Call of Cthulhu: The Edge of Darkness #2

Following troubling revelations at the deathbed of an old friend, Rupert Merriweather, our investigators scoured the Miskatonic University archives dabbling in forbidden knowledge in search of clues. Now they set off to the rural farming community of Ross's Corner to find that accursed place where Merriweather's horrors were conceived. This is Mystery Quest, a roleplaying podcast where we play a variety of one-shot roleplaying games with a rolling cast of special guests.

Sanity refill IMO. Not like MQ really goes hard into sanity (the only one where sanity was a real issue was Forget me not I think) but this feels like an action that would either increase or refill sanity. Just a show of basic human decency (also great roleplay should always be rewarded)

You know, a short animation showing the contents of Archie's tape would be a pretty good promo for shorts. And as a Nigel and Marmelade member I have an idea who would be the perfect candidate for making such a short animated imagery true. He used to be an editor 'round these parts but by now we do not even speak his name. We have Oscar now. And Oscar does a great job. Also love the watch Ravs is wearing. If by a long shot someone knows what they are, I'd like to check them out.

The Call was quiet at first, and now that it has dragged me to the end, I realize it's existence. I find myself on a Mystery Quest, and at the last episode released, having enjoyed all the others at leisure, slowly coming to look upon the horror of having to Wait. A few days, for now. Yet - after that... I must have patience.

@rocketforthree4479 Ай бұрын

Correct me if im wrong, but there is an actual Call of Cthulhu adventure that is about a cursed vinyl record, where the curse was transferred to it when someone read an ancient book out loud. I could be confusing it with a horror short story instead. I think there was also a bit where it took place in the 80's, and a cursed cassette tape was made from recording the vinyl record? I liked the idea of curses being accidentally transfered across mediums/media.

Harry is always great in these, he's hilarious and knows how to drive the plot forward. Also I don't think they noticed but the previous owner was said to have moved to Boston, where Merryweather was warned to stay away from with no reason. The townsfolk are definitely involved!

It's super interesting hearing all the different approaches you're taking, and I'm very excited for the post-game behind the scenes peek. Also, Harry and Tommy B accidentally creating their own "Cursed Movie" is so good and I hope "There's a lost Archie Van Der Holt movie that drives anyone who sees it insane" becomes Canon
