Sandy of Cthulhu: The Sorcerers of Yaddith
In a recent Sandy of Cthulhu video on YouTube, Sandy talks about the New Age psychology that was popular during the 1920s and how it influenced the literature of the day. Even though Lovecraft wasn’t impressed with spiritualism and psychic phenomena, he recognized its popularity and incorporated it into some of his works.

Find out from Sandy how E. Hoffman Price, a devotee of Lovecraft, expanded the spiritualism that was popular in his day by rewriting a version of Lovecraft’s “The Silver Key” and including a strange a race of aliens called the Sorcerers of Yaddith.

The Cardboard Herald Reviews Cthulhu Wars Duel & Extinction 

“The pairing of the two sets gives me enough variety and variability that Cthulhu Wars Duel together with Extinction has actually eclipsed Cthulhu Wars proper for me. They are still different experiences, but the fundamental gameplay is extremely close and the two-player design lends it a great aggressive forward momentum.”

Sandy of Cthulhu: I Want to Talk About War

In his latest Sandy of Cthulhu video on YouTube, Sandy talks about this relevant topic, suggesting that it’s a really important subject to study, even for men who don’t like war, like him.

If you are fascinated by the history of war, Sandy suggests a definition, explains the difference between a “war” and a “conflict,” speculates about other non-human species’ ability to fight wars, and even throws in some of his favorite war movies.
