This week I thought I’d do something a little bit different. For those of you not aware of it, I was commissioned to write a graphic novel for the “All Flesh Must Be Eaten RPG” by Eden Studios. You may also know them as the writers of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG to boot.…

And it’s another Monday here at Insidepulse.com. This week I’m not doing reader requests if only because I’m celebrating getting back books, texts, and tomes I’ve been missing for 21 months. There’ve been a lot of essays and topics I’ve wanted to cover, but was lacking the needed resources to do it. But now that…

Another week begins here at Inside Pulse. Hard to believe we’re a month into 2005, but in fact, we are. Let’s take a look at a letter that continues the discussion from last week, shall we? Hello Alex, Thanks for answering my question about Aliester Crowley. I didn’t know you hated him so much. Sorry…

It looks like everyone is recovering from a massive snowfall this weekend. Hopefully you were all someplace warm or enjoyed the winter for a scant amount of time so that hypothermia didn’t set it. Let’s get to the questions. Hello Alex, Do you have any information about this man: Aleister Crowley? Anything on his life,…

Okay, kind of a busy week as I’m doing some stuff for Games behind the scenes, but of course I had to make room for Nyogtha. Even on weeks where I want to slack, I like knowing I’m the only guy who hasn’t missed a Daily Pulse yet. ;p Let’s do letters first. Alex, Just…

There’s no real essays or anything this week. Due to some massive time constraints, this is going to have to be primarily a mailbag. Thanks for the quick response. I will be sure to check out a few of those books. I received some Bukowski, Kafka, a book about Cesar Chavez, and a book about…

Okay! We’re back with a normal issue of Nyogtha. No travelogues, just your questions and my answers about things that go bump in the night. Hey Mr. Lucard. I finally read one of your columns yesterday thanks to a link in Eric and Gloomchen’s columns. After reading that Dagon argument thread, I think you are…

Unlike most of my columns which take an entire week to write due to researching musty old tomes, going through notes and papers I wrote long ago, and getting distracted by IM conversations, this is one I’m writing on the fly. Actually I am writing it a few miles above the ground while I fly…

Well, last weeks column got a ton of responses. So I’m going to do my best to answer as many letters as I can this column. Note that eventually ALL your letters will be answered. If you write me, I will answer it. It may just take a while for them to appear in the…

Back from Australia! I have to admit, the last three weeks of my life have been insane, with this last week being the most chaotic in my entire life. Every aspect of my existence has been turned upside down. If you want to read about it, you can always go to my blog and read…

Well, this will be my last column for a while. I’ll be in Australia from November 20th until December 5th, and that means my next Nyogtha will be December 13th. I’m sure Widro will find someone to fill in during those three weeks I won’t be babbling about monsters and Things That Should Not Be.…

Amazingly sick this week, but no virus can keep me from dealing out a column for you. On the fan forums, both Shinmeko and Padawan asked me to talk about the Fae. So let’s just get into a very abridged history of the Fairy Folk. I should bring up first and foremost, that like vampires,…

It’s official. No more Retrograding. No more Daily Pulse. Just straight out commentary on mysteries, legends, secrets, myths, and folklore from around the world. For those of you new to this, I did something very similar from October 1997 to Dec 2000, then I stopped for a few months for various reasons, started again for…
