* A tabletop role-playing story. You can enjoy it even if you've never played before.
* Includes my own take on Lovecraftian elements. This is not traditional CoC.
* Episodic stories. They won't be written in the order listed here. Which scenario comes first depends on the dice maiden.
* I won't change the dice rolls, so major characters may die. I'll try to save them, but it depends on the dice maiden's mood...
