In which our walking party feel sure they are encountering still stranger things: freak weather, sheltered defiles, terms of magic and perhaps that most horrible of imaginings: an immersive theatrical experience…
A modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Joseph Chance
Cast: Josephine Arundel – Belinda Cornish Chris Caldwell – Dan Wheeler Max Davenant – Danann McAleer Charlie Westenra – Dominic Allen Keeper of Arcane Lore – Joseph Chance
CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. PLEASE BE AWARE - This episode contains the sound effect of a small child crying and description of threat to a child that some may find distressing. As ever, human discretion is advised.
A Note on the Recording: This episode includes reference to a large and very successful British high-street pharmacy called Boots. It was common practice in the late 20th Century to develop one’s photographs at Boots, often handing one’s film to young female employees for the task. The equivalent in America might perhaps be CVS or Walgreens. In Japan, Yodobashi Camera would have served, Germany it would have been Rossman’s. France of course favoured independent practitioners of the art. As ever, here at the Apocalypse Players, we advise that you use human discretion wherever you develop your photographs - be it at a high-street chain or in that little wooden cabin with the yellow front door, at the end of the lane where the marsh meets the sky…
The Apocalypse Players is an actual play (or live play) TTRPG podcast focused on horror tabletop roleplaying games. Think Dimension 20 or Critical Role, but fewer dragons, more eldritch horrors, and more British actors taking their roleplaying very seriously (most of the time). We primarily play the Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu, but have also been known to dabble with other systems, most of which can be found on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/apocalypseplayers We now have a free Discord server where you can come and worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will be only too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices - oops - we mean players are always welcome. Join here: discord.com/invite/kRQ62t6SjH For more information and to get in touch, visit www.apocalypseplayers.com
