    In which two men in a smoking-room are talking of their their private school days… (This episode is meant as a classic ghost story in many ways, but one which adds directly to the narrative of An Uncommon Burial - and which also acts as a form of "recap" for the previous connected scenarios 'A Christmas Inheritance', & 'A Residence at The Bay' [along with the already published first section of this scenario], so...

  • 265 - The Company of the Light (Vaesen) 15: ‘The Aftermaths’ (FINALE)

    …or ‘A Tale of Two Stones and Two Lights.’In which a precious item is taken, one lost is returned, a spell is broken, a man is mended, an evil is scattered, and a company reunited. 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. 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 ChanceBab Chase — Dominic AllenSiobhan Strong — Danann McAleerBridge Ebden — Lucy FarrettNarrator — Dan Wheeler 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.
