We’re back and we’re summoning horrors from beyond space and time. If we’re honest, we’re not quite sure why we’re doing this, but here we are. It’s too late to worry about such details at this stage. We started off by calling up Iod. While he offered to take us on the holiday of a lifetime, the final stop sounded less appealing. Zu-che-quon left us cold, especially when it came to the whole eye thing. Maybe Nyogtha is the best option. Sure, an eternal undeath might drag on a bit, but it still seems like the least worst option. If only we’d thought all this through before starting that chant…

Main Topic: Call of Cthulhu Deities – Iod, Zu-che-quon, and Nyogtha

This episode is our latest exploration of the deities of the Cthulhu Mythos. We have devoted previous episodes to Dagon, Shub-Niggurath, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, Hastur, Azathoth, Nodens, Ubbo-Sathla and Mordiggian, Ithaqua, Cthulhu, Daoloth and Eihort, Gla’aki, Y’golonac, Tsathoggua, Atlach-Nacha and Abhoth, Cyäegha and Byatis, Yig and Ghatanothoa, and Shudde M’ell, Yibb-Tstll and Bugg-Shash.

Here, we’re turning to the creations of Henry Kuttner, a member of the original Lovecraft circle. Specifically, we’re covering the gods Iod, Zu-che-quon, and Nyogtha. As usual, we discuss their origins in fiction, how they’ve been developed in the Call of Cthulhu RPG, and how we might use them in our own games.
