Carnagecast 3: Arkham Horror Actual Play, Part 1

Posted on by

In episode 3 of Carnagecast, we do something a little different: an actual play recording of Fantasy Flight Games’ Arkham Horror. Dan, Hunter, Jessica and Tyler send their investigators skulking through the streets of Arkham, Dunwich and Kingsport in search of clues and weapons to fight back the rising of the ancient Nyarlathotep.

Arkham Horror has a deserved reputation for a lengthy game, so this recording is split into multiple parts to defray any sanity loss on the part of its listeners. Watch this feed for future installments.
