The Two-Headed Serpent: Iceland

We've been working our way through the Two-Headed Serpent campaign, and we're reaching the Iceland chapter.

Unlike Masks or HotOE, there are a lot less handouts for this game, as is more fitting with the Pulp style I guess, as there is less investigation to an extent.

That has not stopped me however, putting together a dossier of images for the Iceland chapter, which includes images of the Snæfellsjökull volcano.

It doesn't take much to find some images online, and age them, but there are no images of the volcano erupting, because it's extinct. However, I did quickly put together these images with a little photoshop.


Please feel free to use them for your own game, and let me know if larger images would be useful.

There is also this view, which would fit what the players see as they fly in to the peninsula.


Finally, I found an old map of Iceland, where all the monsters of the sea are congregated around the  Snæfellnes peninsula.





I've also gathered these images of trolls from various artists over time. Including some old woodcuts which fit the description given in the book, and are a little creepy.







So, feel free to use all of these, I just collected them from around the web anyway. I must admit, I'm lookingforward to running this chapter, and have been brushing up on my Norse myths, so the guide can sprinkle stories into her descriptions of the area.

Necronomicon Dissection: Part 6, Purchases

Ok, so there were many reasons for going to a Con like this, but one of them is surely to pick up on products that you can't get elsewhere, or without spending too much on postage. With this in mind, I think I was actually quite restrained in my purchases. First off, I had a list of books to buy at the Chaosium stand (although I did spend my Cult of Chaos credit, and won one of these through the Extra Life Charity event prize draw). I was able to get the following: Pulp Cthulhu Two Headed Serpent Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic Doors To Darkness Dead Light Another tip to the vendors hall led me to find a couple of second hand book stores, who had all the kinds of books you'd want to find at a Con like this, including: H P Lovecraft : The Shadow over Innsmouth and other Stories of Horror, as well as a copy of August Derleth's: The Reminiscences of Solar Pons. The Necronomicon Press stand was there, where I hooked up with a copy of TED Klein's: The ...

True Love Match

I was recently notified of this little free to download RPG, that may be of interest to some of you: True Love Match . To quote the author : True Love Match is the game of romance and reality TV. You’ll need six people, a couple of rooms, and a few hours. It might mess you up a little.  I have yet to read or play the game, but knowing of it's source, I can but recommend it. True Love Match originated in my sheer fury at the cruelty of  The Bachelor as an entertainment format, and a sudden insight that I could mash together Emily Care Boss’s Breaking the Ice and Gregor Hutton’s Best Friends into a  Bachelor game.  As someone who is also left completely baffled by the popularity of the bachelor, even within my own household, this certainly seems to be something I could connect with. So, what are you waiting for? It sounds like the perfect game to spend an evening playing!
