As someone who knows absolutely nothing about RPGs, Dom is really carrying this for me. Everyone else is hilarious and clearly having fun, but Dom is just brilliant. He's making the rules easy to follow, his narration is incredibly immersive, and he's getting to flex his considerable acting chops. Hopefully he sees this comment or someone shows him because he's really outdone himself.

"It is Pea Soup...sir." "Were you listening?" Underrated joke

Tilly's "She's playing hard to get, Dom!" got to me. This is going to be a fun ride

I'd love it if roleplaying became more common on this channel, you have such a good cast for it

totally losing it at Brooke Bourgeoisie's bf playing 'river proletariat'. vvvv good joke Sullivan

“And uh…I’m drunk.” This is going to be the best

Dom is killing it with that mustache and presentation!

”But if you're not familiar with roleplaying games...“ *Aweeee they think about us Basic Boardgame Bitches too* 🥺🥺

I love how the "french" guy had a german accent, and how the priest totally wasn't a conman

This is so exciting! New camera angles, elaborate fancy costumes, space for Dom to let his wonderfully evil character shine… this is going to be great

Love that the concept behind this channel isn't really board games, it's "I have talented friends, look at my fun and talented friends." Great work from Dom here, really brought the game to life

The candlestick, the revolver, the Colonel, Scarlett, the map of the house - this is wonderful stuff! Who amongst us HASN'T been sent insane by a family game of Cluedo?

That bit with Dom as the Colonel talking about the gas. What a brilliant bit of acting, the way he struggles to say it, almost wants to say more and has to put the facade on again to hide the pain. Actually rather impressive

How nice to see Dom evolved into a full on Vaudvillain.

Dom deserves a mustache break, that thing is magnificent

9:26 Dom: "This is a fantasy, so you can be whatever and whoever you want, let your wildest dreams run free." Laurie: "My guy's going to be merely bald-ING!"

I've got to say, Dom is quickly becoming my favourite on this channel... his portrayal of the characters was amazing! top marks Dom

Dom is bloody amazing at storytelling. The atmosphere was great throughout. Absolutely loved it!

OH MY GOD THE INTRO! The shade he gave to Adam sitting right on his left, smiling. DOM IS HILARIOUS! I LOVE THIS.

Tilly was such a delight in this!!! Playing a sad little man that can't catch a break is so... suiting for her, for whatever reason.

Welcome ... to Clue of Cthulhu! PS: Loving Tilly's portrayal of Harry Peeps!

I always figured when they did an rpg it'd be Tom as DM but Dom is excellent here. Really great stuff, can't wait for more!

oh my what is this unexpected saturday surprise

And the detective leans in and inspects the body for a brief moment. Then leans back and says, "Mmmh indeed, this man is dead, and he died by someone ramming their entire arm in to his chest." XD

The only question in CoC worse than "Who has the worst Luck" is "Who has the best perception" :D

Appreciation for how cute Tilly's outfit is, that is all

Teri has to be the clear MVP of this video - well edited and love the subtlety of all the sound effects!

Dom is killing this, also heavily invested in Harry Peeps search for love

Holly aggressively shoving her hand where it has no business being shoved into. More please!

Dom knows the truth. Dragons are people too. He is now my new favorite person.

Dom really uncapped all his charisma here. This is amazing.

Dom straight up looking amazing, the appreciation for his mustache isn't unwarranted

Dom is a really great Keeper! Building up tension, acting, descriptions and even after the cast joke for a while, they go silent as he continues this story. Awesome, and I know, I'll have to check his podcast now. Big credit to all the players but I have to say, I'm amazed how great of a roleplayer Tilly is! She's totally different person than we know from the board games videos. It's a shame we'll have to wait for another episode, I'll watch the whole thing straight away.

Dom is doing a fantastic job as GM. The rest of the cast are fleshing out their characters really well too. The storytelling has me so engaged and I can’t wait for more. Also…I love that the map of the house is the map of the Cluedo house.

