Once upon a time, four bros stayed sane during COVID by playing amazing ttrpg games like Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, Aliens and D&D.

"What if we buy high quality mics and record ourselves in case anyone else might enjoy listening in to our insanity?"

No ads, no patreon. Give us a listen!

Operation: Blackstar is here. Our second campaign dives into Delta Green horror — Mi-Go, Majestic-12, paranoia, and all the alien weirdness that comes with it. Built on years of table chemistry.

Some real heavy hitters in here! Shadowdark is magnificent and Deep Cuts makes Blades even better than it already was! 2024 was a good year.

Do you think that the promised Shadowdark setting built out of the Cursed Scroll zine mini-settings could be what you’re after?
