The Apocalypse Players
LIVE with TOM CLARK! Going Loco: Choo-Choo Cthulhu 01: 'Medieval Re-enactment on the Orient Express'
In which shoes, hair, Viscount biscuits and nationalities go missing.   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. Human discretion is advised.   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).

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. Episodes released weekly. Cast: Dr. Henry Carraig-Muire - Joseph Chance Rev.
