Under the Library - A Call of Cthulhu Podcast

On this episode of Under the Library, a Call of Cthulhu Podcast:

Sam and Amos head to the clothing store where the clerk Jenny decks them out in “western” clothing including some very unique hats. Johnny also procures himself a big white hat and questions Jenny about the military presence at Old Bloodstone.

Upstairs with the book, Buddy asks it how to find connections between New Bloodstone and the facility at Los Alamos. The book responds cryptically by drawing picture after picture of children.

In the square, Sam, Johnny, and Buddy witness a shooting. Johnny assumes it’s pure theater, but after the victim is dragged off he realizes the blood on the ground smells, and tastes, real.

Colette runs into Sam and Amos at Lloyd’s General Store while searching fora map. Lloyd responds strangely when Sam shows him the old map he found in Los Alamos. Colette, confused by the town’s economy, presses Lloyd about why no one charges for anything. He claims New Bloodstone’s creator designed it that way as a grand “experiment”.

Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor. Our main storyline, a sandbox created by our Keeper (Michael), is set in (a fictitious) 1942 New Mexico and follows the misadventures of Collette (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Sister B (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on narrative, improv, and character building. We may stick our heads in front of a train because that’s what our character would do, and when we look under the bed even the Keeper may not know what we’ll find. We’re crafting a story, creating flawed characters, suspenseful events, and fulfilling revelations. Call of Cthulhu is a horror TTRPG; characters die horribly graphic deaths. It’s for mature audiences, but played by immature people. Find us at https://underthelibrary.com.
