Brendan explores the question of what he thinks about colonialism as represented in games and games built on the H.P. Lovecraft mythos. How does H.P.

- Rahdo’s comments (I think) that inspired this discussion.
- Lindsay Ellis on Death of the Author and on J.K. Rowling
- Arkham Horror LCG
- Mombasa
- On Orson Scott Card
- On H. P. Lovecraft (by someone who probably wouldn’t want to play any Lovecraftian games)
- Late Victorian Holocausts
