Dear Mr. Tom. I've followed you tor several years since TABS. Some of your new games are hit or miss for my own personal interests, but still you're doing great keep it up. But......... Call of Cthulu ROLEPLAY?????? Sir, you have peaked my interest once again. ONLY an hour and 40 minute video? A little short, but I'm hoping to enjoy the next 2-ish hours. Maybe a sequel??? Shh, no spoilers. Also, love the beard Angory! Dude..... how long has it been since I've been keeping up with ya. Sorry!!!!! (Your first name is Angory, right? I know people call you Tom, but we all know the truth right?)

Simon's character had anthropology literally "the study of humans". Anthropology by definition is the study of the origin and development of human societies and cultures and has 4 general sub fields. Cultural Anthropology (basically knowledge on different human cultures and societies throughout history), Physical / Forensic Anthropology (which covers human bones and development and our evolution from primates) , Linguistical Anthropology (the study human linguistics of a historical nature) , and archeology (the study of historical human tools and artifacts). IE... Simon should have been able to identify the bones with a slight advantage at 1:06:50 (at least as far as confirming if they are human or primate/primative homonid in nature) as that is what is covered by knowledge of anthropology. (if he missed it could have been RP'd he was more focused in one of the other subfields but realistically it is exactly what one would need to confirm if the bones are specifically human or not)

I think the funniest thing about this was explaining that alcohol was very hard to come by in prohibition. It famously wasn't. Since almost everyone loved drinking, people were moonshining, bootlegging, swoondogging and crankshafting as much booze as they could. Speakeasies were common, and given most police officers liked to drink as much as anyone it was much less difficult than it should have been to get them to shut such places down, to say nothing of the mob's bribing them.

@evilgibson 10 ай бұрын

When I played call of Cthulhu rpg a decade or two ago, everyone in our party would drink nonstop just to ignore the horror of everything. We would even get more shit faced after a fight, sitting on top of a giant extra dimensional horror just emptying our flasks down our gullet refusing to believe the thing we were sitting in did not exist

@@MMA-SirOwlbie They're good, yeah! They are definitely very similar to Goosebumps and do very similar tropey children's horror things. But the really cool difference is that every book is technically connected, which is creative and unique. At the end of each book, maybe a year or so after solving their supernatural problem, the main characters go on vacation or some kind of trip to another Michigan town and they run into some kids there that tell them the story that we read about in the following book.

Howard (creator of Conan) were penpals and wrote to each other frequently. Lovecraft's monsters and dark gods even appear in the Conan mythos.

Tom running CoC is some of my favourite youtube content ever, and got me into the game. I’m so happy you’re starting a whole channel dedicated to it! I ran paper chase for a friend a while back and he spent the whole scenario refusing the call to adventure and going partying in town so that he missed the second break-in. The next scenario we played with two friends and when the monster showed up he slipped past it, rolled a 1 for luck, managed to open the door and pissed off into the night leaving the others to their fate. He’s a frustrating guy to play with…
