Summary: <br> <br> <br> This episode, Keepers Dave, Jon, and Murph welcomes President of Golden Goblin Press, Oscar Rios. Golden Goblin Press is about to launch a new Kickstarter for a pair of short story collections, so we thought it'd be a great time to read some short stories and discuss them. 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 16th, 2020.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.onebookshelf.com/">One Book Shelf</a>, the company behind <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/">DriveThruRPG</a> has informed <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/">Chaosium </a>that starting immediately they are suspending Print On Demand options for items within the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/2/Chaosium/subcategory/74_29274/Miskatonic-Repository">Miskatonic Repository</a>. Going forward only titles with Electrum status (250 sales or more) will have the POD status. <br> <br> <br> <br> This is the same as a rule that DM’s Guild has had in place for some time now. The reasoning for the change is due to OBS just being swamped.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://blasphemoustomes.com/">Good Friends of Jackson Elias Con</a> has ended and it was a lot of fun!
