PLEASE make call of cthulhu a recurring game. I need this in my life

I think we saw Mike and Jerry boiled down to their play styles here. Would support a full time Cthulhu game

I loved this. More CoC please, especially with this cast of characters and the awesome interactions with the setting.

Getting to play with Mike Mason himself, quite something. My group are currently a ways into the famous Masks of Nyarlethotep campaign. Love the elegant simplicity of the system. We've folded part of the "pulp" rules into our game, so we have some talents and enough health if we're careful we may not need to roll up a new character every d6 sessions.

Please return to this in the future. Could be a cool mini-series.

Nice GMing from Mike M. The "neighbors have told me" is a nice way to manage table time and introduce other perspectives quickly/subtly. I was also convinced that Nevada one-shot the main NPC for a second there. Whether he did or not, Mike does a spectacular job withholding information so long as to maximize his options later. He also shows what is possible with a CoC scenario.

@Drewbert101 2 жыл бұрын

My favorite thing about this is that it shows that no matter what system is played, Jerry will critically fail on his roll.

Awesome roleplaying and DMing, very funny and engaging. Spoiler related comment. One thing I'd have done differently was when everyone crawled inside the mausoleum I would have had one person take watch outside while the others explored below. Even though it's dangerous splitting the party I thought it would have been even more dangerous if the groundskeeper was in on it and he or possibly someone else could have closed the lid and locked them all down there with those things, that would have been either a game over or they'd have to have been extremely lucky to try and escape through the tunnel network. Great outcome however, hope to see more to come.

@Idziemel1 Жыл бұрын

He pronounced it right. Corvidae is a latin name of the bird family (including crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, magpies, etc.) but the English word for it is Corvids. The "ae" suffix signifies plural, like the s does in English.

I was surprised how many Sanity checks were made for the same creatures during the same encounter. I would have thought that the first SAN check made when the party first the claw, would have sufficed.

@zacharyjohnson4625 4 жыл бұрын

You can lose up to the maximum amount of sanity possible for a particular monster. A ghoul can cause you to lose 6 sanity max so if you rolled a 1, then you'd have to roll again for the next ghoul you see. Once youve reached that cap then seeing the samw creature wont cause any more sanity loss. At the end of a session you'd remove a point. So if you had lost 6 sanity total for seeing ghouls, youd be fine for the rest of the session. At the end that 6 would fall back to 5, and 1 more after each session.

Well, science is not a body of knowledge, but a way of thinking, so the fact that Keiko did found something absolutely unknown it would mean just that a deeper understanding of the so-called occult is needed, but that it's still just a part of the natural world and that it can also be studied using the scientific method. I wonder why i don't ever get invited to play Call of Cathulu tho.

Is there ever a member of the group who is actually a deep cover agent for the cult? And they suddenly reveal themselves as the villain and become a recurring enemy for future games?
