<h1>Episode Notes</h1> <p>In this episode, we dissect and reanimate the Call of Cthulhu scenario UNLAND written by Scott Dorward, with the author himself! We dissect the creepy amusement park rides and talk about Silent Hill 2 more than a bit, while Scott shares how he runs this scenario very differently than written, as the scenario that made it to print became quite different than he'd originally envisioned it to be!</p> <p>The scenario is in the Fear's Sharp Little Needles collection, which is available here: <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/245289/fear-s-sharp-little-needles-26-modern-day-call-of-cthulhu-scenarios" rel="nofollow">https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/245289/fear-s-sharp-little-needles-26-modern-day-call-of-cthulhu-scenarios</a></p> <p>Additionally, our Beating Heart-tier Intern Zander made some awesome custom handouts and gave us permission to share them, available in our Google Drive: <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JT-mFFRhNrfkHJjC5VCVgx2aMi-4z12x?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JT-mFFRhNrfkHJjC5VCVgx2aMi-4z12x?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>If you'd like to join our Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/R8Q6aeyVk8" rel="nofollow">https://discord.gg/R8Q6aeyVk8</a> </p> <p>All music and sound effects are sourced under attribution free creative commons licensing</p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>

<h1>Episode Notes</h1> <p>In this episode, we meet with Good Friend Matt Sanderson to talk about his favorite Call of Cthulhu scenario The Burning Stars, written by David Conyers for Call of Cthulhu 6th edition. I describe this as "the most Call of Cthulhu-y-est scenario I have ever played" and for the first time, I'll recommend to anyone who has not already read or played this scenario to carefully consider if they want to spoil themselves on it by listening here, as it has a really fantastic twist that needs to come through at the table.</p> <p>You can purchase a PDF of the Terrors from Beyond collection which contains this scenario from Chaosium here: <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/terrors-from-beyond-pdf/" rel="nofollow">https://www.chaosium.com/terrors-from-beyond-pdf/</a></p> <p>After this recording, we also got permission from Thom Raley of Into the Darkness to share the fantastic updated handouts that he hasmade for this scenario, which you can find in our Google Drive here: <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IRMWBjHWd0ISXjiywCPKcca3fPpdEafP?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IRMWBjHWd0ISXjiywCPKcca3fPpdEafP?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>All music and sound effects were made using attribution-free creative commons resources.</p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>
