·  History of the site

Yog-Sothoth.com has been running in one form or another since 1998. For a long time it ticked along with the traditional 'blackground' style beloved of so many HPL inspired sites. We decided to change it in 2001 and Yog-Sothoth.com was re-launched with a somewhat green theme on 13th November 2001, the 20th anniversary of the game. The current incarnation occured at the end of 2002.

For further information, also see the CthulhuWiki entry for Yog-Sothoth.com.

·  Major Contributor Biographies

David Conyers

David ConyersDavid Conyers started his is working career as an civil engineer, but it was not until he had done time on remote outback pipeline and mining projects did he realise that this was not the life for him. Since then he’s taken on a multitude of jobs including marketing, copywriting, web design, customer service, desktop publishing, project management, business development, quality assurance, business analyst the list goes on.

In the meantime David lives to write and travel (time and money permitting). With writing he is the co-author of Pagan Publishing’s Devil’s Children and has written for Darcsyde Production’s Trauma and the upcoming Hawkmoon role-playing games. His Cthulhu Mythos short stories and articles have appeared in magazines both the United States and the United Kingdom such as The Black Seal, Dark Wisdom, Dreaming in R’lyeh and of course at Yog-Sothoth.com. His travels have taken him to six continents, South America and Africa being his favourite places, and now figures that if he visits Cairo and Shanghai he’ll have completed his Masks of Nyarlathotep world tour. Today he resides on Melbourne, Australia with his wife and their cat. Meanwhile he is hard at work on a few more projects for his favourite role-playing game, Call of Cthulhu. David's personal web site can be found at: http://www.freewebs.com/david_conyers/.


Robbie Corbett

Robbie Corbett Robbie Corbett has a career background in retailing ... and artificial intelligence. He has never had anything published, although he hopes one day to make public his own work through some backstreet vanity publishing service; and thus will the arduous task of choosing Birthday and Christmas gifts for friends be resolved for years to come.

An avid roleplayer since the late 70s, he has been known to stray from the Truth Path, however Call of Cthulhu has remained a constant in his life for the last 20 years plus, both as a player and Keeper.

When not living in cyberspace, Robbie enjoys spending time with friends, participating in multi-player computer games, wargamming, or watching his expanding collection of DVDs (mostly sci-fi, horror and 20th century war). He also enjoys writing, reading, listening to music and other armchair pursuits. He spends more time than is healthy watching Buffy and does not own a cat.


Steve Dempsey

awaiting picture!If you count Cowboys and Indians, Steve has been roleplaying for over 30 years. He enjoys Over The Edge, Traveller and anything with not too many dice, even the occasional game of Cthulhu. A self-proclaimed d20 hater, he is the natural choice for corralling our d20 forum.

Steve is also the organiser of the now infamous SteveCons, a series of semi-regular one day events that he started with his Australian counterpart Steve Darlington. They are also current and ex-editor of the roleplayers' fanzine Places To Go, People to Be. In real life he is an evil analyst for Big Brother. He and his gamer wife live in London.


Rob Fairbairn

Rob FairbairnRobert Fairbairn lives in the heart of Lovecraft County in scenic Boston Massachusetts. An all round slacker and amateur Boston historian, he spends far too many hours of his limited free time scouring the web for obscure information on colonial history and links to anything tangentially mythos related. As a recent law graduate, he spends the remainder of his waking hours sitting in musty libraries researching the medieval grimore of the Federal Estate Tax Code.



Tony Fragge

Tony FraggeTo some people's amazement Tony is alive and residing in northeast Ohio with his wife, two daughters and old english sheep dog. By day, he is a mild-mannered human resources compensation professional and at night he becomes a cultist and all-around gorehound. Besides CoC Tony enjoys collecting horror books, board games, wood working, rocketry, playing musical instruments and baseball.




Tyler Hudak

Tyler HudakTyler Hudak has been playing RPGs for 15 years, starting with the typical (AD&D, Marvel) moving onto the great (CoC of course!). He started reading Lovecraft at 13 but didn't start playing CoC until he was in his 20s. So many years wasted!

He currently works in computer security, defending the online world from crazed cultists everywhere.


Bret Kramer

awaiting picture!Bret Kramer (aka WinstonP) has been gaming for far too long, and claims that the first horror RPG he played was 'Pirates and Plunder' not so much for the game as the game's character generation rules.

A historian by training, he tends to favour elaborate game preparation and has been known to cackle with glee when putting together handouts.

He lives in St. Louis, Missouri with three sometimes lovely cats and his wife, who thankfully hasn't figured out she's far better than he deserves.


Paul Maclean

Paul MacleanPaul Maclean is an archaeologist, so has always known his career was in ruins from the start. Introduced to Call of Cthulhu at a far too impressionable an age, he sometimes wonders how much the game was to blame for choice of livelihood, luckily no tentacles encountered so far...

Previously somewhat itinerant, Paul has worked for the University Museum - University of Pennsylvania, Dept. Scientific Research at the British Museum, Dept. Archaeological Sciences - University of Bradford, The Council for British Archaeology, worked on underground Mayan Ruins in Copan and done research at a few nuclear reactors on the way.

He lives in sunny Bradford, West Yorkshire, in his first house (a high house on a hill) with his wife Helen, and now own a couple of cats, one of which has to live with the name 'Cathulhu'.



Lee Williams

Lee WilliamsLee was born at the end of his mother's fourth pregnancy, grew older and thus got be the age he is now. A lifelong oxygen breather, his passions are gaming and real ale and other fun stuff, but definitely NOT bloody soccer. When he can be bothered he does all kinds of things as long as they do not involve physical effort (well, most of them anyway). In recent years he has developed a taste for horror style games, as obviously all the best people seem to like them...like you lot for example. There again, it might be something to do with editing Demonground.

·  Who is Paul of Cthulhu?

The Yog-Sothoth.com site administrator is Paul Maclean, owner of a mildly interesting and varied career, but then again you may not find it that interesting or varied (see Contributor Biographies).

Paul of Cthulhu! Paul is a long time fan of the game, known for his particular gaming interests - so much so that his old friendly local games store (Playin' Games, opposite the British Museum) saved up various Cthulhiana with a little note behind the counter.

Hence 'Paul of Cthulhu' (PoC) which he sometimes uses as a pseudonym on various newsgroups and guestbooks.

·  Where is Yog-Sothoth.com based?
