Earlier today (or yesterday, depending on your time zone) the final episode of our blockbuster actual play series Graveyards of Arkham premiered on Twitch TV - if you missed it, don't worry, it will be up on the Chaosium YouTube channel on Sunday at 2:30pm PT / 5:30pm ET.
Thank you to all the viewers who have watched the show as it unfolded over the past six episodes - especially if you participated in the live Twitch thread, or commented on YouTube. The comments have been almost entirely positive and encouraging: it seems people absolutely loved the show - and would love us to do more - which is very gratifying for all the cast, crew and creative team involved. Let's give them the recognition they deserve:
Many thanks to the amazing cast:
Keeper of Arcane of Lore, Mark Meer
And doughty investigators
Josephine McAdam
Patrick Logan
Lucia Versprille
and Noura Ibrahim
Plus our wonderful guest NPCs!
Andrew Leman
Paula Deming
Belinda Cornish
and Becca Scott
And many thanks to the professionals behind the scenes, without whom the show could not have been made:
First and foremost, we'd like to highlight the fiendish imaginations of Graveyards of Arkham co-writers Belinda Cornish and Darren Ormandy (they wrote the predecessor series Bookshops of Arkham too!).
In Los Angeles, many thanks to producers Becca Scott, Jake Michels and Matt Moynihan at the Good Time Society studio, Director Jake Michels, Costume Designer Alicia Silverstein, Editor Garrett Johnson, Production Designer Daniel Baxter, Director of Photography Nate Cornett and all of the rest of the hardworking production crew.
Chaosium's James Coquillat and David Naylor did a sterling job in post production, getting all the episodes ready for release. Thanks also to Call of Cthulhu creative director Mike Mason, and to Chaosium staff artist Ossi Hiekkala who made the spectacular Graveyards of Arkham Official Movie Poster.
And props to prop makers Gina DeVivo and Katie Michels made the unnervingly realistic human torso cake that features in the production (yum yum!):
We'd also like to thank our friends at Roll20 who co-sponsored the show, and whose interface on screen ably helped viewers see how the Call of Cthulhu game actually works in play, e.g.:
And biggest thanks of all to the Graveyards of Arkham Kickstarter backers! Putting together an actual play show of this production quality and level of talent was costly (but worth it!) As we have said time and again, we couldn't have done it without you!
