When Mawdrigen Finally works out what session it is this is Episode 309, wherein we play Cthulhu Dark, and join our two Theatrical Workers on the set of the Latest Pendelbury production.
Having lost his previous cast to some kind of rumoured accident, the avante garde playwright still seems determined to put his esoteric and convoluted play on. Is there more at stake here though?
Episode 308
The year is 1972 and Dr Sandy Bakersfield has put together an expedition to a remote Indonesian island to look into rumours of strange beasts and verdant growth. Backed by the shadowy Geneveive Dindroff-Menscher of Arkham, and with Dr Nuess, Dr Minkie, and the slightly nervous Dr Salchesse they are heading into the wild unknown with 3 interns and Irfan Rhampattang their Malay guide.
It should just be a case of getting dropped off and collecting samples.
At Least that’s what Bakersfield has told them, glossing over the stories of Ghosts and Headhunters!

Episode 304
While all of our games are tagged as explicit, this game will be dealing with the Seedy underbelly of the privileged and the sex workers who they frequent. Themes of violence against women and corruption will be prevalent, if these themes make you uncomfortable then please feel free to skip this game, we will no doubt be back with something lighter very soon.
In the dark streets of Night City the Police are overrun and underpaid, Corporate interests are always trying to get their claws into them. Sometimes it is better to choose the lesser evil, accept money as “charity” rather than run the risk of privatisation or replacement.
Into this crime stew steps the Theta Squad, with enemies everywhere who can they trust? Continue reading
In this special episode, Mawdrigen sits down with Matt Madigan to discuss The Grand Tower Hotel, a 1920’s source book containing 300 pages of NPC’s, maps, and information on the world of American Luxury hotels in the roaring prohibition years.

Episode 300
We made it people! We now have 300 Episodes (Plus a few specials) and so as is our custom, we all drank a great deal of alcohol and played a game.
In this case, Goatcrashers, a game where we take on the roles of Goats trying to get into a Human Party.
So this is how we ended up playing Goats trying to sneak into a human wedding party in a manor house, where something more than just a wedding is going on.
Thank you all for keeping up with us, here’s to 300 more episodes.
PS There seems to have been some problem with Archive’s mic, sadly I can’t isolate the hiss, without actually just removing Archive, which given she was running the game would be problematic!
