Call of Cthulhu: Trail of the Loathsome Slime


The very first adventure for modern-day Call of Cthulhu, first published in White Dwarf in 1983 and given this full-size treatment in 1985.

Session 1: Didn’t See That Coming: A group of investigators looks into the death of a psychic…

(This first session was recorded mostly face to face, at Whartstock 2025.)

Session 2: You Wouldn’t Knit a Hot Air Balloon: On the road to the South Atlantic.

Session 3: Up the Hemingway: How will our heroes cope when their friends rise up against them?

Session 4: No Viscera To Speak Of: With the ship back in friendly hands (and on the rocks), we try to find out what sort of place we’ve washed up in.

Session 5: The Smell of a Hundred Cloven Sunfish: Chasing the cultist. Where has he gone?

I fear that if I listen to this I’ll hear singing to the tune of Laurel and Hardy’s “On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine.”

For whatever reason this one hasn’t appeared on Apple Podcasts yet

Probably an issue with US infrastructure collapsing around me

It’s in the RSS feed, which is as much influence as I have over iTunes.

Aha, looks as though I duplicated the GUID because I listed this both here and in Whartstock. Apologies, should be corrected soon.
