About Under the Library - A Call of Cthulhu Podcast

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 currently set in (a fictions) 1942 New Mexico and following the misadventures of Colette (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Sister B (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on roleplaying, 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.

   UtLS4E31: Plus a Spudbar

   On this episode of Under the Library, a Call of Cthulhu Podcast: Colette checks in with Amanda and together they explore one of Lancelot’s “significant places in town.” They manage to break the concrete and rebar lid with some creative levering, and then descend into the tunnel. In Sam’s room, Buddy talks to the book about Sam’s horrifying sketches and then feels compelled to talk to Sam directly. At the same time, Sam is in the clinic sharing a breakfast with Amos. Doc checks his back and finds that it’s infected, so he administers another shot. Finally, at Bawdy Bill’s, Lancelot orders the special drink they give to residents who need to relax. The bartender asks him if he’s seen Randy and Lancelot wonders out loud if he’ll ever see Randy again. ------------------------ Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor.

He leads Randy to the pond in the back of the garden and tries to force Randy to reveal the location of his passcard.

Later, Lancelot changes back into his normal clothing and heads to Bawdy Bills to return Lou Ellen’s outfit. Upstairs in her room, Lancelot once again finds himself craving a whiskey. Buddy checks on Sam, who is covered in blood with a huge gash on his back. He and Johnny retrieve first aid supplies from the nearby camp, treat Sam, and head back towards town and the clinic. With Amos in the other room Doc sews Sam’s back wound, but he doesn’t believe a bit of the story of the Beast of Bloodstone. ------------------------ Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor.
