The Palimpsest Society is a fellowship of curious minds drawn to the histories others overlook, the records that contradict one another, and the unsettling details that refuse to disappear. Its members understand that the past is never fully erased or truly hidden. Like the writings beneath the surface of an old manuscript, it leaves traces for those willing to open their minds and look closer than one would normally see.

Evoking the guarded traditions of secret orders and esoteric societies, The Palimpsest Society invites you into a world of hidden knowledge, unanswered questions, and discoveries that carry a cost. Across different decades of American history, new investigators confront the eldritch horrors of their time. Their lives and circumstances change, but the question endures: what lies beneath the story we have been told?

Their investigations unfold through a bi-weekly Arcisodic (arcs are like series or seasons but may have different actors in any explored decade) Call of Cthulhu actual play podcast, guided by Co-Host and Keeper of Arcane Lore Ryan McLaughlin and shaped by the choices of its players.

You are invited to listen, look closer, and discover what the next layer reveals wherever you get your podcasts.
