I got super excited when I realized that the Migginses were back. Putting the world's cutest older couple in a world of horror and madness is always a good idea.

@zoldu Ай бұрын

love this power couple, nothing stops them being wholesome while trotting through eldrich horror

@amelialawrence8820 Ай бұрын

Mystery Quest is one of my favorite things the Yogscast has produced and I have been watching since 2015. You are doing great Tom!!

@dgenaraition Ай бұрын

this is very true, I used to always go back and rewatch the old yogsquests and theyre still iconic but getting what is essentially a weekly yogsquest is so good

@peterbrazier7107 Ай бұрын

i have only been watching these videos for a couple of months, only one of our RPG groups can do voices like the Yogscast can.

The music cut at 33:56 is just so powerful geez 😂 The cut to commercial prolonging the silence was unfortunately perfect too, because I was just so flabbergasted I needed to recompose myself 🥲

Im so happy to see tom b playing archie again, as well as ravs and harry playing the miggins, and last but not least it's always a pleasure to see lewis roleplaying, im honestly disappointed we're not seeing the return of john steel, cat killer, despite his untimely demise.

Holy shit the music cut at 33:55 had me in fucking tears. I really love the editing and think it's only gotten better since the start of MQ, also love the cast so much they're such a blast to watch!

@kevingluys3063 Ай бұрын

The key to surviving a game of Call Of Cthulhu is to play a character that belongs on It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. That way you're in a Clark Ashton Smith story and you've got a chance.

@Shenaldrac Ай бұрын

I think it depends on the GM. If they're the right type you can save your character by having them be unambiguously sweet and loving with a spouse, especially if they're middle aged or older. Some GMs will balk at causing a horrific bad end to the sweet elderly couple. This can work great if the spouse is another PC. Cause unless you're a real monster you will feel like absolute *scum* for killing the little old lady who's always doing some knitting and talking about her grandchildren. And there's this asshole mobster PC _right there_ who you'd feel way less bad if they died instead!

I always love it when old characters return in CoC, I absolutely loved Archie and the Migginses. The moment I saw Lewis and I knew this session would be amazing, I absolutely love him in every role play video he's been in from Ameebo to John Steel.

Migginses are back. Lewis is here. And look, it's Oscar's predecessor! Be prepared! 33:57 - you can tell Ravs is the manliest of them all. He calls Rupert's state "just a bad cold"

September is actually a wonderful month for New England, you still have hot days but it's starting to get cool. Nowadays every few years we get a hurricane in September but in classic Lovecraft times that would be unheard of. Such weather was so rare that no one believed my great great uncle when he was a young meteorologist and tried to warn people about the hurricane of 38. So if you ever want to do something unexpected for 20s New England have a elder god of the sea cause a hurricane
