As with all our Call of Cthulhu actual plays, this episode contains adult themes and content that some listeners may find distressing. 


Immersive and evocative with music, sound effects, and a stunning cast, Lightless Beacons is an Actual Play podcast featuring the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG. Along with actual plays (live plays) of both classic and brand new Call of Cthulhu scenarios, we also feature regular panel discussions.
