Call of Cthulhu – The Haunting Session 02: Deeper Mysteries

After witnessing the horrors inside the Corbitt House, the investigators return to Boston seeking answers. Hospital records, archived newspapers, and cult whispers begin to connect the dots between a reclusive tenant and a series of occult murders. Their research leads toward the Chapel of Contemplation and the promise of truth—but no one emerges from that place unchanged. The mystery deepens in part two of RPGMP3’s Halloween 2025 Special.

Call of Cthulhu – The Haunting Session 01: Defenestration

Boston, 1920.

A team of unlikely investigators accepts a landlord’s plea to check on the infamous Corbitt House—a property whispered to be cursed after decades of strange accidents and disappearances. Inside, they find rooms that breathe, shadows that move, and one very unfortunate window. This is the first session of The Haunting, one of the most iconic Call of Cthulhu scenarios ever written, brought to life for RPGMP3’s Halloween 2025 Special.

2021 Christmas Special: How The Lich Stole Christmas

RPGMP3 is pleased to present our 2021 Christmas Special. This year we are playing How The Lich Stole Christmas for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition by Wizard Sleeve Studios.

A party of inexperienced adventurers is traveling through the mountains when they encounter a depressed village where all the children have been stolen by a terrible Lich hiding in a nearby cave. Will the party agree to save the children and what festive horrors will they encounter on the way? Only time will tell.

Leah – Barbarian

Nick – Rogue

Becca – Bard

Tim – Wizard

Christmas Special 2018: Everyone Loves Stan

Merry Christmas! This is a one-shot game that uses the My Life With Master system from Half Meme Press. In this seasonal adaptation, a group of downtrodden elves must help a miserable Santa try to get his wife back before he spirals any further out of control.

This one has some pretty naughty language and some naughty themes, most likely. And as a side note, I was going to call this something clever, but in the end, Everyone Loves Stan!

Starring:

A group of random people are invited to a desolate island to explore and win a prize. What they find is that they are human prey in a terrible game of murder. This one is probably worth watching on video, or at least skipping through 🙂
