About this listen

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: Masks of Nyarlathotep is an epic tale of globe-trotting adventure inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, presented as a 1930s-style radio drama. Dark Adventure Radio Theatre presents the tale with an absurdly large cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and thrilling original music by Troy Sterling Nies.

Now, in partnership with Chaosium, we've adapted their most famed and beloved game supplement of all time - Masks of Nyarlathotep - into a fully dramatized super episode of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre. And if you've never heard of or played the game - don't worry, you don't need to know anything about the game to enjoy this super-sized episode. The death of a dear old friend and an inquiry into a doomed archeological expedition spiral into a global investigation with dire repercussions.

Can a handful of intrepid investigators make a stand against an insidious and bloodthirsty cult? Can a diabolical conspiracy be thwarted before a doomsday plan comes to fruition? Is there any hope for mankind against the machinations of an Elder God or will they meet only despair, death and madness?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Inspired by old school radio theatre, the story takes you through the famous RPG campaign.

The performances are outstanding. You won’t listen to a narration, but rather properly played characters.

Highly recommended.

Brilliant listening

I have played a lot of Call of Cthulhu including a large chunk of this campaign. This adaptation has solid performances, a fun format and a great pulp story. On a binge listen the fake ads were a bit repetitive but didn't spoil the whole thing (format is serialised radio adventure complete with sponsor ads read by the narrator)

Highly enjoyable pulp adventure

This radio play does a great job narrating what is a fairly open RPG module. It links the story and it’s characters together really well. It’s villains are well portrayed and suitably mad and it doesn’t shy away from the horror of its content or the mortality of its cast.

This radio play does a great job keeping the stakes high right to the end. Can’t recommend highly enough.

A really fun adaptation of a really awesome module
