Twilight Zone Magazine August 1985

[VonJunzt9kx]

I was in an Antique Store yesterday, in a small South East Texas town and discovered a crumbling tome, in which there was eldritch lore.  It was an article by Gahan Wilson, "I Hear You Callin' Cthulhu" which describes his experience playing the Game: Call of Cthulhu .  It was a fun read and had some nostalgic photos of the Grenadier miniatures for the game and a series of photos of the author experiencing the luck of the dice.

I wonder, are any of you aware of other hidden gems like this?

With Chaosium you could not walk down the avenue without tripping over gems like, that! Watch Deep Space 9 and Babylon 5 (and ST: TNG?) for authors who loved and wrote for Chaosium (Larry DiTillio is the easiest to list) and added in-jokes to their shows to boot.  Gene Day has been mentioned as someone who brought many to see his illustrations in Chaosium after falling in love with his comic art elsewhere. Ya, know, I remember reading that article back in the day by Herr Wilson, and thinking, ‘Well, that makes a whole lot of sense.’

This is just the beginning... Hopefully people will unload the whole 9 yards of gems to be had!

Still have my copy. Had Wilson sign it at the first NecronomiCon convention. No, I will not tell you where I live or where it's kept.
