The Apocalypse Players

Author: The Apocalypse Players

A Call of Cthulhu actual play podcast. Dice-driven cosmic horrors supplied by Dominic Allen, Joseph Chance, Danann McAleer and guests. --- 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 to eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome. Join here: discord.com/invite/kRQ62t6SjH

In which matters progress further in the SOUTH facing garden; that which is dead evidently does not lie down; Redmark gets The Fear; Tatler circumnavigates, while Davenant, Philips, Arundel and Blake form quite the quartet of enquiry around a tether and a mass of most unusual provenance… A modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Joseph Chance Cast: Josephine Arundel & Felicity Blake – Belinda Cornish Chris Caldwell & Jonathan Tatler – Dan Wheeler Max Davenant & Tam Philips – Danann McAleer Charlie Westenra & Luther Eliot Redmark – Dominic Allen Keeper of Arcane Lore – Joseph Chance CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. This episode contains the repeated sound of sexual intimacy as well as abstract description of the points of a compass. As ever, human discretion is advised.
