It is September 1927, and our intrepid investigators are on a rescue mission for the Miskatonic University deep in the jungles of Veracruz.

 

This episode is sponsored by the Of Sorrow and Clay, by Graeme Patrick. Of Sorrow and Clay is a dark tale about family that takes you deep into the Appalachian Mountains of 1920s Kentucky in search for your old Pa. As his neighbor Jack puts it, “he says it was time to go see his wife, Sadie.” The only problem is she went missing decades earlier, and the old coot hasn’t been back in days. With hat in hand, Jack is begging you to put your squabbling aside and help him find your father before he does something he’ll regret in those dark, foreboding woods.

 

This character-driven story comes with five detailed Pre-gens to pick from, each with their

own secrets and grudges to keep. You may not like each other, but blood is blood, and it

runs deep in the black soils of the holler.

 

Ladened with moral choices, Of Sorrow and Clay offers plenty of role-playing opportunities

and is perfect for conventions running for 3 to 4 hours. It also offers a host of GM guidance

to help you wrangle the wayward Taft family.

In this episode, Jon and Seth talk about Actual Play Games -- how to make them, what traits they share with normal podcast recordings, and how they differ.

Episode Sponsor: The Great American Dynasty, by Keller O’Leary, published by Space Cat Publishing.

The Great American Dynasty is a true-blue, red-blooded, modern-day Call of Cthulhu scenario! Investigators are tasked with retrieving old files hidden in the home of a fellow “society” member who passed away from (seemingly) natural causes. The scenario blends iconic American folklore together with Lovecraftian Mythos to weave a story with roots long predating the founding of the American colonies. Can your investigators survive a terror that’s over 600 years in the making?

The Great American Dynasty is a three-part mystery filled with abductions, body horror, mutilations, and violence. Also, be on the lookout for Space Cat Publishing's next scenario, “The Curse of Punk,” where you explore the terrifying underbelly of punk society in the 1980s. Be sure to check out the link to The Great American Dynasty below.

In this episode, Jon and Seth discuss the epic awesomeness that is PULP CTHULHU!!! 

Dastardly villains and bold heroes! Investigate the Mythos with jet packs, telepathy, and tommy guns! Seth is well experienced in running Call of Cthulhu campaigns using the Pulp Cthulhu rules. The player's heroes are hardier and more apt to survive their brushes with the horrors. While Jon has almost zero experience with Pulp Cthulhu. Listen in as Jon sits at the feet of the wizened master, Seth, to learn the secrets of Pulp Cthulhu!

 

SHOW SPONSOR:

Jolene, by Rina Haenze. Jolene is a modern day scenario intended to be completed in a single four-hour session of play. The investigators have been drawn to Santa Cruz, California, to help a love-lorn woman. She was spurned by her lover when a mysterious woman, Jolene, stole him from her. The investigators soon learn that this is not an isolated incident.

Be warned, this scenario contains depictions of mental illness, addictions, drug use, homelessness, strong emotional trauma, potential drowning, body horror, death, potential homicide, PTSD, and potential player-vs-player action. Jolene includes four pre-generated investigators and a custom Bout of Madness table for this scenario set in 2019.

The author, Rina Haenze, also includes tips on how this scenario can be run more intimately, with greater potential for true horror, as a one-on-one game – one Keeper and one player. Jolene is available now on DriveThruRPG for only $6.