Can I just put out there that Dom is one of my absolute favourites on NRB. He makes me laugh so much and I really want to be friends with him because he is weird and quirky and passionate and endearing and charming. Absolutely love the fact he is DM'ing in this.

To anyone who loves this game and hasn't looked up The Apocalypse Players podcast, do yourself a solid and listen to the podcast. In particular The Machine Tractor Station Kharkov-37. It is a phenomenal scenario played brilliantly

Less than 30 seconds in and I already need more Dom with a curly mustache and more Sullivan with a beret

The quick switch of accents and personalities for Dom is drawing me into this so hard.

I like that Dom personalized Terie's NPC by making her a French maid, because (as has been subtly hinted on the channel several times) I think Terie might be French.

How come nobody told me Dom was such a good DM? This blindsided me in the exact same way Tom did playing storyteller in blood on the clocktower

“Cause they don’t have feelings, do they? Don’t have ambitions or families.” That just got dark very fast

Ooooh, Don being a games master! What a great treat for October and for my birthday!! 🦑🎃🦑

Six minutes in and Sullivan has an outrageous accent. It's going to be good. 😆

Alright, who's idea was it to give Dom power? You all know how drunk he gets on power. In all seriousness, this should be a great mini series! I can't wait for the next 2 episodes!

I'm sorry but I'm absolutely losing it at the old collector man and the dead guy's dead son's widow having a casual chat about his collection literally right next to rhe actual body. Absolutely cold.

"Leave the lady alone!" And I already like that character. Nice Guy Behaviour

Dom is just an amazing DM. The way he portraits every charcter... simply marvelous.

Also, everyone looks so dapper

That intro is incredible

This is absolutely brilliant. 10/10 entertainment. Watched a lot of role play boardgames, including Lovecraft scenarios, but the atmosphere, the music, the storytelling and the endurance of the players in sticking to their roles and what they know and focus on is absolutely top notch!

Not gonna lie... I had to watch the "bleached-blonde idiot" intro line about a dozen times before I could continue. It just gets funnier with every play.

As someone who absolutely loves both Call of Cthulhu and your channel, I can't tell you how excited I am for this!!!

I love the idea of playing Call of Cthulhu using the Cluedo mansion!

Coming back to watch this after it led me down a rabbit hole of podcasts and source books. Damn you and thank you.

No Rolls Barred plays ... Cthul-Clue!

Me: Opens phone, sees Dom behind the screen on a game of Call of Cthulhu, changes pants after a bit of a mishap, opens phone again, presses play, smiles.

I freaking love the costumes

YEEESSSS DOM IS IN CHARGE TODAY LETS GO!

Thanks. It is rare to hear people reckoning that Call of Cthulhu wasn't invented by Lovecraft alone. Indeed, Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith played a significant part.

When i saw Stalin as DM, i knew this was going to be good.

Dom the best boi running Call Of Cthulhu it's like Kalloween has come early.

A gigantic compliment to Dom! He makes the story so exciting and authentic! I love his style!

Damn, why is everyone so handsome. My bi panic is skyrocketing😂

I've noticed from the times that they've done role playing that despite the fact that, unlike most of the crew on NRB, Laurie didn't go to acting school and is not a professional actor, he's really good at it!

i missed my flight home due to public transit issues and watching this while i was stuck in the airport has kept me from panicking all day 🥰 never doubt the good you do, NRB!

"as if someone is walking heavily on two sticks in the dining room" I fully expected Barmia Pots to show up.

Dropping in to HIGHLY recommend the Apocalypse Players podcast. I’m only a few episodes in (thanks to it being plugged here) and it’s some top notch actual play.

Dom is engaging, mesmeric, enthralling and utterly bewitching!! One of the finest GM/DM/Keeper performances yet witnessed. So looking forward to part 2!!

Tilly is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs

Hearing how excited Teri got that her name was used for a character in the game, I'd love it if they added a 'Teri Cam' to show her reactions to certain things.

