Cthulhu on Parade!

Yes, the rumours were true! Two weeks ago, the Wretched Beast, Stephen, and their friends (of the show) Will M, JJ Hawkins (@JJHawkins on Twitter) and Aaron Fever (@AaronFever) joined together with a dark purpose: to play the roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu. In this session, we attend an auction, and board a train! Featuring: The Wretched Beast as Games Master Stephen as Beauford Loren-Smith, hot-blooded dilettante. Aaron Fever as Arthur Francis Allen, grumpy scholar of the occult. JJ Hawkins as Rebecca Church, stoic private investigator. Will M as Ingrid Hamm, artist with shady connections.

Join us in fright this Hallowe'en season as we take our first foray into the terrifying depths of an unfamiliar RPG system - Trail of Cthulhu! Specifically, with the scenario "Dr. Grave Dust" from the book Shadows Over Filmland. I was a little tired when running this one. Are the results too on-rails, or simply off the rails? You decide! Also, Al (@PrimitiveManPrd) from The Film Room Podcast (@FilmRoomCast) was on this episode! We literally immediately spoil last Halloween's Wrong Turn/Guestpocalypse episodes, so uh, watch out for that. Part two coming soon! Featuring: Will B as Game Master Al as Sebastian Church, debonair gentleman thief with an eye for adventure. Sam as Sylvia Paris, armed and extremely dangerous private eye. Stephen as Dr. Alex Laborie, a distinguished man of medicine. Will M as Daphne "Igor" Valentino, author of a cult hit series of novels.

It's grim up north as we brave the fierce colds, biting winds and salty sea air to fetch you another exciting episode of Cthulhu on Parade! This time, we played the Fiasco playset known as "Last Frontier" (available here: http://fiascoplaysets.com/home/last-frontier). It was a good time! For reference, "Trent Reznor" is a musician from the band "Nine Inch Nails". Thanks. Featuring: Will M as Daryl Stogely, a mysterious yet ornery hermit and man of the sea. Will B as Jack Bowwer, member of the boat crew cursed with terrible gifts. Sam as Karen, member of the boat crew emerging from the wreckage of a failed relationship. Plus, some other characters!

A scant ten months (or so) since our last adventure, we're back with an all-new Fiasco episode! It's trouble by the Thames as we play "Gangster London" (available here: http://bullypulpitgames.com/fiasco-companion-gangster-london-writers-edition/). In this episode, we push timeline stability to the limit, and do a bunch of accents of varying quality, including several celebrity voices! Can -you- tell who we're trying to be, or what we're trying to say? Good luck, and enjoy! Featuring: Will B as Gary Nichols, loving husband and secretive businessman. Also, Ace Wellman - and more! Stephen as Jonathan Wellman, a sous-chef with a troubled family. Also, Liz "Leslie" Nichols - and more! Will M as Neville Wilkinson, ambitious restaurant pioneer with a dark secret. Also, Ace Wellman (same one) - and more! Just how many more? Listen to find out! Theme music: Coffee Shop (David Szesztay) / CC BY-NC 3.0
