About this episode
In which more conspiratorial words are whispered and a chief suspect is collared. The investigators end the evening back where they began; there, cards are laid on the table, and terrible decisions are made based on an impossible non-euclidean venn diagram of character motivations and player availabilities.

Think Dimension 20 or Critical Role, but fewer dragons, more eldritch horrors, and more British actors taking their roleplaying very seriously (most of the time). We primarily play the Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu, but have also been known to dabble with other systems, most of which can be found on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/apocalypseplayers We now have a free Discord server where you can come and worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will be only too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome.
