Dear Listener, Long forgotten memories come to haunt the travelers as they set themselves up for the night. They end up watching shadows and talking until the sun comes up - covering everything from the wisdom of age, lost family and the instinct to run, but will their long night be detrimental to them as they have a long day's trek ahead? I guess you're about to find out. I find the dark strangely illuminating when it comes to ones fears, and the daylight oddly sanitizing of those fears....

The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program is a Lovecraftian horror-comedy where historical fiction and high-stakes hilarity meld in an unholy amalgam of cinematic audio drama and tabletop roleplaying. Succumb to the maddening call... OF CTHULHU!  Amidst these horrific tales, there’s laughs aplenty as the actors truly live the horror of their characters’ predicaments. And there’s romance too! Look no further than our cat-worshipping polyamorist sapphic occultist power couple, Estelle Thorpe and...

Dear Listener, The new group started heading towards the witches coven at Diableria, stopping at the first gate to talk with Lilian. Lilian who knows of Aster, Seeker... and obviously Ralph. Seeker not only receives information, but also a protective rune from Lilian, before she makes her way towards the airport. She seems quite nice, Lilian I mean. Meeting old friends is always a strange feeling, especially when time has passed and we all change with time, don't we? Or do we? I guess you're...

Dear Listener, Seeker comes bearing coffee and employment, although he is shut out of the room as Lark and Sully discuss a mutual friend. With dreams being dreams and there being a very physical threat of cult activity, the group instead turn to more practical matters as Seeker seeks to join them. Tangling with the cult, even briefly, equaled death for three, I wonder how investigating more directly will turn out? I guess you're about to find out. The difficulty with existence is how we all...

Dear Listener, After meeting with the leader of Diableria, the travelers finally come face to face with Aster's friend Henri, or Seeker as he goes by now. Telling someone that there has been a passing is never an easy thing to do. But when the manner is so unusual, how will Seeker react? I guess you're about to find out. Hmmm. Seeker might have more information than he's letting on - oh my, it's quite unpleasant! I do hope he's staying. Big thank you and welcome to Travis Vengroff! Our...

Dear listener, Last we left our group, they had entered a burrow, with creatures that had killed all but two of it's inhabitants. It had been revealed via Zlata's Grace that Aster may not be all he seems - and that maybe coming to haunt them now that someone is shooting at them. Now if one of them died this early, that would be a shame wouldn't it? I jest, surely? I guess you're about to find out.

It is difficult to believe, that in the third decade of the third millennium, that no one could entertain the notion that your world was coveted by creatures from beyond the stars. And yet, those eldritch beings, with minds beyond comprehension, regarded your earth with gluttonous hunger, and swiftly, and surely, they turned your flora and forests against you. Few folks even considered the possibility that humanity, like a bug in the jaws of a world wide venus fly trap, would suddenly,...
