• Masks of Nyarlathotep Audio Adventure: End Game

    Thus after 26 sessions, over 10 months of play and almost three days of recorded audio, YSDC's Masks of Nyarlathotep audio game draws to a dramatic conclusion.

    The intrepid group, having trotted the globe (partaking of a number of exciting shopping & dining opportunities) finally makes a bid to save the world from the machinations of the mythos. How do they fare? Who will survive? Here's your chance to find out...



    Episode 26 marks 2.7 days of gaming audio.

    Episode #12 onwards marked a dramatic improvement in audio quality with new equipment, better processing and higher bit-rate.

    You can find a selection of materials in support of the audio game via the Cthulhu Wiki including handouts and pictures.

    Thanks to everyone who's been following our adventures, it's been great fun. We have more planned for the future, whether that fills you with joy or dread is another matter!

    This audio is now archived and remains available to YSDC Patrons.

      Well done on reaching the end! I've found this immensely enjoyable and, having crammed it all into the past few weeks, I'm not sure what to do of an evening now! Is Mountains now on the cards?

      We have plans, but we'll hold off saying what they are for the moment. ;)

      Glad you enjoyed it. We had immense fun playing it!

      I, too, have enjoyed "Masks" a great deal. I've yet to listen to the last two installments, but I plan to soon.

      My own gaming group seldom plays CoC (I'm the only rabid cultist of the group, sigh...) so "Masks" has been like a sort of outlet for me, allowing me to vicariously enjoy CoC through the lively personalities of Paul, Helen, Fin, Neil, Abi, and Claire. You all sound like the sort of folks I'd really enjoy gaming with myself, someday. If you're ever in "Lovecraft Country," please let me know!

      Best,

      I've enjoyed the Masks review immensely. Well done all. Kudoes to the speed you finished the campaign, unlike my group which took twice as long and had many more death than your troupe,

      I'm feeling a bit maudlin now. I hope this isn't the end for Fin, Paul, Helen, Neil and Claire. It's been a great ride regardless.

      One aside, I was dissapointed that Ms. Trunchbull didn't go out in a blaze of shotguns and snorting. I do hope Claire is well.

      Noooooooooooo Masks over what am I going to listen to on the bus journey to work now?!

      Well I haven’t listened to the last ep yet. But well done chaps & chapesses, I’ve really enjoyed the campaign. Its been a blast, especially good as I might be running it for some mates this Autumn.

      Ah the hamper’s, the large chests, those great dice rolls, the wonderful deaths, the sanity shattering accents, the food and shopping expeditions. All will be missed.

      Any thoughts on doing a best of compilation. The best deaths, the best sanity loss, that kinda thing!

      Keep up the good work.
      Cheers
      Stev.

      What an epic - I picked up on the podcast halfway through and I've only got as far as Cairo so far. I'm really enjoying it and it certainly brightens my commute to/from work.

      Thanks to Fin and the rest of you for providing so much entertainment. Do you have plans to start another campaign in the near future? If so, I'll definitely tune in.

      As Paul once described the Masks Audio adventure as an 'extended review', how about doing one last 'episode' where you look back over the game, discuss what you liked/didn't like etc. ?
