Creating Horror in TTRPGs with Call of Cthulhu Creative Director Mike Mason - PODCAST
Call of Cthulhu Creative Director Mike Mason joins me on today’s dicegeeks podcast. We have a fantastic conversation covering a breadth of topics. We discuss how CoC game masters can create a feeling of horror in their RPG sessions.
We talk about Mike’s career as an RPG game designer with Chaosium. We discuss all sorts of GM advice. Plus I nearly detail the podcast by singing the praises of the movie Jaws. Don’t miss it!
