<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Jon and Seth are joined by Oscar Rios, President of Golden Goblin Press. We ask him about the latest news coming out of Golden Goblin Press, and why the Miskatonic Valley is such an attractive locale for Lovecraftian Gothic horror.</p> <p>This episode is sponsored by Matt "Doc" Tracey, and his amazing Call of Cthulhu scenarios, Ghost Trade, and Lights in the Trees.</p> <p><strong>Ghost Trade</strong> is a classic 1920s scenario set in the fictional town of Pennybrook, Maine. The investigators visit Pennybrook to study a spike in the number of earthquakes in the region. Townsfolk say the earthquakes are the result of the Pennybrook ghost. Clearly, there is a rational scientific reason for the earthquakes, and the investigators are determined to find out what it is.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/454901/ghost-trade?affiliate_id=51821" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ghost Trade on DriveThruRPG</a></p> <p><strong>Lights in the Trees</strong> is a 1975 post-Vietnam War setting scenario. The investigators are veterans of the War, platoon brothers, who are called back together to help one of their own who’s having trouble adjusting to life back at home. Can they help their friend conquer his personal demons, or will those demons consume them as well?</p> <p><a href= "https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/477685/lights-in-the-trees?affiliate_id=51821" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lights in the Trees on DriveThruRPG</a></p> <h3><strong>Oscar Rios & Golden Goblin Press</strong></h3> <p><strong>Islands of Ignorance: The Third Cthulhu Companion </strong>Kickstarter<strong>,</strong> and <strong>Dark Seas of Infinity: The Fourth Cthulhu Companion</strong>, and <strong>Legacy of Shadows:</strong></p> <p> <a href= "https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/golden-goblin-press/island-of-ignorance-the-third-cthulhu-companion-for-7e/description" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-link-auto= "">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/golden-goblin-press/island-of-ignorance-the-third-cthulhu-companion-for-7e/description</a></p> <p>Oscar Rios Lovecraft Wiki list of credits: <a href= "https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Oscar_Rios" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-link-auto= "">https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Oscar_Rios</a></p> <p> </p> <p>We can’t do this show alone.
