Nyogtha: Special Halloween Edition
Happy Halloween guys. As is the nature of the holiday, I’ve resurrected The Thing That Should Not Be, for this one shot. As I’m about to review three horror games back to back, it only seemed appropriate. What follows are fourteen pages of your favorite articles from the archives of Nyogtha, the longest running column [...]
Various Artists - Cyberdog Vol 4: Psy-Fi Systems Review
Although this is the fourth volume put out by Cyberdog (Released March 11th), it is their Psy trance compilation. Before hand the other volumes have been Electronica and Cybergoth. This was kind of an surprising choice when I first heard about the genre choice, even since the inception of this genre in the early 1990’s, [...]
Nyogtha Volume II, Issue XLIX
Short column this week, as I’m writing this from my hotel in Chicago. I’ve been on a business trip since Wednesday and I’m using my only real free time to write this. But then, with Version 2.0 coming to a close, I need to be able to say I’m the only staffer to have never [...]
Nyogtha Volume II, Issue XLVIII
There will be two issues of Nyogtha next week. Issue 49 hits as part of a preview of the upcoming Beyond the Threshold. Issue 50 will be the last piece of the culture section. There were 35 issues of volume I, plus the three into Daily Pulse columns Nyogtha debuted under. This puts us at [...]

Folklore
One of the most famous cases in undead folklore is that or Arnod Paole. It happened approximately 300 years ago and shows that even as America was starting to strongly considering dumping British tea into the ocean and becoming its own nation, that on the other side of the planet, vampires were still not considered [...]
Nyogtha Volume II, Issue XLVI
Can you believe we’ve been doing Nyogtha for two years now? Generally when I write anything for over two years, I get royally sick of it, ala Retrograding, but so far this isn’t the case here.
This week I thought I’d focus a bit on food folklore. Even thought I don’t drink, I realize most [...]
Nyogtha Volume II. Issue XLV
Odd week for me as we had a flood here in Minneapolis and my car took some damage. I spent most of the week worried that the ol’ Pikachu Beetle would be totaled, but thankfully due to speed and care on my part, the only thing needed was a tranny flush and some upholstery [...]

Folklore
Reader Mail query:
On an unrelated topic I’ve recently gotten into the D&D parody comic The Order of the Stick. The main bad guy is a lich, a term I’ve encountered a few times in games like Nethack. It made me wonder, is there any historical/mythological basis for liches beyond their inclusion in the Monster Manual?
Thanks,
Kyle [...]
Nyogtha Volume II, Issue XLIII
You know this was one of those weeks where I just couldn’t think of what to write. It was the first time since August ‘04 I didn’t have a request for a particular topic for Nyogtha and my brain was empty of ideas I thought readers would enjoy. Originally I had planned to discuss anti-matter, [...]
Nyogtha Volume II, Issue XLII
You know, over the past few months I’ve received several email about the movie “An American Haunting,” asking me if it really is based on a true story, or much like the Amityville Horror, was based on a true HOAX. I could have sworn I had done a column on the Bell Witch long before [...]
