Here at the lighthouse we're hunkering down for the solstice, therefore the finale of Missed Dues will be airing on Saturday 27th December. On the plus side, you won't have to wait so long for our latest Autopsy of a Scenario! Have a wonderful festive period, whatever you choose to celebrate!

What a stellar cast! The rest of us mere mortals at Lightless Beacons will be nomming the Eldritch popcorn in the audience! 🎭

@thejunipertree.bsky.social Our very own Lydia has played these, so we highly recommend picking up #HostandHostility. $2.50 is practically daylight robbery!

'Missed Dues' continues with Sticky Jack's mother providing a dubious welcome to their home. Searching the upper floors, all sense of direction and sanity is soon lost.

Thank you very much!

In our latest scenario, Keeper Jae takes us to 1920s Arkham in 'Missed Dues', where four gangsters have screwed up. Badly. And now their boss wants his dues paying.
