Home of the Microphones of Madness Podcast, book discussions and tabletop roleplay.

Rarely stumbling, the Microphones of Madness crew provide powerful insight into the often murky world of &#34;nerdom.&#34; Never afraid to voice their opinions and to go against the prevailing &#34;wisdom&#34; on the subjects that they cover. 

The APs are vastly entertaining, whether it&#39;s the pulp feel of Call of Cthulhu: Masks of Nyarlathotep, the dark brooding of Eclipse Phase: Ozymandias, or the modern take on the Call of Cthulhu Classic: Shadows of Yog Sothoth, they are a gamer&#39;s delight.
