In this episode, we’re again joined by actor and director Drew Shirley to discuss old school dungeon crawling and modern Cthulhu gaming.

Old School Dungeon Crawling is New Again

Question…?

● What is up with the old school “scene”, and its indy success? Favorite old school systems and why?

● What are the parallels between this old school style of play and Call of Cthulhu? History of D&D and its inspirations.

● How do the three: Old School, Modern D&D, and Cthulhu compare to each other, where do they stand apart?

● How does knowing Old School methodology help your Cthulhu game as a keeper? What can you steal?

● How do you feel about sword and sorcery games in general?

● What Cthulhu elements do you wish D&D had more of, and vice versa?

Be sure to check out Drew Shirley’s upcoming Kickstarter… You Carry the Fire!

It's a cool adventure with awesome art that is very much a blend of the two sensibilities (Old School and Cthulhu) we have been discussing.
