EXHUME - Session 117; Part 2
SO MUCH HAPPENS! Back to the main story, Chroma Company delves into both the realm of Sho'neuroth and into the undead catacombs under the city of Old Port. Cypher stays behind, walking into the ether to directly confront the Great Old One. The remaining, questioning, and somewhat mournful party members descend into the realm of the dead. Toward the end of the descent through history they are met with a strange vision from an unknown source before an unknown temple in the murky depths beneath the waters comes into vision.

Horror from a New Player's Perspective, RPG Gifts, and Call of Cthulhu Storytime feat. MacabreDerek
Derek talks to Rayven about her new experiences in horror RPGs. As well, I give away prizes to those who were around in the channel. This is also a sneak peek into the generosity of the community and my desire to help as many people as possible find the confidence within themselves to step up to storytelling outside the comforts of D&D. After that, I sit down and read H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu (for beginning readers) by R.J. Ivankovic and published through Chaosium. You should be able to order this book through your local Friendly Local Game Store.
