On this episode of Under the Library, a Call of Cthulhu Podcast:

Colette drags Lancelot across the square to join Sam and Buddy. Sam shares both old and new maps of the town, looking for a reaction from Lancelot. Lloyd breaks into the conversation to share stories of “the beast of Bloodstone” and gruesome experiments in the hills.

Colette points out to Lancelot that in the process of expanding his garden, he has indeed left New Bloodstone. This inspires him to feel something new – curiosity – and his inquisitiveness prompts him to share knowledge of 12 significant points in town.

Sam, worried that Amos might feel sick after eating so much sugar, asks the town doctor for ipecac syrup and heads upstairs to his room. He finds the bed empty, and Amos, kneeling behind the bed, cocks a gun and levels it at Sam.

Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor. Our main storyline, a sandbox created by our Keeper (Michael), is set in (a fictitious) 1942 New Mexico and follows the misadventures of Collette (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Sister B (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on narrative, improv, and character building. We may stick our heads in front of a train because that’s what our character would do, and when we look under the bed even the Keeper may not know what we’ll find. We’re crafting a story, creating flawed characters, suspenseful events, and fulfilling revelations. Call of Cthulhu is a horror TTRPG; characters die horribly graphic deaths. It’s for mature audiences, but played by immature people. Find us at https://underthelibrary.com.
