Hi /r/callofcthulhu,

Some of you may know me already, but for those of you who do not, I'm DaveahamLincoln, and I operate the On the Remembered Slopes podcast. Since last we spoke, we've started doing interviews about upcoming horror RPGs, as well as playtests. I've also made significant strides in improving the audio quality, and we've brought two new systems on board, with their own GMs and playerbases:

Vampire the Masquerade, captained by Slade, and

Paranoia, with Brian (/u/cursedbythedicegods) at the helm.

I myself am running two games for the podcast at this time. Group C is working through Mansions of Madness before we figure out what's next, and

Group A, my longest-standing group, is embarking on a lunatic adventure of such scope and grandeur that I feel it simply cannot be missed, called "Crazy Train."

What is "Crazy Train," exactly? Well, it's an attempt to run Horror on the Orient Express (arguably one of the most complex and legendary RPG campaigns of all time) in its entirety with the following caveats:

• The GM is not allowed to prep in any way

• The Delta Green rules will be used instead of the original Call of Cthulhu rules.

• The game is set in the modern day. Pisces contacted Delta Green about an anomaly they found in a crumbling WWII-era mansion in the British countryside. A wardrobe, to be precise. The players are agents of Delta Green sent to investigate.

• Since this is a time-traveling game, all characters, villains, and unresolved plotlines from the past 4/5 years of play are considered fair game.

• All reasonable occult entities/practices, fictional characters, and conspiracy theories are fair game.

• We are using this character sheet, which may be amended and/or altered by the GM at any time.

• Jet cannot have guns.

• The gloves are off.

As we approach our 80th episode, I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone in /r/callofcthulhu for their support thus far, and ask any of you that really get some enjoyment out of our content to consider supporting us financially. In the last year, despite all of the work that I, my partners, and our players have put into growing and improving OTRS, we haven't had a single donor to our Patreon. I'm not sure why that is, maybe it's because of a lack of people knowing about it, maybe it's because people secretly think we suck, I'm not sure. (If we suck, please tell me what you'd like us to change, and we'll work on it!)

I've been unemployed for some time, through a combination of factors inside and outside my control. I decided to channel all of my frustrated energy at that fact into making On the Remembered Slopes something special, and I think I've succeeded. I'd like for us to become the best community-focused RPG/Horror podcast on the planet, and I think we've got the right people to do it. Even a small gesture would feel really great to all of us at this particular time. There are lots of really big and exciting things we'd like to start doing, like Lovecraftian radio dramas (think Limetown or Tanis, both of which I highly recommend), call-in shows, and live broadcasts, but we can't do those things without your help. Sadly, we just don't have the money to upgrade our equipment or move to a self-hosted website right now.

We're all going to keep at it, regardless, because we love doing it, but we're ready and willing to do much, much more if that's something y'all want to help make happen.
