Apologies for the poor sound quality in some places. The cleaning program I use normally does a much better job of removing hiss without distorting the audio. This one wasn’t as successful at getting good audio out of the recordings.

Dear MU Podcast, In a recent podcast, you mentioned the ‘bloody falls’ in Antarctica. During a recent ‘Beyond the Mountains of Madness’ campaign that I was running, one of my players sent me the link to the story about ‘the falls’. I immediately decided to incorporate the falls into our game. My idea was that a mythos creature was expelling a blood-like excrement, which was resulting the suspicious looking liquid. The creature I was thinking of is one that you guys talked about in one of your podcasts. As the player characters were flying near the coast, I had them spot a strange land formation in the distance. As they flew over, they saw the strange falls. For handouts, I used pictures of the falls that I found on the internet. Later, they sent a ground team, traveling on skis and dogsleds, to examine the falls. They found a reddish brown pool of steaming liquid that ran over the ice shelf, forming the falls. Around the pool they found many seal and penguin corpses, all drained of blood. Suddenly one of the dogs was grabbed and lifted off the ground by an invisible force. Some unseen thing snapped the dog’s spine like a twig and began feeding on it. That’s when the Star Vampire came into view before them. I used the max stats for the creature, figuring it had been here for sometime, feeding and growing. Surprisingly, the party survived and defeated the creature, thanks to a stick of dynamite and a series of very good rolls. I found a way to weave star vampires into the main elder thing storyline. Later, I arranged for the party’s ship to be overrun by a score of star vampires, which made for an exciting and deadly climax to our 4 year plus campaign. In closing, I want to sincerely thank each of you for the amazing podcast. I have listened to every episode and will continue to do so. I appreciate all the time and work you guys put in. Your ideas ended up influencing our game and making it better. GO PODS!!!!! Sincerely, Crash Monarch
