This is a short introduction to an equally short supplement for Call of Cthulhu I released a day or so ago, Memorable Major Wounds - Critical Tables and Expanded Injuries.

Why is the buzzword for 2022 “retention marketing”? How is the play-to-earn model going to grow next year?Cross promotions are on the rise. Will the move to self-publishing be worth it?We are here with the final episode of the Mobile Growth Crystal Ball series. Today we have Peggy Anne Salz (Mobile Groove) going into retention marketing, Keith Kawahata (AppLovin) who tells us about the play-to-earn model in games, Cameron Thom (Adikteev) who shares his thoughts on cross promotion and Jon Hook (BoomHits) bringing to the table his take on developers self-publishing their games.KEY HIGHLIGHTS
St. Nick brings us a surprise, as we are visited by RPG writer/artist Jon Hook just in time to talk about holiday gaming. We get a chance to interview him about his writing for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, Goodman Games, as well as his work for Frog God Games-including the infamous, "Orcus on 34th Level." In the This Ol' Dungeon Segment we transform a D6 Star Wars adventure into a palatable version of the Holiday Special, get turned on to a lesser known Classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure that is ripe for winter festivities, and hear about a half-dozen adventures that make brilliant use of the origins of holidays such as Valentine's Day, Arbor Day, and even Independence Day...
Our guest today is Jon Hook. Jon is the CEO at BoomHits, a mobile game publisher with many hits in the hypercasual and idle genres. In today's episode, Jon tells us about how the hypercasual genre has evolved to the point where it's approaching saturation in the form that it currently is - and outlines the next stage of its evolution - hybrid casual. Our conversation flows around the new dynamics involved in monetization, game design, unit economics, hiring, publishing, and much more in all things hybrid. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in moving to hybrid games and also to those that are currently working within the genre.KEY HIGHLIGHTS

This episode is our 2019 NecronmiCon live show in Providence, when The Miskatonic University Podcast and The Good Friends of Jackson Elias girded for a battle royale that will pit Host vs. Host in a “lightning debate” format over a passel of divisive topics. Hosts: Charles "Keeper Chad" Gerard, Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, Jon Hook, Brian “Murph” Murphy, and Matt Sanderson. This episode was recorded on August 23, 2019. WARNING: This episode contains explicit language, and nothing was bleeped. Discord server invite link >> Topics MUP and the Good Friends of Jackson Elias convened at NecronomiCon in Providence on August 23, 2019 for the second combined live show after the inaugural in 2017. We decided to try a "lightning debate" format, and after gathering suggestions from listeners and brainstorming for a few weeks, landed on some very silly prompts to tussle over. Sadly, Keeper Dan was not present. But stay tuned for a rousing audience-generated "thank you" to the MUP mastermind.

If you're a hyper casual games developer, you have reason to celebrate. You're in a market that is seeing eye-watering growth and raking in cash thanks to an ad-supported model that ticks all the boxes. But winning is about selecting the right publisher--one who is with you for the journey and has the resources to take your game to new heights. Our host Peggy Anne Salz catches up with Jon Hook, CRO at Homa Games, a company helping mobile game developers grow their apps from scratch to millions of users. Jon shares a checklist to help you find the right partner and talks about the even bigger challenge ahead: producing simple games that can send retention through the roof.

Join Stephen, Jon Hook, and myself, as we go in depth on the first six issues of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense 39 - 44. In this episode we break the issues down with a synopsis of the story, and the folks involved in creating that particular issue. We discuss what else was going on in the Marvel universe at the time, and the good and bad things that make the issue what it is. Our friends Michael and Shane at the Comic Book Cast were actually two weeks ahead of us in posting a very similar series of shows featuring the Avengers. Please check them out, I found them very entertaining! Marvel, Month by Month is the website that we've been using to help gather information as to what's been going on in the Marvel Universe. And of course, no comics research project would be complete without information from the wonderful Grand Comic Book Database. Join us next week on KK 92 when Lyle, Van, and I, tackle the second batch of Thor stories from Journey Into Mystery 89 - 94. Please comment at our KomicsKast forums graciously supplied by the folks at Comic Geek Speak.
Stephen, Jon Hook and I share our BOP's (the bottom of our piles). In fact, while we're at it, we share the whole pile! Jon tells us what a Ventric Vesel is!
So you think that you know who Nightwing is, eh? Jon Hook joins me to discuss the original Silver Age Nightwing, and his partner Flamebird. We recount the first appearance and then advise you as to where you can find that story, and the subsuquent appearances of the Dynamic Duo of Kandor! Curiously, we've been talking about doing this episode for some time now, and I'm beginning to wonder if DC has my computer tapped, because this week you can pick up a traded edition of the stories of the Bottle City of Kandor. http://www.dccomics.com/graphic_novels/?gn=8005
Jon Hook and Derek Coward (Comic Book Noise Network) join me (Bruce Rosenberger),in discussing the recent BBC show Jekyll. We also discuss our BOPs (the bottom of our piles) for the week. Derek explains the Noisey Awards in detail. Learn how you can be involved in the nomination process!
I'm trying something new - minimal editing, which means that I can post a complete show the same day it's recorded (most of the editing that I do by the way, is to take out heavy breathing, lip smacks, mic clunks, and when we talk over each other). My feeling is that if I do this, it we leave me more time to research and produce some of my signature segments like Silver Age Goodness, and The Funnypapers. Like I say, it's a test and we'd appreciate your feedback. Joining us this show is Jon Hook whom you may know from his Great Comic Books segments on SciFiDig. Most of the show is Bottom of the Pile this time since Jon had a big pile of new comics this week.
This week we discuss 35 years of changes in comic books. Around Comics welcomes Bob Bretall to the panel to talk about comic distribution, writing styles, the internet, conventions and more. Wire2Wire news and Top of the Stack return with a Giant Sized Bonus comic book review and recommendation segment. Remember to listen in as we unveil our July contest.
