"...the expedition - it wasn't what you think. I need your help!"
Like many Lovecraft fans, we played Chaosium's celebrated role playing game Call of Cthulhu®. 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 6 disc 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?
Masks of Nyarlathotep is a sprawling tale spanning five continents, and even its most basic version includes six CDs brimming with audio thrills. Enjoy a Dark Adventure over seven hours in length! This super-sized DART set includes twenty props to enhance your listening experience, including:
- Seven intriguing items from Jackson Elias' room at the Hotel Chelsea
- A ghastly crime scene photo
- Weirdly futuristic schematic drawings
- A photo of the ancient Egyptian relic - the Eye of Light and Darkness
- A clipping from the Nairobi Star about the fate of an expedition
- A photo of ruins in Australia's Great Sandy Desert
- A translation from the rare occult tome, the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan
- Plus seven more gloriously detailed props for you to enjoy spanning all six episodes of the story
All of these great extras will be complemented by the fantastic artwork of illustrator Darrell Tutchton in the style you've come to know and love from other episodes of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®. Orders for the CD version include a free digital download of the show.

Once you've downloaded and unzipped that file, you can sync our shows onto your phone or tablet for mobile listening. It's also worth noting that Masks is a 600+Mb download.
