Updates for 3/12/26

 I've decided to post an update on current things happening in the background.

Website

I've added a 'shop' which, for now, just has the listings for M Presents Publishing books purchased directy from Ingram Spark. This means that the books can be purchased at a discount as the nesed to pay additional merchant fees is unnecessary. If you choose, you can purchase the book through a different distributor (links to each are on the right).

Additional merchandise will also become available, but for now this is all that the page features.

Call of Cthulhu Actual Play

We have finished recording Beyond the Mountains of Madness and we've begun Inversion, there is one more BTMoM video to be uploaded. There is a Call of Cthulhu actual play currently awaiting editing. Subscribe to the YouTube page and you'll be notified of all uploads.

Untitled Michael Bertolini publications

I have finished the first draft of a few projects, namely a book tentatively titled The Source which will be a thriller novel, and a Miskatonic Repository Publication for Call of Cthulhu 7e titled Destroyer of Worlds. I'm also working on a short game for Pocketquest 2026. I've also been slowly working on a few other things, but I'm not going to go into detail about them at this time.

Book of Madness

I was sick so Book of Madness had a slower start than I'd have liked, but it's progressing.

On this day...

 From cosmic horror monthly...

On February 26, 1918, science fiction legend Theodore Sturgeon was born. While not the most famous name in sci-fi, Sturgeon is one of those authors who is ‘your favorite writer’s favorite writer.’ His novel More Than Human is a masterpiece of the genre, the tale of six separate individuals who blend their minds together into a gestalt consciousness, the step forward in human evolution. It’s a real mind bender that we can’t recommend enough. Sturgeon also wrote hundreds of fiction reviews as well as multiple episodes of the original Star Trek series.

Behind the scenes...

People sometimes ask what we discuss before recording the game sessions. While everyone is double-checking their audio, using the bathroom once more before a 2 hour session, we talk about anything but the game. There's no reviewing what happened (I'll answer questions but that's about it). As we're from all over the world, we talk about events that impact us... such as the hording of toilet paper.
