Critical Role Announce New Horror TTRPG Actual Play Thresher

Critical Role and 12 Sided Studios have revealed a brand-new Horror TTRPG Actual Play.

The new 2-part series, entitled Thresher, is described as:

“The pressure is pushing in from all sides in this wonderfully twisted nautical tale. The crew is stuck in a metal tube, claustrophobia and paranoia creeping inside, while unknown terrors of behemoths and the darkness of the deep sea lurk outside. Keeping with the mysterious spirit of Candela Obscura, nothing is as it seems and time is ticking for this crew. 

Game Master Jasper William Cartwright leads this motley crew of troubled individuals deep into the abyss where hidden horrors and ancient creatures lurk in wait. The crew’s mission? To explore the long-abandoned Rán Boer Station, a geothermal energy facility resting in the ocean’s unforgiving depths—silent, decayed, and WAITING FOR YOU!”

Now, this game is going to be a homebrew using Darrington Press’ Candela Obscura. Matt Linton and Jacqueline Emerson are responsible for creating Thresher. Unlike other Actual Play series that CR has done, this one was filmed in a State Of The Art Green Screen studio, which they said:

“Brings the environments of the deep sea inside the submersible S.S Thresher to an immersive life with the help of Unreal Engine designers.”

The cast for this series is stacked, including:

• Jasper William Cartwright as the Game Master
• Jacqueline Emerson as Emily Wodsworth 
• Abubakar Salim as Daemon Adams 
• Mark “Sherlock” Hulmes aka Mara as Beatrice “Betty” Callahan
• Jane Douglas as Valerie “Val” Sutton
• Noshir Dalal as Hercules De Baudin

This new series will have Episode 1 premiere on April 24th, and the final episode will air 1 week later on May 1st. Episodes will air on Critical Role’s YouTube and Twitch, and on Beacon as well.
