Bards of the Badlands
We are a bi-weekly, horror, actual play podcast focusing on the Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons and Dragons systems. Our scenarios range from time tested classics by well known scribes of the unknown to never before revealed fables of our own horrifying design. We, your humble bards, wish to regale you with tales of eldritch abominations and sinister madmen all the while, in our own lives, offering sacrifices to satiate the most terrifying creatures imaginable.... our wives and children. So sit back, relax, tighten up your straight jackets, and let us take you down the spiraling descent into madness.

Our investigators venture further into the wilds of Canada until they reach their destination. What secrets lie within the secluded boarding school? Surely nothing nefarious...

A teenage boy, a symbol carved in his chest, the great wilds of Canada, and a Catholic boarding school. All the pieces needed to set the stage for our very first self composed scenario. Follow as a priest, a native woman, and a cowboy (not they don't walk into a bar) set off to investigate potentially ominous events at a secluded, religious place of learning.

It's a shame that neither of the good doctors is a medical doctor, for they will likely need one after confronting what they have awoken. Will they survive the horror in the darkness or will this place also become THEIR tomb?

Behold, the Badland Bards approach...
We are the newest TTRPG actual play podcast to make ourselves known in the vast wasteland that is the inter-web. We focus mainly on the Call of Cthulhu system by Chaosium, but will occasionally dip our toes into other systems such as DnD 5th Edition. Our first offering to you, our lovely audience, will be the full three parts of our playthrough of The Necropolis from the Gateways to Terror collection by Chaosium.
From there we will mix in scenarios in weekly installments from various writers and publishers, including works of our own sick composition. This Halloween we shall arrive with ghastly tales aplenty. We look forward to captivating and horrifying you in the day, weeks, years, or millennia to come.
