The Apocalypse Players
As The Waters Cover The Sea 06: Three Swift Lights Shoreside, Ebbing Towards Me
In which the Westenra walking group reaches a pivotal moment and must face a choice of paths on a greater scale than they had previously imagined…   A modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Joseph Chance   Cast: Josephine Arundel – Belinda Cornish Chris Caldwell – Dan Wheeler Max Davenant – Danann McAleer Charlie Westenra – Dominic Allen Keeper of Arcane Lore ­– Joseph Chance   CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. As ever, human discretion is advised.   The Apocalypse Players is an actual 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).

The Apocalypse Players
As The Waters Cover The Sea 04: As Above, So Below
In which our walking party feel sure they are encountering still stranger things: freak weather, sheltered defiles, terms of magic and perhaps that most horrible of imaginings: an immersive theatrical experience…   A modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Joseph Chance   Cast: Josephine Arundel – Belinda Cornish Chris Caldwell – Dan Wheeler Max Davenant – Danann McAleer Charlie Westenra – Dominic Allen Keeper of Arcane Lore ­– Joseph Chance   CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror.  PLEASE BE AWARE - This episode contains the sound effect of a small child crying and description of threat to a child that some may find distressing.  As ever, human discretion is advised.   A Note on the Recording: This episode includes reference to a large and very successful British high-street pharmacy called Boots. It was common practice in the late 20th Century to develop one’s photographs at Boots, often handing one’s film to young female employees for the task. The equivalent in America might perhaps be CVS or Walgreens. In Japan, Yodobashi Camera would have served, Germany it would have been Rossman’s. France of course favoured independent practitioners of the art. As ever, here at the Apocalypse Players, we advise that you use human discretion wherever you develop your photographs - be it at a high-street chain or in that little wooden cabin with the yellow front door, at the end of the lane where the marsh meets the sky…   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).

In which our investigators realise they're not in Vermont anymore, delusions of German psychiatrists abound, and Thomas the Tank Engine needs to take some Rennies.   An improvised Call of Cthulhu scenario by The Apocalypse Players, performed live at the Loco Klub in Bristol.   Cast: Siegfried Carrington - Joseph Chance Dr. Rex Dogson - Danann McAleer Jackson Odysseus Bernard - Dan Wheeler Leopold Garibaldi - Tom Clark Keeper of Arcane Lore - Dominic Allen   Additional Guest NPCs were played by Philippa and Max   This live show recording is dedicated to the memory of Melina Delo (Meowlina), whose unwavering support and naughty sense of humour will be deeply missed.   CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror.

The Apocalypse Players
An Uncommon Burial 27: ‘Whimsical Knock’
…or ‘Liquorice All Saints’ …or ‘The Great Whitby Crème de Menthe Flood of 1901’ In which the banging of the doors, the crashing of the waves, and the squawking of the birds lead with grim inevitability to partial nudity, a quarrel about colonisation, pop culture detours to the 1920s, 1980s and 2020s, and finally a ten-minute inebriated discussion about phonetics which carries a heavy content warning for abrasive and borderline culturally insensitive mouth noises.   A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer.
