Fresh Despatch
A parcel this cycle, and heavier than it needed to be. There were standing instructions at the door that no further boxes of this particular kind be accepted — and the archivist signed for one himself, at the counter, on the grounds that it was bought at retail and therefore did not count.
Newly arrived:
- Cthulhu Death May Die: 2026 Revisit and a Look at Season 4 (review) — a pyramid, three pieces of a staff, and investigators who grow deadlier the nearer they come to dying.
From the deeper stacks — the same table, earlier verdicts:
- Cthulhu: Death May Die - Review (unboxing and reboxing) — the Wild Bunch against the Elder Gods, and an insert that lets you shut the box for a whole game.
- Returning to Cthulhu: Death May Die - An Insanely Good Game — Hastur loose in a casino, and a Great Old One who arrives with no lore attached to him.
- How I deal with FOMO, and why I am not backing the new Cthulhu Death May Die campaign — four years ago he asked for small-box expansions instead; this week he asks again.
Planned excavations resume next cycle.

Observes that a man who measures his collection in shelf space keeps buying the one game whose chief flaw is the volume of its plastic, and would trade the whole shelf for cardboard discs tomorrow.
