Thank you guys very much. It was a blast recording with you.
For the rest of you… check out Shaun, Kristin and five guys from Good Omens (plus Lesley) here: Special Episode 3 – Interview With Good Omens
Tentacles of the North – Recap
24 years ago
At Kublacon 2007, Good Omens Productions held their first ever LARP, Tentacles of the North, a Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages viking tale. One of our players was tasked with creating an epic poem recounting the events that unfolded that even and did she deliver! Here’s a recap of the night, enjoy!

THREE ARE THE SHIPS IN FROM THE WILD WAVES
THREE ARE THE CAPTAINS WHO PRESENTS BRING
THREE ARE THE STORIES TOLD IN THIS HALL
WINTER WHITE HORSE, ICY MARE, FIRST SPOKEN
IN THE LAND OF THE IRISH
WON GOLD AND GLORY
FIERCE ASGRIM PULLED BY THE STRENGTH OF ARM
SWEET LIFE, HANGING IN THE STRANGED CHIEFTEN
NEXT THE TALE OF A SHIP “WORLD SERPENT”
SOUTH TH ENGLES-LAND
SAILED FOR PLUNDER
INTO THE TEMPLE OF THE TENTACLED ONE-GOD
THE FROG-MEN, SLIT-BELLIED, DIED BEFORE THEM
LAST THE SHIP CAME, WAVE WOLF, STORY BEARING,
MIGHTY STORMS CRASH, WILD WEATHER, SEA LIGHTENING
DRIVEN TO SHELTER IN THE MAW OF AN ISLAND,
FROM A MIGHTY CAVE SERPENT A BRACELET THEY BROUGHT.
THREE MEN SPOKE – THREE STORIES – THREE PRESENTS
BUT IN FROM THE DARKNESS, UNBIDDED, A FOURTH
DARK WAS HIS STORY, ILL FORTUNE IN VINLAND
GREAT THE GOLD STOLEN – FAR GREATER THE PRICE
WORSHIPPED THE STRANGE GOD,
THE SKRAELLINGS, MAD-TEMPERED, CALLED OUT TO THEIR ALLIES
FIERCE WERE THOSE GREY MEN.
UP FROM THE OCEAN, COLD FINGERED THEY CLIMBED HER
THE SEA-BITCH, SORE WOUNDED, SOUGHT PEACE OF DEEPWATERS
MAD ULF BRINGS THESE TIDINGS.
ALL OTHERS WERE TAKEN.
NOT LONG WERE THESE STORIES TO RING IN OUR RAFTERS
ERE DARK DESTINY RAIN DOWN UPON US
STONES TO OUR DOORS, WARRIORS TAKEN,
DARK STORMS TO MASK THE FACE OF OUR ENEMY.
HROLF THE KING COLLAPSED IN WEAKNESS
SIGRID, HUSCARL, DRAWN TO MADNESS
TOOK THE PLUNDER, SKRAELLING’S IDOL.
GRABBED IT CLOSE AND FLED TO DARKNESS.
CAME THE BEAST OUT OF THE DARKNESS
SLICK WITH CLAWS, IT’S STENCH WAS FOUL
BACK AGAIN THE HUSSCARL RISES
FROM THE DEATH-WOUND HEMING WALKS
FIERCE AND MIGHTY ROSE THE NORSEMEN
FOUGHT FOR PRINCESS, HEARTH AND HALL
SLEW THE MONSTER DARK WITH ICHOR
SLEW AGAIN OUR DEAD COMPANIONS
MORNING RISES OVER ICELAND
BLOOD-RED SUN O’R ALL THE CARNAGE
BRINGS THE LIGHT TO END MY TALE.

Good Omens Con review coming soon -Sean Nittner

I really, really wanted to sit down and write a review of the con tonight to post on the site. However after many hours of driving and being on the beach all day, my eyes refuse to stay open and while I can touch type just fine I don’t trust my evil fingers to do my bidding without close supervision. I’ll post a formal review shortly, but to sum up the con was great. The GMs were great, the players were awesome, and EndGame rocks for hosting us. More inane details (and on very blurry picture) to follow.

Good Omens and me (a GM’s philosophy on who we are) – Chad Lynch

by Chadmeister

If one were to ask every member of Good Omens who we are or what it means to them, one would probably get a dozen different answers. So I thought I would share my thoughts on Good Omens as a whole and hope this enlightens some people on who exactly we are, what some of our philosphies are as a group and what direction we are trying to head.
