seth Skorkowsky! Seth is a novelist, YouTuber, multiple ENnie winner, and nerd about town. His YouTube channel is a smorgasbord of RPG goodness, with a tentacle in practically every foetid pool of our beloved hobby. As a historian, I thought his piece on the three waves of moral panics around RPGs was particularly excellent and if you're listening to me, you should check that video out. Welcome Seth! Next up, we have not a game designer, no no but a foul necromancer. The early 21st century was a dark time for fans of the Call of Cthulhu RPG, my favorite RPG. Releases for the game were rare as hen's teeth. Then, ownership shifted, the start rolled right, and Call of Cthulhu 7th edition was unleashed upon the world. Paul, you and Mike Mason managed a feat akin to that of the D&D 5th edition team in bringing back a beloved game and making it relevant to a new era. Since then, it has been something of a Golden Age for CoC gaming, with your latest release being CAMPFIRE TALES: SCOUTS AGAINST CTHULHU! Welcome Paul! Pick up SCOUTS AGAINST CTHULHU here! Find Seth Skorkowsky's excellent fiction here, and you thrilling YouTube channel here! Support…
