The smell of acrid gunsmoke marks the beginning of a final, bloody conflict in the First St. Mary's Church of Norfork - but to end it will require sacrifice. May a god have mercy on their souls.

We will stop it. We will bring her back. We are only endangering ourselves this time.
You dangle a child's life in your hands, can't you see them?
There are countless children, lost now. Will you try to stop us?
If I could, you would never have found this place...

Pest Control is an actual-play tabletop horror RPG podcast produced in association with AltHaven (@AltHaven_). Our second season uses “Monster of the Week”, a Powered by the Apocalypse system by Michael Sands and Evil Hat Productions. You can pick up a copy here.

Season two, “Norfork”, follows a trio of friends living in the edge-city of Norfork as the community adapts to the open presence of Myriads and the encroachment of The City.
