Thankless Roll Players: arguably the world's finest TTRPG actual play podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We take a break from Hommlet with a jaunt underground in Harley Stroh's level 3 DCC adventure. It's only six pages long! How hard can it be?

On a rare evening that we have a full complement of players, the party once more ventures into the bowels of the moat house, to investigate what lies beyond the two secret doors.

Having made their blood sacrifice, our intrepid party of inept rabble venture deep into the horror-filled corridors of the Temple of Herlezzect (yeah, we can't pronounce it either) in the concluding part of our playthrough of Nick Baran's "The Precipice of Corruption" for Dungeon Crawl Classics.

"The victim always returns to the scene of the crime"

Our penultimate foray into the existentially put-upon college town of Towson, Ohio continues with murderous deeds, sinister cults, and a crash course in boiler repair.  And you can win a sticker...or something.

"Betty White is the bacon of celebrities!"

AKA Three Investigators and a Baby!  A home cleaning crew takes on a job that's too good to be true, in the first part of our playthrough of Lynne Hardy's "Scritch Scratch".  What we may lack in production values, we make up for in infants!

"This property faces certain real estate challenges.  I would rather list it than love it."

"Well...um...I am suddenly of the opinion that this place is haunted."

We take on the classic introductory scenario to Call of Cthulhu the only way we know how...shambolically.

Ruh Roh Cave AKA shotungmanx 300% flat tire skull & crossbones.   

It's guns-a-blazin against future sonic terminator dudes and evil bowling balls in the conclusion of our second Towson mystery in Evil Hat's "Monster of the Week".

"I'll pull out an infinite number of handkerchiefs to help wipe her face down".  

Our intrepid investigators are called back to Arkham to attend to an old dying friend.  Along the way they pick up a stranded stage magician.  What can possibly go wrong?  The answer is, of course, everything...  

As always, expect mistakes-a-plenty, profanity, stumbles, mumbles, and monsters.
