Under the Library is a weekly recorded RPG/TTRPG game utilizing the Call of Cthulhu rule set. It is set on a fictitious earth (at least until the aliens arrive) where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor. Our current campaign is Blood on the Rocks, an original weird west sandbox created by our Keeper and mispronouncer Michael Frank. Each week, Michael leads his friends (a motley crew of opera singers, DMs, puppet makers and serial killers) as they brave the mysteries and try not to die. The investigators of Bloodstone are Florence Potter, bookstore owner (Emily Mills-Woodruff), Beau Clermont, traveler and hunter (Chris Hogan), Quentin Berry, veteran and medic (Wayne Holt), Jaker VonHusher, coffin maker (Scott Stamper), Harold Rumsford, tinkerer/inventor (Arthur Rothfuss III), and Philip Awn Donner, mountainman (Rick Duthersford).
The members of Under The Library believe heartily in the narrative, improv and character building of roleplaying. Sometimes we stick our heads in front of trains because thats what our character would do, and when we look under the bed even the Keeper may not be sure what we’ll find. We believe we’re crafting a story, which creates flawed characters, suspenseful events, and fulfilling revelations. At it’s heart, Call of Cthulhu is a horror TTRPG. Most people go insane or die horribly graphic deaths. It’s for mature audiences, but don’t expect us to act that way. Please join us Under the Library, as we explore, go insane, and make fun of each other because we’re a great group of friends who love to tell amazing stories. Find us at https://underthelibrary.com.

*Start Here* - Under the Library Podcast Intro
Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor. Our main storyline, a sandbox created by our Keeper (Michael), is set in (a fictitious) 1942 New Mexico and follows the misadventures of Collette (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Sister B (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on narrative, improv, and character building. We may stick our heads in front of a train because that’s what our character would do, and when we look under the bed even the Keeper may not know what we’ll find. We’re crafting a story, creating flawed characters, suspenseful events, and fulfilling revelations. Call of Cthulhu is a horror TTRPG; characters die horribly graphic deaths. It’s for mature audiences, but played by immature people. Find us at https://underthelibrary.com.
