Enjoy!<br> <br> <br> <br> Campus Crier<br> <br> <br> <br> The Campus Crier is the Miskatonic University’s student newspaper. This edition was collected on July 30th, 2020.<br> <br> <br> <br> Just a quick note about programming here at MUP. As you might have noticed in the leadin we have expanded our coverage area. We at MUP have all been playing more and more games in the generic horror and dark fantasy genres recently, and we wanted to talk about those games on the show more often. So we will be. So expect some more talks about Alien RPG, Mork Borg, and Symbaroum in addition to our normal coverage of CoC, Delta Green, Gumshoe, etc. And expect our lead-in to shift as we find a new line that we can all live with. We don’t think this will be that big of a shift for many of our listeners, but we wanted to be upfront and let you know.<br> <br> <br> <br> There will be an <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1881168175/harlem-unbound-a-cthulhu-roleplaying-game-sourcebo/posts/2904588?ref=ksr_email_backer_project_update_registered_users">Live Play of Harlem Unbound</a> over at the <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/darker_hue">Darker Hue Twitch channel</a>that has some pretty awesome talent lined up to play including Misha B, Ariel Celeste, Jennifer Kretchmer, Matthew Mercer, Quinn Murphy.