I'm only 28 minutes in and I had to pause the video to tell you how much I love this. The ambience is fantastic, Dom's storytelling is great, the character work, dress, and mood setting is beautiful, I just love all of this and will definitely be watching for all 3 parts. Alright back to it bye.

I just realized, Dom give me strong Jared Harris vibes. It's appropriate, really.

The surprise upload of this video is proof that there is a God. And he is merciless. And his name is Dominic Allen.

Oh Gods.... Someone put Dom in charge. How the hells did they get him out of the room after? His head would have expanded with all the power given to him. 😆🤣

I stumbled across NRB when their playing Jamaica was a fresh upload. I have done much catching up since, days and days worth of watching and rewatching. It feels about time I commented again though as I think this video is certainly worthy! Dom is an excellent D/GMaster. Loving the storytelling, and getting drawn in by the evolving narrative, although I am slightly distracted by the magnificent ‘stache. It's oddly satisfying to see Adam with his wings clipped, it feels an easy balance. The production is fabulous. From titular credits to thunder and lightning fx, to incidental music, to dice graphics, to ad break markers... these productions are getting better and better every week! Not sure this gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I look forward to the next instalment... Even if it's another week away! * sobs gently but still not as pathetically as ‘Harry’ *

So anyone else want Dom running Call of Cthulhu on this channel a regular thing?

i ❤️ Dom, he's really such an amazing Keeper. glad to see a plug for Apocalypse Players, which remains my absolute favorite Call of Cthulhu podcast to date!

Love finding out about Dom's podcast, I wasn't very familiar with games like this before this channel and I adore Dom so a podcast with this sort of game is amazing.

Watching Dom come for 5e was more enjoyable than I care to admit! (For context, I love 5e, D&D was my first roleplaying game, but I've spent years trying to get people to play something that isn't D&D so there's a strange sort of joy in seeing people sass it) Also, damn what a game. By the time Sully had introduced his character I was thinking 'well this is going to be a beautiful disaster'. Can't wait for the next two parts. AMAZING WORK NRB!

It's gotta be the butler, it's always the butler

This makes me so happy, been hoping you guys would incorporate more RPGs and Call of Cthulhu is perfect for fun one-shots.

If I were Jewish I would be unable to stay Kosher. Since Dom's Ham is just too good.

This and blood on the clocktower live this month hopefully. NRB are really spoiling us.

Goddamn, Dom is magnificient as a DM! Ooh, I can't wait to see how this unfolds...

Oh lord this might be the best day ever.

I literally cannot recommend The Apocalypse Players enough - I’ve been listening to it non-stop over the last few months and it’s absolutely brilliant. Haven’t even watched this video yet but I know it’ll be superb!

Oh yeah, a full costume, multi-part role playing game series for halloween

Omg this is such a wonderful surprise! I was just running out of the Apocalypse players to listen to and now Dom’s brought the mythos to draughts!

i have been waiting for a TTRPG on this channel for so longgggg finally my prayers have been answered

I love that the NPCs are characters from Clue! This is excellent.

I didn't know I needed Dom as a GM but seeing him in that chair something feels right

ok hold on hold on hear me out - Harry Peeps = H . P. (lovecraft)????????

Ah, Nathaniel Fairmont! Another addition to the Fairmont family (from the first CBW one-shot lol)

Dom is such a dapper lad

I was enthralled. Three episodes is not going to be enough.

This was absolutely amazing and I am SO excited for the rest!! Reminds me of the Clue movie with Tim Curry 😄 The only thing that bothered me was Tom basically ignoring the fact that his character ROLLED A 94 FOR SANITY right at the beginning, but it didn’t really fit the character he wanted to play, so he basically ignored it. Kind of wished he would’ve figured out a way to make that roll make sense for his character instead of disregarding it 🤷🏻‍♀️ but still a fantastic video!!!!

When Don said, "who brings a gun to a dinner party?" First thing I thought was, this isn't taking place in the states.

Haha nerds!! I wish I had friends to do this with me… 😔
