In which more conspiratorial words are whispered and a chief suspect is collared. The investigators end the evening back where they began; there, cards are laid on the table, and terrible decisions are made based on an impossible non-euclidean venn diagram of character motivations and player availabilities. (Stick with it guys, I promise it'll be worth it...)   A Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Matthe...

In which the party is reunited briefly, before those pesky gendarmes turn up and separate them again—and also force the players to remember what happened over the previous two sessions. Perhaps think of it as a mid-scenario recap? We certainly used it as such…   A Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Matthew Sanderson, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. Episodes...

...or, ‘A Belle Époque Around.’   In which the listener discovers what deception and subterfuge Jane and Benoit have been engaging in back at the party, in the meantime.   A Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Matthew Sanderson, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson.

In which our investigators start as they mean to go on: by mixing their drinks. Absinthe, crème de menthe, champagne, cheap table wine…what could possibly go wrong? A Call of Cthulhu Scenario set in Paris, France, by Matthew Sanderson, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. Episodes released weekly.   Scene 1: The Absinthe Drinker, Manet Scene 2: Street Sce...

In which our plucky investigators at last reunite, albeit in a considerable two part structure. The past returns in technicolour and connectivity and communication are rewarded in unexpected fashion. The Thirteen inevitably regather to face their sins and their futures and everything looks likely to come down to just one or two moments, beneath those East Anglian stars… A modern era Call of Cthulh...

In which Alicia, Erik, Ray and David make good progress in trying to catch up with Mel, whose investigations of the Seance Table have proved more challenging than expected. All routes lead to Mari’s house, but time seems to be slipping away from our investigators - and with it, a certainty of just what to do about the Moonchild…   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Namele...

In which our alumni friends and guests at David Barber’s town house make a discovery of witches, pursue academic understanding of monsters (and their kind) and make some observations on sheep breeding that may prove truly enlightening…   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. Episodes released weekly. V...

In which our investigators are firmly split into two still conscious parties, with Ray pursuing bibliophilic tendencies while Mel engages with an old friendship that is proving most difficult to negotiate - bad words are said of a mannekin pis - the nature of fine taste is discussed amidst bijou tables, well appointed living rooms, 'ghosts' and a gun…   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Pau...

In which the investigators pursue two lines of enquiry, mapped in the Real, the Remembered and the Retrospective.  Unlikely parking spaces are found, prayers are invoked, the ways of puppets are noted, visions continue on both paths and Mari Cubine raises the stakes...   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sand...

In which cross examination collapses into the business of stair work and visions, some half expected, others quite the opposite, amidst all of which, of course, the centre cannot hold.   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. Episodes released weekly. Visit our  Patreon  to help us continue making the p...

In which our investigators arrive at David’s house. A shared auditory visitation has taken its toll and the ramifications are still impacting on the friends from the UEA Occult Society. But, of course, all is not quite as it seems at the Barber household. An interview occurs outside the front door and a daring raid on a stash is attempted, with mixed results…   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenari...

In which two cars wend their way through Norwich. Chemicals take their toll. Potential gets discussed. Fudge gets packed. The Occ Soc gang fall foul of modern communications and the inevitable draw towards David Barber’s house.   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. Episodes released weekly. Visit our...

In which the alumni companions move in convoy, away from the events of Old Catton. Ripples through time are launched forth from, a lift is offered amidst considerations regarding collective hallucinations and random drug definitions. One of the 13 is called. Pins are dropped. Destinations surely begin to appear.   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by S...

In which the friends of the Occ Soc carry out alleyway interrogations and house-wide investigations, alongside illusory and theoretical interpretations. A heart beat is heard, a hand meets a heel and some of the gang get a little (or a lot) of what they wanted…   A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. E...

In which our intrepid investigators visit a quiet estate, further away from the metropolitan hub of the County Capital. Mel goes looking for clues in Sarah’s house while Erik, Alicia, Ray (and Ramen) go hunting for seemingly less savoury clues, down back alleys and dead ends… A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew...

In which the former members of the Occult Society dig deeper into Sarah Moore's story. Erik gets an important message (in actual and ophthalmological terms), Mel and Alicia catch the scent of deception while Ray begins to dig into the memory of the Occ Soc's formation...and the old friends embark upon exploration of Greater Norwich. A modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Paul Fricker, from 'Name...
