Every 2 weeks we'll be bringing you, in collaboration with other podcasts, some of our favourite shows that we hope you'll all enjoy. To kick things off we are teaming up with Josh over at The Eldritch Hour.
The Eldritch Hour is a horror themed, tabletop roleplay actual play podcast with a strong focus on lovecraftian and cosmic horror. The show maintains a style of slow burn tension, mystery, and atmosphere, complimented by original music. With a regular returning cast of enthusiastic players, the characters are also rich and developed. While the main game system used is Call of Cthulhu 7e, the show will explore other horror rpgs in the future. The show's first story, titled "The Star On The Shore," is a 36 episode mystery surrounding an astronomer, an antiquarian, a soldier-turned-private-detective, and a student with a secret family history as they travel to a foggy coastal town in New England in search of a rare and esoteric missing statue. The Eldritch Hour is hosted, produced, edited, and contains music and art made by Josh Richter.
You can find Josh, and the lovely cast of players on Twitter @theeldritchhour or their website at www.theeldritchhour.com. They also have a Patreon and merch store, links for which are on their social media. So check 'em out and let them know we sent you!
