Episode 283
A few sound issues due to the different table layout.
It is the 1980s and in the Yorkshire Dales the coal mining industry is on its last legs. Margaret Thatcher is the union busting prime minister, and surely its only a matter of time before the troubles come to Barley-bar-bridge.
Of course, worse things could be happening. Like horrible murders!
Episode 282

Episode 281
First Off we sadly had a ton of planes going overhead, and the worlds loudest pigeon! Sorry I did try and cut them out where I could!
So they have a plan for dealing with Talithar now, watch her probable route into their domain and drop on her the moment they see her. The fact these plans involve standing around in other vampires domains is neither here nor there.
Also have they really thought through the “look like the sort of people she eats” part of the plan?

Episode 280
Talithar might be coming back, and the coeterie need to be ready for it. However there also seems to be someone spying on them and in these precarious times, that is a definite danger. Obviously they will begin planning the sting on Talithar and come up with an intelligent and safe plan for dealing with the spying. Of course they will. Totally.
It won’t be a stupid insane plan at all.
Episode 279
It has become obvious that something is going on and they may need to gather some more information. The Neonates need to get hold of the Woodley coeterie, or what is left of it any how. Will they be able to find tem by wandering the rack? If they do will they be able to get the help that they need?
Episode 278
They are starting to get the hang of this being damned creatures of the night thing! They have some clues as to why there was a dead body and have even arranged for a few leads but will they be able to concentrate on them or will they get distracted by other more pressing satorial matters. Oh dear!
Episode 277
The dead body is dealt with but they still have to work out how it got there. Cue a lot of research, looking for information, and talking to cats. Did I say talking to cats? Yes I did, look it’s weird being a Vampire OK!
Will they be any closer to solving the question of who is out to get them?
Episode 276
So we finally get back to the woodland animals as they try and work out who tried to crash Roger’s boat into a lock. Having captured Tony Caferriti they now have to pump him for information. Oh, we lost Fluffy, never mind.

Episode 275
Trapped in an Inn with Mercenaries, murderous Geisha, Uncles, Cannibals, several weevils etc etc the Officers find themselves between a rock and a hard place. This is all made far worse by the fact that bubbling just under the surface is betrayal and treachery. Will all of them get out of the Inn at the Red Crossroads alive, or is it the end of the line?
Continue reading
Episode 274
They need to find more information, and they have a good lead that perhaps they can find it at the Inn of the Red Crossroads. Of course they first have to get there which as it is in the centre of an enormous battleground that three different clans have fought over repeatedly might be difficult. Luckily they have an ample supply of Ghost repelling mushrooms, shame they do not have a mushroom that repels assassins or internal conflict isn’t it?

Episode 273
Waking up next to dead bodies is not actually a normal thing for vampires, but if it had to happen to anyone it would happen to Edgar. Will the neonates be able to hide the evidence in time, will they be able to work out what is going on? Will they annoy anyone powerful.
Will they continue to to act like the what we do in the shadows lot?
Episode 272
The Neonates have survived meeting Prince Drummond, but now they must see what happens regarding the forming of Coeteries and the giving out of domains. Surely the Prince wouldn’t show any favouritism…
Yeah right.
Plus they are still at a party filled with other vampires that might try and talk to the, the HORROR!

Taking a shortcut, and being hunted down by a beast
When did packing up at the end of a club night become so dangerous?
Episode 270
Given they have dealt with the Gaki and talked to the Ghost you would think the Officers would be fleeing away from the Haunted Forest, except that they aren’t. Instead they are heading back into it searching for the samurai in the forest. The only issue is that the officers all seem to have different ideas about exactly what they are going to do when they find him…

Episode 266
Faced with the mystery of who the Ghost was and why she was so angry with the Diamyo, the Samurai decide to see if there are any other members of the Akirito family still.. alive.
Whether there will be any members of the family left AFTER they find them however is an entirely different question!
Episode 265
What happens when the wonderful people over at Fandible releases a game about being Goblins in a Trenchcoat.
The Answer is: We play the shit out of it, and probably reduce its creator (@Katsushiro on twitter) to a puddle of anguished tears of frustration!
So join us now for… a very Sexy Adventure!
Episode 264
Returning from the Heiwana shrine the Officers of the Diamyo report back and hen have to discuss what to do next. With the Nakatomi certainly likely to take offence at the killing of their Executioner, the theft of their Teppo and the capture of Jinsoku the Swift perhaps it would be best to prepare for war. However there is a niggling feeling that the Ghost on the Bridge was trying to warn them of something far more dangerous.
What will they do? and more importantly, are they actually going to be able to work together in the face of their varying agendas.

Episode 262
Creeping into a haunted forest at night seemed like such a good plan at first. Then of course it became obvious that there was a lot more in the forest than just them. In fact there is a pretty good chance that the forest is not only haunted but hiding a whole lot of threats.
Can the Samurai enact their plan to steal the Teppo and even the odds? Or will they all die?
Who Knows!
Episode 261
In this Spoiler filled episode we look back on the entire campaign! Remembering the highs and lows, the losses and the triumphs, and every bloody time the players decided to do tourism rather than the plot!
Join us as we go through the entire thing!
Episode 260
The plan was to have a nice little talk, sort out the confusion about the Migunakitsune presence at the shrine and prevent any bloodshed. However having the Nakatomi samurai shot by an unseen assailant was not part of the plan, especially leaving the much less talkative Nakatomi clan executioner in charge of the surrounding forces.

