Before we begin the episodes proper, we need some structure. This is where the core concept for Heliakon came from, edited to remove the long, sad silences which punctuated this historic recording.

The creative process requires a base from which to build, foundations which can be expanded, altered and negotiated in order to formulate a setting. Enjoy this recording of two middle aged men talking about a fictional setting as we prepare for our journey to Heliakon.

Something rotten rests at the heart of Yaranga, an Australian town with dark secrets. In this ‘proof of concept’ pilot episode of Mythtakes Happen, we create a fictional town with eldritch problems, a self-contained setting you can use in your games of Call of Cthulhu or any other modern horror roleplaying game.
