Calls For Cthulhu

Cost of Cthulhu

Recently, a viewer asked the age-old question, “When is the next episode coming?” I told them about how it was a question of time and money, and how I was still swamped with projects. Then they responded, “Fair enough. Hypothetically speaking, then, how would one send you the dough?”

Honestly, I hadn’t even thought of that. I assumed that, when I had some spare time, I would set up another Kickstarter to fund another episode. It hadn’t even occurred to me that people might want to fund it even when I wasn’t ready… and to be honest, if we could fully fund it, I could hold off on some of the other projects for a while.

So here’s what I’ve done. I’ve made a donation page so that people can fund an episode, and once we reach a predetermined limit (say $500), I’ll make a new episode.

If you state in the “special instructions” field that it’s okay to use your name on the show, I’ll list you as a backer in the actual video.

Via Mike Moss, there’s an excellent parody of the Old Spice commercials which features our great old one himself.

Hilarious stuff. “Unspeakable Horror!”

Calls For Cthulhu wins this year’s Susan Lucci Parsec Prize!

Brand — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:11:39 +0000

Susan Lucci was famous for, among other things, being nominated for 18 emmys without winning. Until recently, Nathan Lowell held the award for receiving 4 parsec nominations, but never winning.

Yesterday, Nathan Lowell broke that streak by winning a Parsec award for his book “Captain’s Share”. At the same time, “Calls for Cthulhu” lost for the third time as a finalist. Brand Gamblin, the creator of C4C, has now personally been nominated for four Parsec Awards, which means that he is now the reigning “Susan Lucci” Parsec nominee.

Let’s see if he can keep up the streak next year.
