Penny, surrounded by a veritable hoard of plush beanie babies, has called her Uncles in for a meeting. Surrounded by a menagerie of stuffed woodland creatures, Penny relays that the Faery Punk Mother has heard of a town in Nova Scotia where people are being hospitalized, claiming that something has been buying their wishes and dreams.

Session 2: Welcome to Dolphy’s Cove Part 2
The Uncles approach the strange abandoned Theme Park as dusk approaches. As shadows cast longer and deeper in the Hollow, they know not what they truly face, but they will.

Actual Play - MOTW - The Uncles of Penny Dreadmill - EP 1

“Dear Daddy, hope you come back soon, I’m sad you're possessed by the monster that possessed me, but don’t worry, my Uncles are helping my Faery Punk Mother fight monsters now! Maybe one day they’ll fight the monster in you too! Love, Penny"

Penny Dreadmill is a 6 year old girl who used to be possessed of an outer force. Her uncles stopped that, straight up exorcised her of the darkness and they thought that was that. Well the door in her mind wasn’t fully closed. Slightly ajar, she occasionally gets whispers and warnings of beasties from an entity she calls: Her Faery Punk Mother. Now the Uncles of Penny are directed by her creepy bogeyman stories to go forth and hunt these nightmares.

Session 1: Welcome to Dolphy’s Cove Part 1

“The Kentucky Tree Dolphin” - Penny has been watching videos on YouTube and her Faery Punk Mother told her about a specific video of drone footage that shows a strange abandoned western theme park in Kentucky.

Actual Play - Pulp Cthulhu - Two Headed Serpent - EP 12

To commemorate the conclusion to this second arc of the Two-Headed Serpent, we here at RPX have composed a rhyme for you.
When last left off, our group of investigators went up a mountain to see what they could see.  A portal to another dimension was all that they could see.  So now our investigators go back up the mountain to see what they can see.  Eldritch horrors? A ticking timebomb? Roll sanity!

Actual Play - Pulp Cthulhu - Two Headed Serpent - EP 11

After having discovered a serpent folk structure in the cliffside of a mountain, our brave investigators make a second discovery immediately upon exiting the structure, a very large and angry beast.  If they survive this encounter, then all they need to worry about is the ticking timebomb, the encroachment of the Dreamlands into reality, and a viral outbreak.

Matters are further complicated for the investigators when they learn that the plane they had arrived to North Borneo in was carrying a bomb.  That bomb is now active and will explode.  The investigators now have 24 hours to find a bomb a new forever home or deal with the catastrophic consequences.

After driving deep into the jungle of North Borneo the investigators come upon a clearing and an ancient temple.  Roosted outside the temple are the same strange, winged creatures the party had previously encountered on the plane.  Let’s just say you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

Episode 58 - Scrape Post Mortem

The audio is a little rough on this one.  Our recording bot's recording didn't quite work so I had to rely on a backup one-track OBS recording.  Honestly I thought I had lost this recording too.  

Enjoy and Happy New Years

The job is over and the damage done, but we had to get the gang together for one last look at Scrape, a Red Markets campaign.

Actual Play - Pulp Cthulhu - Two Head Serpent S2 EP 2

When we last left our investigators, their flight to North Borneo had just encountered turbulence.  And by turbulence we are of course referring to strange, winged beasts that have apparently already made off with the pilot.  In this continuation, our investigators must first repel the flying beats onslaught, then land the plane.  Since no one has points in piloting, this is bound to go well.
