  • Jumping back on the train of horror

    Listened to you guys a lot around 2015-2017, because I was so interested, but I never found a gaming group, so I kinda fell off.

    But this Xmas, my fiancé gave me the CoC starter kit and is helping me find a game. I’m super excited to jump back on this very informative train of horrors!
