  • The Company of the Light (Vaesen) 01: ‘Heartsholm Light’
    May 11 2026
    In which five misfits find themselves drawn to a remote, rocky outcrop in South West England... The Company of the Light uses the Vaesen roleplaying system, by Free League Publishing and based an original concept by Johan Egerkrans. The mystery at the heart of the scenario is taken from Mythic Britain and Ireland by Graeme Davis. The name of that scenario (which may contain a mild spoiler) can be found below the music section of these notes. With special thanks to Joseph Chance for his role in creating the world of Heartsholm. The Heartsholm Light itself is inspired by Hanstholm Lighthouse — An Alternative Headquarters, by Morten Greis. You can hear a short prologue to The Company of the Light on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blomqvist-01-ho-153999494 Cast: Lieutenant William Fellwood — Joseph Chance Bab Chase — Dominic Allen Siobhan Strong — Danann McAleer Bridge Ebden — Lucy Farrett Narrator — Dan Wheeler (For Bab Chase family lore, listen to Allhallowstide: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-apocalypse-players-2058667/episodes/allhallowstide-01-marked-by-de-103013020) (For Siobhan Strong family lore, listen to Night of the Hogmen: https://www.patreon.com/posts/73994862) CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. (MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW): The mystery at the heart of this story is premised upon the disappearance and death of a young woman. However, with the exception of one moment (which I will flag when it arrives), this is not dwelt on in any great detail, and please note for avoidance of doubt this is NOT sexual violence or self-harm. 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 and worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will be only too eager to welcome you into the fold.

    …or Prawn Baps & Prawn Paps. In which our band of excise-folk, reunited, attempt a crossing between barrows (of sorts), discover a fine calf or two, debate the better practice of rules implementation and recover phrases by cunning and education. Titles are discussed. Whispers are made… A late Restoration and modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Joseph Chance Cast: Josephine Arundel, Felicity Blake & William Mandeville – Belinda Cornish Chris Caldwell, Jonathan Tatler & Rafe Launceston – Dan Wheeler Max Davenant, Tam Philips & Aspin Drayton – Danann McAleer Charlie Westenra, Luther Eliot Redmark & Elise Farrowvale – Dominic Allen Elizabeth Launceston - Alice Wheeler Keeper of Arcane Lore ­– Joseph Chance CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. PLEASE BE AWARE: From 1:06:40 onwards, the recording has been left ad hoc to include Player conversation and meta-chat, with the deliberate intention of allowing the listener to hear the layers of comprehension and packaging at work and The Players in their more natural habitats. The sound of Dominic eating Pringles is naturally, therefore, VERY present (and I think we would agree, atmospheric for its inclusion). Where Pringles are to be found, speech will inevitably be “potato” influenced. ALSO PLEASE BE AWARE - Red Dwarf Spoiler warning from 1:11:20 to 1:12:20. As ever, human discretion is advised.

  • As The Waters Cover The Sea 19: A Field In England
    Apr 7 2026
    In which our agents of the Treasury move on from interrogation of a messenger to interrogation of a message. The party splits - at the perfect time to do so… A late Restoration and modern era Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Joseph Chance. CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. This episode also contains Tolkeinian satire. As ever, human discretion is advised. Cast: Josephine Arundel, Felicity Blake & William Mandeville – Belinda Cornish Chris Caldwell, Jonathan Tatler & Rafe Launceston – Dan Wheeler Max Davenant, Tam Philips & Aspin Drayton – Danann McAleer Charlie Westenra, Luther Eliot Redmark & Elise Farrowvale – Dominic Allen Alice Wheeler - Elizabeth Launceston Keeper of Arcane Lore ­– Joseph Chance 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).
