The Apocalypse Players

In which the scat hits the fan, and things get really weird...

Dead Light is a Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Alan Bligh.

(A special video version of this episode is available on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@apocplayers)

Cast:

Ignatius ‘Iggy’ Sugar – Dan Wheeler

Vincent Julius – Joseph Chance

‘Big’ Charlie Pope – Danann McAleer

Keeper of Arcane Lore ­– Dominic Allen

With very special thanks to John Pope for supplying additional bass riffs for this scenario.

CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. Human discretion is advised.

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

In which the trio attempt to make a swift exit. Iggy's compulsion is aggravated, Vince tries to get a date, Charlie meets his match, and a new tagline for the Apocalypse Players is coined.

APOCTOBERFEST one-day convention @ Wiper & True Taproom

Sun 20th October 10am–7pm, Book: https://hdfst.uk/e114952

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
