The Stars Aren't Alright | Call of Cthulhu Actual Play
The Stars Aren't Alright is an Actual Play comedy/horror podcast, blending the Lovecraftian mythos with a far future, sci fi setting. The Keeper, Brian, uses the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG system to lead Alex, Catherine, Tom, and Leah through a series of mysterious events, unfolding into eldritch horror that stretches their character's sanity - and, in the end, learning that the true reality bending beings from outside time and space were the friends we made along the way. Find us everywhere at linktree.com/thestarsarentalright (This podcast contains scenes of violence, adult language, and - if we did our jobs right - disturbing subject matter. Listener discretion is strongly advised.)
