Miskatonic Monday #100: return to Cthulhu Ireland, a realm steeped in the old ways...
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 23rd Dec 2024
When we retired the Monograph series several years ago we invited all those who had created in it to republish their work in the Miskatonic Repository. And so we are delighted to see another monograph title return: the old Mysteries of Ireland is back as Cthulhu Ireland: 1920s Horror Roleplaying on the Isle of the Fey. Author Colin Dunlop has masterfully updated this 1920s era sourcebook with new content, layout, and art. And in addition to the exploration of Irish myth, history, culture, history, the book also contains five scenarios!
Scratch just beneath the surface of 1920s Ireland, remove the thin veneer of religion, science and modern reason and you will find a realm steeped in the old ways...

This mini-expansion is a collection of spells previously published in various releases from the Zgrozy series. What they have in common is that each of them changes people drastically, and usually permanently. At Zgrozy, we are very fascinated by how the terror of the Cthulhu Mythos permanently transforms people, and we were amazed to realize that the spells that allow such transformation described in our supplements are numerous enough to be a good material for a short compilation.
