Behold, the Badland Bards approach...

We are the newest TTRPG actual play podcast to make ourselves known in the vast wasteland that is the inter-web. We focus mainly on the Call of Cthulhu system by Chaosium, but will occasionally dip our toes into other systems such as DnD 5th Edition. Our first offering to you, our lovely audience, will be the full three parts of our playthrough of The Necropolis from the Gateways to Terror collection by Chaosium. 

From there we will mix in scenarios in weekly installments from various writers and publishers, including works of our own sick composition. This Halloween we shall arrive with ghastly tales aplenty. We look forward to captivating and horrifying you in the day, weeks, years, or millennia to come.

Our first episodes is a little more than a day away! In order to tantalize you horror thirsty miscreants, we thought we would give you a little taste of what is to come. Enjoy and we will see you all very soon!

It's a shame that neither of the good doctors is a medical doctor, for they will likely need one after confronting what they have awoken. Will they survive the horror in the darkness or will this place also become THEIR tomb?
