📋 About This Mod
With Halloween coming around again, I decided to take a break from erecting minigun turrets and placing landmines around my settlement to deter trick-or-treaters, and build a radio station. Commonwealth Horror Radio has 50 horror radio plays, and Commonwealth Horror Radio Dark Fantasy has 27 to give you or your settlement the creeps, available as ESL (doesn't eat a mod slot) or ESP.
There's also a holotape hidden in Dunwich Borers called The Dunwich Horror, which won't be airing on the radio. HP Lovecraft wrote the story, and it is the story that the Dunwich Borers area is based on. The holotape play is somewhat abridged from the original story, but it's still a good listen nonetheless.
The Dark Fantasy station has the surviving 27 plays from the series (there was 30, but 3 are lost(1)), and were placed in their own radio station I've also added some music intermissions (keeping with the theme of the mod, and every 10 plays so not constant), and station idents to CHR (not done Dark Fantasy yet). The idents also mention Commonwealth Media Network, which is to do with a couple of things I've got planned, plus most of my mods tend to be old films or radio plays, so it will allow me to be a little bit more consistent (and add a little backstory - apparently my flare(2) has been missing recently).
Please bear in mind that there may be terms or language used that is considered offensive today. These plays were done when the world was a different place, and the terms or language was considered acceptable. I don't condone any slurs against any groups of people (including, but not limited to, race, religion, gender, sexuality and ability), but I'm also not a fan of turning the world into a sugar coated version of reality. Maybe look at it as an example of how far we've progressed since then. There's also advertising in the plays, and this was because they're in the source audio. Some brands are defunct and some still exist, but in any case I DO NOT ENDORSE THE PRODUCTS(3,4).
To get it just choose your flavour, and let your mod manager do it's thing/manual install. It's that simple.
Enjoy/hate/turn into Frankenstein's bride.
Frequency reference: CHR 90. 5, Dark Fantasy 95.
All audio is used in good faith and believed to be in the public domain.
1 - Episodes 2, 22 and 23 are MIA. For more information see http://www.otrr.org/Pages/Pages/Cert_Series/Certified_Series_logs/Dark_Fantasy_32_files.htm .
2 - Spelt "random sillyness".
3 - As no brown envelopes filled with cash have been given to me.
4 - I don't even endorse this mod(5).
5 - Because you can't endorse your own mods on Nexus.
