I'm starting to use Pinterest to collect images that I show my players during game sessions. Here's a pin board for this session:

Episode 14 is available.

Delphi: 52 AD
The players meet with the Oracle of Delphi, who sends them to Mt. Pastra where they must "slay the herd to save the herd" in their quest for the Scion of Vulcan.

This is a special episode that required quite a bit of preparation and editing after the fact. I had a friend Skype in as the Oracle on my TV, had my house decorated and set up with candles, incense, etc. We had a bit of live-action roleplaying at the beginning of the session, followed by more tabletop gaming. Some photos:

Finally played another session last night - I'll have the session up soon. We're getting pretty close to the finale! While I've enjoyed running this campaign, I'll be honest and say that I'm eager to complete it and get onto something new, less pulpy, and more traditionally CoC...

I really enjoy listening to how your group plays the campaign.
Do you think you'll record other games you play after this is wrapped up?

Depends on the group, I'm certainly willing to try it. This group of players does a lot of off topic chit-chat...sometimes I've editing a bit of it out when it delves into personal areas.

After this campaign is over I'll probably just run one-shots for a while, I tend to take a year or so off between campaigns...

That makes sense. The long ones can take a lot out of you.
