Episode 1: It's Not Arkham R & R in Lovecraft Country

    • バックステージ

... that would be silly.

What would happen if a stranger told you to claim your birthright? In its action and story-packed first episode, Lovecraft Country sets the tone: "this ain't your racist uncle's Lovecraft." We dive into our reactions to the mystery of Atticus's mother, the daylight monster of white supremacy, the fight/chase/terror scene that left us holding our breath, and more.

Things we forgot to mention (vs. things that got cut out when we tried to make our episode a manageable length):


our rating: truly an unknoweable number of tentacles.
the captions are truly wonderful, [gibbering] and [chittering] and [ominous music]

Ruth: Rather than do ads, we're sharing the work of a Black RPG/Horror writer whose work listeners might want to check out. Chris Spivey is the founder of Darker Hue Studios. His best-known project, the award-winning Harlem Unbound has two editions. The first sold-out in print and available as PDF supports the Call of Cthulhu and Trail of Cthulhu systems. The second available now in PDF and for pre-order supports Call of Cthulhu 7th edition and includes 4 new scenarios. You can check out an August 2020 actual-play of "Harlem Hellfighters Never Die"

Read the episode transcript.

Intro music from "The Ninth Crewman" by Patrick de Arteaga. Outro music "In the Pines" performed by Micah Tillman.
