Ep 4. Amidst the Ancient Trees - Call of Cthulhu
Run the Adventure
05/15/22 • 39 min
In this episode, I take a detailed look at the Call of Cthulhu scenario, Amidst the Ancient Trees. This models the kind of creeping cosmic horror that is particularly enjoyable to play with Call of Cthulhu. It blends sandbox exploration with the relentless march of events that drives the plot to its terrifying conclusion. Something the players will be keen to stop if they can.
This scenario is available in the 7th edition Keeper's Handbook and I recommend it as a good intermediate adventure for the new Keeper to run. There is a lot to unpack and learn from this scenario. And it is not without its challenges to run.
As well as offering guidance to Keepers who are about to run this for the first time, I consider how to modify it, especially if you wish to fit it into a single session of play.

Ep 14. Gateways to Terror - Call of Cthulhu
Run the Adventure
10/30/22 • 66 min
In this Halloween special, I am joined by Mike Mason, line editor for Call of Cthulhu at Chaosium. We talk about the Gateways to Terror collection of short scenarios for Call of Cthulhu. These scenarios are perfect for beginner keepers or as introductions to players who've never played Call of Cthulhu before.
We also cover advice for new keepers and those hoping to write their own scenarios for the game. There's a lot to chew on in this episode!

Ep 13. Dragons of Despair - Dungeons & Dragons
Run the Adventure
09/02/22 • 70 min
In this special episode, I am joined by Justin Alexander from the Alexandrian and Atlas Games to talk about the Dragonlance module DL1 Dragons of Despair. For me the Dragonlance novels were a formative part of my childhood and I remember running this adventure for friends back in the 90s with some success. More recently, I brought it to the table for D&D 5th Edition.
I talk to Justin about what makes this a fun adventure, with some of its novel elements and innovations for the time. We also chat about the problems it has for those accustomed to the modern game and how these may be overcome. Justin gives his usual insights into adventure structure and design with hints at how you might remix this for your table. He also talks about some of the fascinating history of the production of the Dragonlance saga.
With a new generation about to be introduced to Dragonlance for the first time, this felt like a timely conversation going back to the roots of the setting.

Ep 12. The Darkness Beneath the Hill - Call of Cthulhu
Run the Adventure
08/25/22 • 35 min
In this episode, I take a look at the first scenario in the Doors to Darkness collection aimed at beginner Keepers of Call of Cthulhu 7th edition. The Darkness Beneath the Hill is often touted as a good transition for D&D players into Call of Cthulhu. Whether that's true or not, its a scenario that has some great atmospherics but a bit of dodgy setup.
For this episode I'm joined again by Matthew (@juniperapolo) to discuss how this adventure played for our group.

Ep 11. Fall of London - Vampire the Masquerade
Run the Adventure
07/28/22 • 69 min
For this special episode, I am joined by Iain from the Roll To Save podcast to discuss the Vampire the Masquerade campaign adventure, Fall of London.
Vampire the Masquerade is a setting and rule system that hit its peak in the 90s when at least in my gaming circle it pushed out more traditional RPGs like D&D. It perfectly captured the goth chic and music vibe that would go on to stylise films like the Matrix and Underworld. It is a lore rich setting and a simple enough system to play.
Whilst much has been written about the setting and countless campaigns played amongst friends and LARPers alike, what it seemed to lack was a memorable or even half decent adventure or scenario book. Well, at least in my opinion that was the case until Fall of London was released in 2020 for the 5th edition game.

Ep 6. The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh - Dungeons & Dragons
Run the Adventure
06/10/22 • 45 min
In this episode, we head to the seaside with the Dungeons & Dragons adventure, the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. The old AD&D adventure was one of the jewels of the UK division of TSR back in 1981 but my focus will be on the revised version from Wizards of the Coast, published as part of the Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign book.
There is a lot of material in the first chapter of the book about the town of Saltmarsh that makes it a wonderful starting point for a nautically themed campaign. In fact, Saltmarsh may well be my favourite starting town for adventures published for D&D.
Then on to the adventure itself which features a haunted house and a ghost ship. Of course, all is not what it seems in the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh.
I'm joined on this episode by Zhana to discuss how this played.
