On this Episode of Under the Library:

In this week’s episode, Eddy recruits Sam to help him dig Buddy out from under the garage. All three of them are beset with visions from their pasts.

Pappy spends some time deciphering the code in the book he found, and realizes Richard wrote it. The book details Richard’s research and describes some strange experiments at the government facility.

Sister B discovers Jo is gone and enlists Pappy to accompany her in pursuit. On the way across town, Sister B stops in a pharmacy to drop off the samples from Richard’s crime scene for blood typing.

Finally, Jo has traveled to the ice cream parlor to track down Betty Lou, who she believes will help her to understand her visions and find the emaciated girl in the cave. Betty Lou agrees to tell Jo the truth of her visions, and her past, but warns her the consequences will be dire.

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 set in (a fictions) 1942 New Mexico and follows the misadventures of Pappy (Chris), Jo (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Sister B (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on 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.
