Sing a song of geekery,
A pocket full of die
Imaginations running wild
There’s nothing we won’t try..
(Sung like Sing a Song of Sixpence)
Geeky nursery rhymes. Something I never knew I always wanted. Seriously, check out more about this super creative project after the jump.

KICKSTARTER: Storyteller Cards
Everyone has a creative endeavor of some sort, and everyone gets writer’s block on occasion, no matter how good they are. How would you like a simple, randomized way of helping to get past that block, whatever you may be doing? If you’d like that, then take the jump and find out what it is.
KICKSTARTER: Nerd’s Domain presents Masks of Nyarlathotep
You all enjoy a good live-play podcast right? What am I saying? Of course you do. Why else would you be listening to me on Critical HIt? Well, since we know you enjoy this type of thing, we here at Major Spoilers felt we should point out a way you can help in getting another one going.
Nerd’s Domain is a group of people quite like what we have here. When I went to GenCon last summer, one of the more fulfilling and entertaining things I did there was meet Matt Quiett, the man in charge over there, and a number of the other people that are going to be doing this podcast (I’m really bad with names sometimes, so I apologize for not knowing which). They are a fun group of people with the gaming experience needed to create something awesome. As well as being a likable group, they are going to be running in the Call of Cthulu 6th Edition and (at least initially) will be running the adventure Masks of Nyarlathotep, allowing you all to see something truly different from what we do here.
So take a look at what they’re doing over on Kickstarter and see if you can’t help get another good live-play going.
