LOVECRAFTIAN TALES FROM THE TABLE

H.P. LOVECRAFT, the 20th Century master of horror and weird fiction inspired many followers with his tales of the CTHULHU MYTHOS; besides fiction there have been films, toys and of course, games...

This DVD features the recorded audio tales of tabletop roleplayers as they play through two of the greatest campaigns for Chaosium’s CALL OF CTHULHU roleplaying game. Join the BRADFORD PLAYERS in their epic adventures (and mis-adventures) through HORROR ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS and the MASKS OF NYARLATHOTEP.

Roleplaying games have been around for many years, people getting together to take part in games of the imagination, whether of fantasy, the far future, horror or any other setting you can imagine.

So come pull up a chair at the Bradford Players’ table and see just what fun these games can be!

Besides the game recordings this jam-packed DVD-ROM contains interviews with the likes of Horror writer RAMSEY CAMPBELL, Lovecraftian scholar S.T. JOSHI, game designers and adventure writers, as well as props, trailers, music and a Quick Start Guide to playing Call of Cthulhu (so you and your friends can start to play your own games) and more...
