“I think their predominant colour was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs.”
Shadow Over Innsmouth, H.P. Lovecraft

Finding us at GenCon 2019 should be pretty easy this year! We’re practically in the middle of the hall, with a direct line to a main entrance. Head right on down Aisle 1200 until you see the Dice Hog. Ok… he’s pretty small… nowhere near as big as he is in the pic below. Just look for our big Shuffling Horror banner, a wall of Roswell 51 and Pittsburgh 68 games, and the smiling faces of the GameWick Gang.
Looking for what game events we’re running? Here’s the full list. Most are SOLD OUT, but we do accept generics if players don’t show up. All games are on the Lucas Oil Stadium field (a short walk from the exhibit hall). We are the first tables you will find when entering the field! Don’t miss your chance to play in a stadium event!!!
Can’t wait to see some old friends and meet some new ones!

” . .and one, who led the way, was clad in a ghoulishly humped black coat and striped trousers,
and had a man’s felt hat perched on the shapeless thing that answered for a head. . . .”
The Groom is just on of the terrors that await you in old Innsmouth town. He was inspired by that single line of text in H.P. Lovecraft’s original weird tale. Not the sort of guy you want to meet in a dark alley!
Read his full story here, in Backer Update #4.

It’s Monster Monday in old Innsmouth, where we reveal one of the monsters found within our game and give you a little blurb about them. We start with the Elders of the Abyss. In Lovecraft’s Shadow Over Innsmouth, it is noted that the Innsmouth fishing industry went through a boom time. Fish everywhere! It is noted:
“As for business—the abundance of fish was certainly almost uncanny…”
Perhaps, beneath the waves, there was something driving those fish towards old Innsmouth Bay? Like the Elders of the Abyss, maybe?!?

“Lawrence heard there was a new Lovecraft inspired board game on kickstarter this week.
He thought it would be just another Lovecraftian game and didn’t check it out. Lawrence was wrong.”
Innsmouth 32 Kickstarter Link:
But who is this Lawrence? And what does he have to do with our story anyways?!?
In Lovecraft’s original weird tale, there is a mention of Cousin Lawrence, who is in the “permanent seclusion of a sanitarium at Canton”. There is, of course, more to his sad story, but I don’t want to give away the ending of Lovecraft’s story…
Suffice it to say, he’s come back home to Innsmouth…
