Join our star team of investigators*, Sydney Amanuel (Glass Cannon Network, The Lost Mountain Saga), Sam See (Stand-Up Asia, The Jim Jeffries Show), Josephine McAdam (Graveyards of Arkham, LA by Night, Battle for Beyond), Jon Gracey (Blood on the Clocktower: Live), and special guests Becca Scott (Good Time Society, Dropout) and Dominic Allen (Apocalypse Players, No Rolls Barred), as they face unspeakable terrors in a fully improvised game of Call of Cthulhu, the foremost tabletop game of horror and mystery.
In 1920s Edinburgh, they are the only thing standing in the way of diabolical cults and cosmic monsters from beyond space! Will they survive to tell the tale, or will they get in their own way as much as the threats they face? Guided by Keeper of Arcane Lore Mike Mason (Call of Cthulhu Creative Director), they'll be seeking answers among tomes of forbidden lore in the National Library of Scotland itself.
*Competency as investigators not guaranteed.
