Back in the summer and the height of the covid-19 pandemic we recorded some special bonus episodes.

Lisa who plays Millicent on our regular D&D podcast was on nightingale duties looking after her family ill with the coronavirus, AND with James who plays Scapes off too as he had no working internet connection, we were faced with the dilema of what else we can do instead.

So with less than 6 hours to prep, we decide to play a new game, none of us have ever played before! Why not?

In the first half we discuss the game mechanics and build some characters together, Dave Pisswinkle – a washed up up conspiracy theorist journalist, Dick Casey – a disgraced ex New York city cop, now making a living as a Private Eye, and we’re joined by our friend Emily playing Dorothy Bridge – an English Professor with a passion for unsolved mysteries….

Can our team of investigators from 1920s era Boston solve the mystery of “The Haunting of Corbitt House”
