Description
We are an actual play podcast using the TTRPG systemAltered developed by me, Brendan Oak over the last three years. While not published yet we have decided to record our play testing using The Edge of Madness Scenario Setting which takes place in the human dimension from 1910-2020. This Scenario setting uses strong themes of Eldritch Horror taking inspiration from the names of Lovecraft, David Wong, Johnathan Simms and many, many more. Currently we are playing the first written campaign for the setting ”Days Past” an adventure through the 1940’s midwest and beyond. Join our intrepid heroes Raymond Wright, Cooper O. Barret, John Umbrelevare as they attempt to best the things beyond their comprehension and perhaps your own.
