The Brotherhood of the Beast
This episode is the biggest and most ambitious yet. Based on the classic Chaosium Call of Cthulhu® adventure "The Fungi from Yuggoth" by Keith Herber, it features Nate Ward, Charlie Tower, and their team of fellow investigators on an epic globe-spanning adventure in pursuit of a dangerous cult. The story is so massive it takes three CDs to hold it all, with a magnificent cinematic score by Troy Sterling Nies. And you can "play" the episode in more ways than one: the third CD features four alternate endings, so you can choose the fate of the characters!
