An Uncommon Burial 05: "Just Not Cricket"

A brief interlude, in which the players prove that they do play by the rules… even if they’re not entirely sure what they are.     A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer. Episodes released weekly.     Cast:   Dr. Henry Carraig-Muire - Joseph Chance   Rev. Perregrine McCutcheon - Dan Wheeler   Lady Helen Marjorie Bjarmia Potts - Dominic Allen       CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. Human discretion is advised.       APOCALYPSE PLAYERS LIVE!   On Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May, AND due to popular demand Monday 26th May @ 7.30pm, we will be back at the Rosemary Branch theatre.   https://www.rosemarybranchtheatre.co.uk/show/the-apocalypse-players-live-3   “Dare you join us again on a cosmic odyssey into the eldritch and strange? The four greatest roleplayers from the ancient city of Carcosa RETURN to the Rosemary Branch Theatre for further self-abasement at the altar of the Great Old Ones. Combining the Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game with improvisational sorcery, the award-winning Apocalypse Players will take their sacrificial offerings (that’s you, the audience) to the brink of sanity, but who will crack first!?”   Hope to see you there!       The Apocalypse Players is an actual play (or live play) TTRPG podcast focused on horror tabletop roleplaying games. 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 worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will only be too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome.
