Watch as we sweep away the sands to reveal the horrors of The Necropolis...
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 5th Nov 2026

'The Necropolis' in Gateways to Terror is a fantastic intro scenario for Call of Cthulhu, and here in this game recorded at Scryglass Studio we show a way to make it even more fun — because the player characters are archeologists exploring an Egyptian tomb, the map gets slowly revealed by brushing the sand away...

Join two Call of Cthulhu first timers (Dean Rankine and Molly Broadstock) and two seasoned investigators (Sasa Lestrange and Kat Clay) as they risk life and sanity braving the depths of a (real!) sandy crypt. The Stream of Chaos's James Coquillat is the Keeper.
Gateways to Terror is available in print from Chaosium.com (price includes PDF), at DriveThruRPG, on Roll20, and Fantasy Grounds.

This actual play recording was filmed at Scryglass Studio, a venture by Jackson Heenan of the Stream of Chaos. Jackson describes it as a "creative-space-for-hire, specialised for board games and RPGs, combining elements of a theatre venue and podcast studio". This is first space of its kind in Melbourne, Australia. We at Chaosium wish Jackson all the best with his exciting new venture!
