An Uncommon Burial 36: The Old Man and The Tree

In which our investigators reach the moors and face the inevitable challenges that come with a transition from the urban to the untamed, where the past makes itself present via ancient myths and newly glimpsed horizons.   A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer. Episodes released weekly.   Cast:   Dr. Henry Carraig-Muir - Joseph Chance   Rev. Perregrine McCutcheon - Dan Wheeler   Lady Helen Marjorie Bjarmia Potts - Dominic Allen   Keeper of the Arcane Law - Danann McAleer   CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. Human discretion is advised.   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). We primarily play the Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu, but have also been known to dabble with other systems, most of which can be found on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/apocalypseplayers   We now have a free Discord server where you can come worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will only be too eager to welcome you into the fold. New sacrifices oops we mean players are always welcome.
