Bards of the Badlands

About Bards of the Badlands

We are a bi-weekly, horror, actual play podcast focusing on the Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons and Dragons systems. Our scenarios range from time tested classics by well known scribes of the unknown to never before revealed fables of our own horrifying design. We, your humble bards, wish to regale you with tales of eldritch abominations and sinister madmen all the while, in our own lives, offering sacrifices to satiate the most terrifying creatures imaginable.... our wives and children. So sit back, relax, tighten up your straight jackets, and let us take you down the spiraling descent into madness.
