[Call of Cthulhu] "Edge of Darkness" (Charity Twitch Stream Special)

Spooky season kicks off in style with this very special collaboration between the EOR and our very own Kenny over on his Twitch channel, running through a duet variation on the classic "Edge of Darkness" scenario from the Call of Cthulhu Starter Set.

Thanks to those who tuned in to the live stream, and who donated afterwards to help raise over $600 for the DOTS RPG Project!

[Call of Cthulhu] "Mask of Desire"

Join us for a duet one-shot of Call of Cthulhu, taking one of the recent "one-to-one" scenarios from the Does Love Forgive? scenario pack for a spin.

We talk a bit about our history with duets at the top, make a custom character, dive in to the scenario, and then debrief at the end. All in all, a fun and unexpected experience!

Intro and outro music by Ute Lemper.

A brief peek behind the curtain of our ongoing Call of Cthulhu play-test campaign set in 1870s New Mexico Territory!

Please note that this recording was originally made for posterity rather than public release, and therefore our usually lax recording discipline is even more in evidence. You have been warned!

[Patreon Short Order] Call of Cthulhu: “Panacea” (Part III)

Welcome back to our play-through of "Panacea" from Petersen's Abominations. We left off last month with a bit of a cliffhanger, as the bat-toad thing formerly known as Brad assaulted our intrepid investigators.

[Patreon Short Order] Call of Cthulhu: “Panacea” (Part I)

It's a new era for Short Orders, with our first patron-funded series. A couple weeks ago we met up online and played our first quarterly game, a Call of Cthulhu scenario out of the recently released Petersen’s Abominations. The name of this particular scenario is “Panacea,” and we had a blast with it.

In this second episode, "Getting Into the Ring," our duo meets another duo (in the form of the mysterious Eliot brothers) and begins peeling back the layers of the onion. How long before they start crying?

And a big congratulations to Darker Hues Studios for landing Harlem Unbound in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution Anacostia Community Museum and The Newark Museum. These acquisitions are an acknowledgement of book's "artistic, scholarly and educational value"! Wowza! More details may be found here.

[Esoteric Short Order] Harlem Unbound: "The Contender—A Love Story" (Part I)

This month, a travel/illness-reduced crew is taking Darker Hue Studios' Harlem Unbound for a spin with the scenario "The Contender—A Love Story" by Bob Geis. The book is dual-statted for both Trail of Cthulhu and Call of Cthulhu; we opted for the latter system. The scenario is a slow-burn noir procedural that builds ever more to a truly unsettling climax, and we think you're going to really enjoy the ride.

In this first episode, "Sparring with the Champ," we meet our investigative duo and follow them to the Cotton Club, where they take a job from former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson to look into a mysterious death in the boxing ring.
