Cantrips and Coffee

A tale of flying books? A suspicious narrative of poltergeists? While our members of the Folly may be skeptical about the book shop employee's story, they can't quite pin down why it doesn't add up. Join us for the conclusion of The Bookshop, the beginner adventure included in Rivers of London, the new TTRPG by Chaosium. Well known for their Call of Cthulhu, just how well does an adaptation of the novels by Ben Aaronovitch work? Listen and find out!

Our investigators, not yet formally associated as The Society, have arrived at Joshua Winscott's home to hear of mysterious tunnels being uncovered. In the middle of the night, they hear the cries of Josh being ripped from his bed and drug into the depths below the house. We begin as they stare into the dark, wondering if they dare follow.

The Society for Transcendental Sciences is an elitist club for the academics, the wealthy, and the socially advanced. Touting itself as a gathering for those who wish to see "mysticism and discipline coalesce", many assume the society seeks a grander vision of the world and are funded by the ultra rich. It doesn't help that the club seems to have a plethora of "anonymous donors" that allow it to afford whatever its heart desires. Newspapers swirl with rumours of their seedy dealings and control of the world economy but the truth is even more alarming. The Society is a ruse.

GODS is a dark fantasy that harkens back to Conan and Beast Master. The twist? Each character can imbue themselves with powers from their gods by creating their own custom one. If you've been with us for awhile, you know we've been excited for this since season 1, and Arkhane Asylum did not disappoint.

What began as a simple plan to break into a mall and steal the year's hottest toy has taken a turn.
