    In which a group of old school friends test their memories, mammories & mettle… and our players discover that a year is a long time without hobbies… A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer. Episodes released weekly. Cast: Dr. Henry Carraig-Muire - Joseph Chance Rev. Perregrine McCutcheon - Dan Wheeler Lady Helen Marjorie Bjarmia Potts - Dominic Allen CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. Human discretion is advised. APOCALYPSE PLAYERS LIVE! On Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May, AND due to popular demand Monday 26th May @ 7.30pm, we will be back at the Rosemary Branch theatre. https://www.rosemarybranchtheatre.co.uk/show/the-apocalypse-players-live-3 “Dare you join us again on a cosmic odyssey into the eldritch and strange? The four greatest roleplayers from the ancient city of Carcosa RETURN to the Rosemary Branch Theatre for further self-abasement at the altar of the Great Old Ones. Combining the Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game with improvisational sorcery, the award-winning Apocalypse Players will take their sacrificial offerings (that’s you, the audience) to the brink of sanity, but who will crack first!?” Hope to see you there! 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).
