Modern Mythos: Ep.23 - Hasbro Fireside Chat and the Ecology of Ghouls
About this Episode
In this episode, Jon and Seth discuss the fallout from Hasbro's December 2022 fireside chat with their shareholders. This entire conversation is speculative, so please take it with a grain of salt. For all we know, nothing detrimental will come from this, and at worst Jon and Seth sound like old men yelling at clouds. Only time will tell for sure.
The gents also discuss ghouls and how you might use them in your Call of Cthulhu game. They talk about how they differ from their fantasy RPG counterparts and the extent of their reach in the realms of Call of Cthulhu.
