This week we talk about our favourite magical spells from non-Lovecraftian sources, as a follow-up to our discussion of spells from Call of Cthulhu in episode 16. Matt and Scott pick examples from some of their favourite roleplaying games, and Paul does his own thing.
No, the other Paul
We recorded this episode before our interview with Rafael Chandler, which is why you will hear Scott explaining the Books of Pandemonium to Paul and Matt, despite us apparently just having spoken to their author. We may be getting on a bit, but we’re not that forgetful!
The games we discuss are:
- Monsterhearts
- Kult (Sadly out of print)
- Ars Magica
- Vampire: The Masquerade
- Pandemonio
- The Book of Unremitting Horror
- Unknown Armies

A couple I’m fond of from home-grown systems:
Citysink
Dimensional Formatter
Those sound very sinister indeed!
I always loved Triad of Flame from Rolemaster; it sounded menacing and like a John Woo film.
