Summary: <br> <br> <br> Campus Crier<br> <br> <br> <br> The Campus Crier is where we keep all the mythos related news and info for the podcast, this episode was recorded on October 10th, 2020. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Our friend and editor of the show, Edwin, is involved in the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/necromancergames/midderlands-setting-and-bestiary-for-fifth-edition/description">Midderland 5e setting Kickstarter</a>! The book is a setting and bestiary for the “green-hued dark-fantasy” based on middle England. Edwin did the 5e conversion for the setting and Ennie Award winning artist, Glynn Seal is the primary author, artist, and layout artist. I’ve seen the 11 page teaser PDF and it looks really quite cool. You can get a PDF for $25, $35 for a POD softcover, and $45 will get you a hardback with an amazing fold out map.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/necromancergames/midderlands-setting-and-bestiary-for-fifth-edition/description<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There is a PDF “taster” available here: <a href="https://1drv.ms/b/s!Asryxq7YIiBZhtYMcbTPSbPWDiKf9Q?e=0fsfef">https://1drv.ms/b/s!Asryxq7YIiBZhtYMcbTPSbPWDiKf9Q?e=0fsfef</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Good Friend of Jackson Elias and all round awesome guy Paul Fricker has a new scenario for Call of Cthulhu out in the Miskatonic Repository called Full Fathom Five, a reference to Shakespeare’s Ariel’s song. It is set on board a whaling ship in the Pacific ocean in 1847 and involves a series of deaths or murders on board. Some of our own illustrious members, past and present, have played this as playtesters including Keepers Dan &amp; Chad, Editor Max and a whole slew of other people we know and love. It looks really fantastic, so go and check it out.