Episode 259
Finally back in London the investigators have to find the scroll of the left hand and perform the ritual so that they do not melt into barely sentient cannibalistic ooze. Pretty much your normal Monday for a Cthulhu Investigator really. Can they do it? After so many months and so much death, can they finally be rid of the dread curse of the Sedefkar Simulacrum?
Episode 258
Finally setting off towards the Heiwana shrine the officers first have to contend with the haunted Yurei forest. Will their preparations be enough, or will ghosts and spirits defeat them. Can they reach the shrine before the Nakatomi forces reach it and them. If they do reach the shrine can they hope to stand against their enemies forces?
The game’s nearly finished, but not before the budget was…
Episode 257
Having killed Makryat you’d think the Investigators would have time to relax… but no! The Duke De Essentes has come looking for his due. Will they hand over the Sedefkar to the madman who hospitalised Sadie, or will Selena’s barely controlled rage erupt and damn them all?
They cannot afford to waste time with the corruption continuing, but can they beat the Jigsaw Prince?
Episode 256
In this episode we try out a new system in Blood and Honour, and we join the Officers of the Migunakitsune clan as they try and keep the clan from falling into disarray. It is spring and someone has come to their stronghold bringing news of terrible danger to their clan if they do not act quickly. Can they save themselves?
A 14 MINUTE CUTSCENE???!!! Who let Hideo Kojima into the dev studio?!
The 90s were a problematic time…
Episode 255
The Jigsaw Prince is offering them his help to get rid of Mehmet Makryat, but the Investigators just can’t help but think he’s just going to be as bad once they have done what he asks. Given their dire situation though do they really have a choice?
Will Errol manage to Impress the aim of his Man-crush Ramahotet? Will they find out who is Makryat? Join us now to find out!
Episode 254
Being two people down, the Investigators feel like they might be on the edge of failure. Could these two new people that have suddenly turned up be a life line? Or a trap.
Add to this the fact that the Train seems to have grown an extra… Cathedral… things might be about to get a bit more complex.
Bloodied plays once more, and this time he’s brought a friend…
Episode 253
Unsure as to whether subterranean complexes are standard under sleepy town alchemists houses the Bargain Basement Harpers swing into tentative action, determined to work out if Breff Goldarrow is a bad guy, or just the latest in the run of good guys they have pissed off.
With their Fire obsessed gnome, an ex evil army captain, a morally ambiguous thief a reformed pirate and the most exasperated Kenku on Faerun what could possibly go wrong.
Oh yes.
Everything!

Episode 252
So the chief cultist being dead didn’t seem to work as now there are five cultists performing some kind of ritual with the train which is making it faster. Faster and possibly more evil. The Investigators have made their way to the front of the train without being spotted and even managed to persuade some Train Minions to go along with them!
Will their Ambush work? Given they are all so low on health and sanity will they even survive.
So to try and make the podcast proof against Apple removing us from iTunes for the crime of having episode numbers we had a little technical hiccup. It SHOULD now be fixed but if you find any broken links to episodes or episodes you cannot download please let us know!
Episode 251
With Margrave dead surely the investigators can rest easier now? No no of course they can’t. First there is the problem of the evidence, then there is getting Elena Constanza back up the train safely.
On top of all of that they finally realise that there are also the 5 cultists who came on board with Margrave. They have been quiet so far but what trouble could they be up to?
Episode 250
Ladies and Gentlemen we made it to episode 250!! As is our won’t this resulted in us playing a very silly game really quite drunk, in this case the game was The Veggie Patch. Join us a an intrepid Bean, an Anime Karrot, a Garlic bulb with multiple personalities, and a Tomato (not a vegetable) embark on an epic quest of truly amazing proportions that most of the players can only just about remember!
This one gets messy folks, but messy in a hilarious manner!
Episode 249
Having found a cauldron (that Gerome has convinced them is magical) the worlds least socially adept band of Harpers have at least taken the main cause of the problems for Sweetwater. They now have to begin searching for whoever has the initials BG… Could it be Bariss the priest of the Temple? Or maybe Breff the Alchemist.
Will they even be able to manage to investigate without alienating everyone in town?
Episode 248
With Lord Margrave heading down the train presumably to deal with Elena Constanza in a permanent manner, the Investigators swing into action to attempt to save her. However with the train in the station there are a lot of people getting on there is a high chance that some of them are not what they seem.
Can the Investigators manage to save their ally without dying themselves? Can they even get down the train?
Episode 247
Something is bothering Ludovic and the investigators worry that it might be something to do with them, so they decide to find out exactly what it is. The only problem is that it may cause them more problems than they expected.
However they also have to try and keep track of Margrave, Harrow-Bart and the others who might be Makryat. Is it a lost cause, or can Elena Constansa give them the clues that they need?
Episode 246
Tired of being passive (and with GM prodding) the Investigators realise that sitting and waiting to be stabbed is not a great plan and instead start to work out who is actually Makryat now. First step is to try and work out where the Sedefkar Simulacrum is with a trip to the Fourgon.
Will they find it? Will they discover Makryat’s identity? What is wrong with Errol’s Crate? Find out now.
