Q and A with the MU Skulls
Q- Are the rumors true that Mike is has crossed over?
-Sleepless in Scranton
A- That's a tough question. I haven't had any contact from Mike in sometime but I haven't seen his name appear in the
obituaries either. At this point I think we all just need to keep hope alive....
- MU Skulls Frank
Update 10-30-2011 Mike is alive!

Q- I'm still on the fence about the new Keeper Screen. Should I buy it?
-Tentative Guy
A- Run, don't walk, to the nearest computer or game store and make sure you get one before they are all gone! This screen
is the best GM screen I've ever seen. I'm not sure who did the layout or who was in charge of choosing the information to
be contained on the screen but I'd buy that guy a beer.

Q- I see that the MU Skulls are a Premier Event Group again. Doesn't that just prove that you're a shill for the suits and not
the edgy cultists everyone thinks you are, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
-Dirty Hippie
A- The MU Skulls won't rest until every dirty hippie mind has been blown beyond the planet Yuggoth into the swirling atomic
chaos idiot god at the center of the universe where their lost being will be devoured in vileness and mind destroying horror.
How's that for edgy?

Q- Frank you really seem like you love Call of Cthulhu, how long have you been playing?
- Curious Dave
A- Well Dave, before the game was released in 1981, I was an avid fan of Lovecraft fiction. I started working in the Game
Section of a hobby store when I was 16 years old and bought the game in 1985. I've played and owned every edition of Call
of Cthulhu.

Q- What does MU in the MU Skulls stand for?
- Bored 2 Deth
A- Well Bored, MU refers to the lost continent in the Pacific as suggested by James Churchward.
- MU Skulls David
Q- Wha??? That doesn't make sense though does it? What does have MU have to do with Skulls then?
A- Well, those people would be dead wouldn't they? Therefore, skulls.
Q- It would just make more sense if it stood for Miskatonic University Skulls, like if it was a secret club
or something.
A- I can't change what your perception is, all I can tell you is that it's related to a Japanese word alleged to
mean “Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions”
Q- Oh, I get it. You're a jerk and you're not going to tell me.
A- I know you are but what am I?
Q- Nice, now we're in third grade. I thought you were professionals?
A- thpptthhhpptthpptffthhpppt

Q- I really love the way Mike's games are character centric. He really also seems to put the characters and players first. The
way he describes the gaming environment is amazing. Why can't all Gen Con GMs have the same skills? Maybe he could
teach a class?
- Big Fan
A- Next Question.
- MU Skulls Frank

Q- Frank, who is your favorite game company?
- Phil M.
A- It has to be Chaosium. I've known them for over ten years now and they are a group of guys that love the hobby and love
their game. Those that know them well understand it's not about soulless profit for them it's about telling a great story with a
group of friends. If you take the time to start running games for them, you are doing it out of friendship and because you like
the game. They understand and appreciate that when very few other companies do these days.

Q- Is it true that David Durden once killed a man just for snoring?
- Madness Survivor
A- Madness, that was old west gun fighter John Wesley Harden, not David Durden.

Q- Frank, how can you be Gen Con's youngest GM if you've been playing Call of Cthulhu since first edition?
