The Horror Express is such a superb film, I loved it! Not seen it in years, but hearing this reminded me of it, and agree it's possibly been some inspiration for the HotOE Campaign. Such a great idea to recreate as a Call of Cthulhu campaign as well. Great podcast guys, keep up the good work!
Finally caught up on all the episodes, loving the podcast so far. As you've been asking for feedback, one thing I would offer as a note of criticism is that currently the Extras overshadow the actual stories for me - I love hearing your unscripted chats - but it does run the risk of becoming Good Friends mk.II which isn't a bad thing as I'm also a big fan of Good Friends. That being said, if the focus is intended to be on the stories it'd be great to hear more about the process, what were your inspirations for the story from the previous week, was there a draft version with a different ending, what techniques did you use, and more about your backgrounds in writing - so that the Extras feel more supplementary to the main content rather than disconnected. Don't get me wrong (looking at a long paragraph of criticism...) I really enjoy this podcast and you both as creators, and if the show goes unchanged it wouldn't make a difference, I'd show up each week to hear your chats and stories. Just wanted to offer it as an idea to put the stories back at the forefront of Eldritch Stories. All the best chaps, and keep it eldritch!
