Bleak Prospect 01: 'Chicago Overcoat' | Call of Cthulhu Actual Play

In which our investigators fall from hard times to harder times, and a shovel may prove less useful than a broom when it comes to disposing of the dead.

A Depression-era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Scott Dorward, from 'Nameless Horrors', by Scott Dorward, Paul Fricker, and Matthew Sanderson. Episodes released weekly.

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 and worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will be only too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome. Join here: discord.com/invite/kRQ62t6SjH
