The Apocalypse Players

In which our intrepid investigators go gorse mad, enter into a copse of trees and face death itself - via stars not fit to look upon.

A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer. Episodes released weekly.

Cast:

Dr. Henry Carraig-Muir - Joseph Chance

Rev. Peregrine McCutcheon - Dan Wheeler

Lady Helen Marjorie Bjarmia Potts - Dominic Allen

 Keeper of the Arcane Law - Danann McAleer

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 worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will only be too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome. Join here: discord.com/invite/kRQ62t6SjH

"​Edward Elgar conducts the trio of his Pomp and Circumstance March no.1 [to the LSO] at the opening of the Abbey Road Studios, London, on November 12 1931. His words, spoken to the orchestra at the beginning of this short film clip, are as follows: Good morning gentlemen. [very] Glad to see you all. Very light programme this morning. Please play this tune as though you've never heard it before. "

In which our investigators reach the moors and face the inevitable challenges that come with a transition from the urban to the untamed, where the past makes itself present via ancient myths and newly glimpsed horizons.

In which our investigators - and players - take stock across time and space, attempting to comprehend potencies and plots greater than themselves, including the revision of missing moments, resulting in a return from the meta-table to the Whitby Abbey camp, even finding a dash of hard won clarity to accompany the ongoing mystery...

CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. Human discretion is advised. This episode also contains more meta chat than is normally safe to attempt in an Actual Play Podcast and has been edited to include naturalistic, around the game table moments, terrifying for their realism - from the 23 minute mark up to the 50 minute mark. Those averse to the sound of gamers speaking with their mouths full and theorising without careful reference to notes or documents should be warned.

In which two men in a smoking-room are talking of their their private school days…

(This episode is meant as a classic ghost story in many ways, but one which adds directly to the narrative of An Uncommon Burial - and which also acts as a form of "recap" for the previous connected scenarios 'A Christmas Inheritance', & 'A Residence at The Bay' [along with the already published first section of this scenario], so... SPOILERS, I guess)

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 worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will only be too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome. Join here: discord.com/invite/kRQ62t6SjH

…or ‘A Tale of Two Stones and Two Lights.’

The Company of the Light uses the Vaesen roleplaying system, by Free League Publishing and based an original concept by Johan Egerkrans. The mystery at the heart of the scenario is taken from Mythic Britain and Ireland by Graeme Davis. The name of that scenario (which may contain a mild spoiler) can be found below the music section of these notes.

(MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW): The mystery at the heart of this story is premised upon the disappearance and death of a young woman. However, with the exception of one moment (which I will flag when it arrives), this is not dwelt on in any great detail, and please note for avoidance of doubt this is NOT sexual violence or self-harm. Human discretion is advised.

I have chosen not to include the name of the mystery at the heart of this scenario in the spoken introduction, as I consider it to be a potential spoiler for the story. But for completists and searchability I include it here: It is called Old Meg.
