The Company of the Light (Vaesen) 15: ‘The Aftermaths’ (FINALE)
…or ‘A Tale of Two Stones and Two Lights.’ In which a precious item is taken, one lost is returned, a spell is broken, a man is mended, an evil is scattered, and a company reunited.

(MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW): The mystery at the heart of this story is premised upon the disappearance and death of a young woman.

The Company of the Light (Vaesen) 08: ‘A Field in England (Again)’
In which our keen beans are up with the lark and on the trail of something. Or a trail, or something, or someone is having a lark. There’s definitely a lark, I can tell you that much. The Company of the Light uses the Vaesen roleplaying system, by Free League Publishing and based an original concept by Johan Egerkrans. The mystery at the heart of the scenario is taken from Mythic Britain and Ireland by Graeme Davis. The name of that scenario (which may contain a mild spoiler) can be found below the music section of these notes. You can hear a short prologue to The Company of the Light on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blomqvist-01-ho-153999494 Cast: Lieutenant William Fellwood — Joseph Chance Bab Chase — Dominic Allen Siobhan Strong — Danann McAleer Bridge Ebden — Lucy Farrett Narrator — Dan Wheeler CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. (MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW): The mystery at the heart of this story is premised upon the disappearance and death of a young woman. However, with the exception of one moment (which I will flag when it arrives), this is not dwelt on in any great detail, and please note for avoidance of doubt this is NOT sexual violence or self-harm. Human discretion is advised. The Apocalypse Players is an actual play (or live play) TTRPG podcast focused on horror tabletop roleplaying games. Think Dimension 20 or Critical Role, but fewer dragons, more eldritch horrors, and more British actors taking their roleplaying very seriously (most of the time). We primarily play the Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu, but have also been known to dabble with other systems, most of which can be found on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/apocalypseplayers We now have a free Discord server where you can come and worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will be only too eager to welcome you into the fold.

The Company of the Light (Vaesen) 03: ‘Twas Brillig…’
…‘and a Wet and Gribbly Bibbling Was a’Babbling.’ In which our intrepid heroes go shopping (and genuinely pay money for old rope), brave the horrors of the vicarage, and try to remain stoic in the face of the most frightful of horrors: a housekeeper, an outhouse, a breeze, and soft furnishings. The Company of the Light uses the Vaesen roleplaying system, by Free League Publishing and based an original concept by Johan Egerkrans. The mystery at the heart of the scenario is taken from Mythic Britain and Ireland by Graeme Davis. The name of that scenario (which may contain a mild spoiler) can be found below the music section of these notes. You can hear a short prologue to The Company of the Light on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blomqvist-01-ho-153999494 Cast: Lieutenant William Fellwood — Joseph Chance Bab Chase — Dominic Allen Siobhan Strong — Danann McAleer Bridge Ebden — Lucy Farrett Narrator — Dan Wheeler CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. (MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW): The mystery at the heart of this story is premised upon the disappearance and death of a young woman. However, with the exception of one moment (which I will flag when it arrives), this is not dwelt on in any great detail, and please note for avoidance of doubt this is NOT sexual violence or self-harm. Human discretion is advised. The Apocalypse Players is an actual play (or live play) TTRPG podcast focused on horror tabletop roleplaying games. Think Dimension 20 or Critical Role, but fewer dragons, more eldritch horrors, and more British actors taking their roleplaying very seriously (most of the time).

The Company of the Light (Vaesen) 02: ‘Pendle Mint Cake’
…or ‘Trollbangers’. In which the uneasy companions settle into their new home, one of them receives a letter from an old friend, and a name is given to the society. The Company of the Light uses the Vaesen roleplaying system, by Free League Publishing and based an original concept by Johan Egerkrans. The mystery at the heart of the scenario is taken from Mythic Britain and Ireland by Graeme Davis. The name of that scenario (which may contain a mild spoiler) can be found below the music section of these notes. With special thanks to Joseph Chance for his role in creating the world of Heartsholm. The Heartsholm Light itself is inspired by Hanstholm Lighthouse — An Alternative Headquarters, by Morten Greis.
