## Resource

Welcome to a brand new feature on Lightless Beacons: Rekindling. In these occasional mini-episodes, we’ll explore the background settings and influences of our scenarios. Tonight, we ignite the concept of heroes in the Pulp system and genre. Purchase the Pulp Cthulhu Rulebook here: https://www.chaosium.com/pulp-cthulhu-pdf/ Written and narrated by Lydia Featuring our Keeper of Arcane Lore for Slow Boat to China, Heather Episode edited by Lydia, mixed and mastered by Jayson All Lightless Beacons artwork by Jae Jeremiah-Goulding As with all our Call of Cthulhu actual plays, this episode contains adult themes and content that some listeners may find distressing.  Immersive and evocative with music, sound effects, and a stunning cast, Lightless Beacons is an Actual Play podcast featuring the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG.
