Originally this group was centered on horror but as time went on it seemed right to include both mystery and science fiction. There's this misconception that horror movies are only effective if they have a certain level of violence or gore, similar to what you might find with the Saw franchise. Films such as the Blair Witch Project, The Others and Paranormal Activity however, prove otherwise. When the audience has to conjure their own interpretation to an event based on what's implied or not vis …

… We'll alternate between going out to see new horror flicks, bands playing close by that we might be into, and comic-book discussion groups where we'll all pick up a couple of designated books and talk about them and how cool they are or how hard they blow. The NYCCC or horror cons like Chiller Theatre are also fair game when the time rolls around.  I'd also like to work in some animal advocacy, like going to demos, letter-writing or email campaign involvement, and maybe even leafletting. Initial …

… just to name a few- sports, racers, puzzles, fighters, horror and everything else.  As long as you like to keep an open mind and a consideration for fans of other games, you are welcome here. Hopefully we can grow to be a big enough group so that whatever game you may play...chances are someone else plays it too. We'll meet at least once a month for drinks and to get to know each other in the real world. If I (or a fellow member) can get a bar to let us bring a console or two we can have ourselv …

… This is a Lovecraftian based world which loosely hints at the Mythos recognized and readers by fans – specifically the Dream Cycle… The setting incorporates both Pulp (Gumshoe derived theme) and Purist styles – a balanced approached has been taken, both of which are described in detail below: Purist The Purist style aims at intellectual horror and cosmic dread, detailing ordinary people’s futile struggle against the Cthulhu Mythos. Death and (more importantly) insanity are not only constant thr …

Do you have more board games than friends to play them with?  Me too.  Let's get together.

New York, the city that never sleeps. An Ivory Tower. A cesspool. Both Babylon and Bohemia. Home to those who call themselves Sabbat. Denizens of the night, they cry to defy the tyrannous stars and slake their thirst upon those who would see them kneel. Still, they stand at a precipice of inevitability. Can the children of Caine stay united in their holy war, or will they fall upon themselves once more? Only time will tell, and the end of days grows closer with each passing night...   Kings of N …
