This has definitely been on of the better RPG shows I’ve heard. I really like the recommendation segment and humor, although sometimes the silliness can get overwhelming. Very nice coverage of the rules and clear explanations about game mechanics.

Have been listening for years. Always enjoyable. It’s like listening to old friend.

A very quick witted and fun group of guys who never fail to keep me entertained. Have re-listened multiple times. A fun way to learn about Call of Cthulhu rules and scenarios or just wind down and listen to something interesting. Excellent and imaginative keeper. Super funny and engaging players....Read full review »

Hands down my favourite real play podcast. I’ve been listening (and re-listening) for many years now and it’s great how this show has evolved. I basically learnt 80% of how to play Call of Cthulhu through listening. Now I’m Keeping my own games, largely thanks to this. They start also not really...Read full review »

This podcast ticks all boxes for me, the Cthulhu mythos is sprinkled in just right by the genius Keeper, alongside a cast of funny, experienced players/friends. I hope to see it succeed further and go from strength to strength in the future. Very little manages to hold my attention this long...Read full review »

Funny, mostly in the unreal way that rpg's play out a serious scenario. Bit too boy's club attitude though. How about playing a female character (tastefully), or better yet include a girl in the group.Read full review »

I have really enjoyed the story line and all the twists and turns the story has had to bring us to where we are now. I enjoy listen to a few Call of Cthulhu podcasts but by far this is the most entertaining to me. Keep the fun coming and may Roy live in semi-sanity forever!

Turning horror into slapstick comedy like all other TTRPG podcasts, tiresome. The quality is bad too, eating and drinking into a mic is not fun to listen to. And you aren’t Acq Inc, stop trying and focus on horror and suspense, not immature reddit bro tier comedy.

I discovered this podcast last week and am already halfway through chapter 6! Keeper of Lore, I love how relaxed your demeanor is, flowing with 4th wall breaking jokes and getting everything back to task without ever coming off as a duck. I really enjoy that none of you take yourselves to...Read full review »

I love this podcast but does anyone else have a issue with not being able to find some of the episodes after tape 3 they seem to scatter out from there
dinohunter34555 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/21
An absolutely unbelievable podcast. Do you like a podcast that takes a darker theme? Do you like comedy? Do you enjoy laughing so hard your side hurts? Then this is the podcast for you. I've been listening to them for several years and could not recommend them more. The GM does an unreal job...Read full review »
Slimer13 ftw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/21
This is a great podcast. The Jeremy the keeper runs a tight ship, and the players are very good. It runs along nicely and the humour is great.
@DrewBk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/24/21
I love everything from the ads to the recommendos. The atmosphere the Keeper constructs with excellent audio and sfx keeps you immersed in the story while the guys bring life to the characters making you emotionally invested in their tomfoolery. While not all the jokes in the first few story arcs...Read full review »

I love the mix of humor and horror. Found Roy annoying at first but he grows you like a fungus. Episodes are well thought out and masterfully told. Wish I had a group like this. Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more episodes.
MarkPB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/20
The DM is great and tries to make things happen, but the players are egregious trolls and do their best to undermine any serious narrative. Also, it’s fine for men to roleplay as women but maybe don’t spent your whole day making menstruation jokes and giggling at your own wit.
ArborBarber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/20
Do yourself a favor and give The Lovecraft Tapes a listen. The Keeper is a talented writer and his descriptions and scenes are very compelling and believable. The horror is mixed with a fair amount of comedy driven in large part by a funny trio of players. This is one of my all time favorite...Read full review »

I was skeptical in the first episode. Wasn’t sure if this one was going to be worth my time. Gave you guys an even chance and finished the first episode. Have since binged the series and am just starting chapter ten. Amazing story. Enough surprises to keep me guessing no matter how sure I am I...Read full review »

As a rookie Keeper, I was looking for a podcast to listen to for inspiration and affirmation of gameplay rules. Listening to this series from the beginning is a true delight because their evolution mirrors what many role players go through: starting with a modest understanding of rules and slowly...Read full review »

Can’t get enough of this group. Love the back and forth between these guys has me laughing out loud more and more. Great job guys, as long as you keep making these podcasts, I’ll keep listening.
boonyang82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/20
I love this podcast! One minute I’m creeped out by what’s happening and the next I’m laughing my butt off! I’m on case 4 now and all I can say is that I love Roy and his family
Dman112 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
I listen quite a few actual play Cthulhu podcasts. In my attempt to achieve entertainment vicariously through the voices of the players I typically wish I was younger with less responsibilities and more time. When I discovered the Lovecraft Tapes I had a sense there was something different,...Read full review »

This is the first review that I’ve written and just let me say that this podcast is worth it. Honestly it’s a healthy combination of wit, humor, and the spookiness. The story lines are awesome and have motivated me to be keeper for my wife and her friend this weekend. They’re going to make it a...Read full review »

The last product advertised on your podcast left me with a strange scaly rash in the shape of a tacofish. The rash appears in a different place on my body each day, but I believe it is getting larger. Increasingly I feel compelled to roll around in some spices and onions and wrap myself in crispy...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast while looking for something to fill the gap between sessions of my own group.

Duelhyperion via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/18/19
The series was an enjoyable one for the first two chapters. I was engrossed and wanted more... then there was the ending of chapter 2 which ruined everything. Everything that happened in the first two chapters becomes fiction, and the interesting storylines they had are just dropped, which is no...Read full review »

I loved this podcast ever since I found it. It's great fun to listen to these folks. As a matter of fact, this podcast was how I really go into Call of Cthulhu. I'd been wanting to run it for a long time and this group helped me figure out a lot of things about how to actually make it...Read full review »

Started listening just over a month ago and this has been my favorite show for my long commutes. The cast do an amazing job at keeping listeners enthralled in their story, waiting to see what happens next, with plenty of laughs thrown in as well.
Vladdimir37 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/19
I’m all caught up! I was recommended your podcast by The Call of Cthulu Mystery Progam and I’m so happy they did! This show is the perfect combination of intrigue, dread, mystery, and fun. I’ll be going to your patreon to become a student.
Manda Mikala via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/19
For a long drive, nothing else could be better. You guys are hilarious, and I’ve honed my Keeper skills by learning from Jeremy. It’s impossible to find a game of my own! I have to say I am continually impressed with Brian’s ability to shift character with such fluidity. Whether its Sam or Jack...Read full review »
peoplewatcherlookininamirror via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/18
The podcast revolves around the Pen&Paper Call of Cthulhu inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. These guys do an amazing job at balancing great storytelling, good role playing action, and jokes that will make you laugh aloud even if you are alone at home washing dishes. I’ve listened to...Read full review »

It is rare to find a group with such good chemistry. It might have to do with the fact two of the group are brothers. They all are great to listen to funny and ridiculous at times but still great. I enjoy the reccomendos and have watched a fair few good horror flicks because of them. Listen to...Read full review »

If you love Cthulhu then you’ll love this. A great bunch of players and the adverts are hilarious and brilliantly themed and made by the cast. #PleaseSponsorUs.

Lock the screen door, reheat the leftover taco-fish and crack open a boomstick brew, its time for the hilariously horrifying hyjinks of the Lovecraft Tapes. Best podcast EVAR!

One of the best RPG podcasts out there. Blows TAZ out of the water. It has a few audio mixing problems, but other than that, I love kg

I have a rich fantasy world in my head so when the GM goes in horror mode between on the goofs of the players my hairs stand on end. Certainly worth a listen.
