The Apocalypse Players

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...   Cast:   Dr. Henry Carraig-Muir - Joseph Chance   Rev. Perregrine McCutcheon - Dan Wheeler   Lady Helen Marjorie Bjarmia Potts - Dominic Allen   Keeper of Arcane Lore - Danann McAleer   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. 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.
