Betrayal. Genius - YOINK

The prop kit from HPLHS is amazing!

thanks for your videos on the campaign, they've been super helpful ! 🙏

By any chance could you give more details on the type of magic used to cure Eloise Vane of her curse and what the costs and materials were? Thanks!

Funny. I'm about to run this for my group starting tomorrow night. I appreciate your insights, I'm finding them really helpful in these final stages of session prep.

I have really been wanting to run KULT: Divinity Lost but this concept of using the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse is really nifty. Going to check this one out.

Do you think you'll do a video on the arkham horror rpg?

Didnt know you were getting into Kult Divinity Lost. I dont know if the system is for me but i have enjoyed Seth Skorkowskys videos on the system so i expect ill enjoy your Kult content as well

thanks for this my friend it is appreciated

Thank you so much for this video! I started playing America with my player and then we had a 6 month break because of scheduling issues and this was perfect to remember the key points in short time! Thanks ❤

Thank you so much for this! Trying to keep my players on their toes for this chapter!

Is Alexander Catcott really a real person? I can't find any info about him, can you help me, please?

Excellent work thank you! its sounds like it was really light on preparation requirements?

Thank you for the review! I like how you give ideas on how to modify the scenario.

Hello, great video thank you, CoC is my go to rpg, however I'm struggling to find a hardback book in the uk Any one know where I can purchase this book in the UK please Thank you.

Sounds like you had fun. What kinds of mechanics for diving are used in the scenario? Is there a kind of mini-game for things like how much breathable air the Investigators have, or for avoiding tearing their diving suits during the exploration?

Very cool to see someone reviewing CoC. Subscribed!

Another excellent video more please 😀

Hey really good video. Glad you made a Tech. It's my fav Role in the game.

I love using the fairfolk in Call of Cthulhu scenarios! It is not done enough.

Hey sparky :) I have this set but have yet to really read deeply into it. this was a fun overview. thanks

Are you filming at Tolarian Community College??

Excellent review with great pointers. Thank you so much for taking the time to review and provide suggestions and guidance.

Great walkthrough. I recently bought this at my FLGS during Free RPG Day, and began prepping to play it with the Pulp Cthulhu rules; magnificent effort by Sons of the Singularity.

I backed the KS, nice review. I can recommend the indocine campaign from sons of the singularity as well. I hope to hear more reviews 😊

Thanks! :)

I'm really fascinated by this one. Hoping to eventually score a physical copy of their Sassoon Files (I think that's the name) at some point, too. Fingers crossed.

Thanks XP for taking the time to review our work!

Thank you for sharing this. I wish that I had been able to back the kickstarter when it was live, perhaps I can still get my hands on it. Call of Cthulhu is one of my favorite games.

The first time i did a chase scene i didn't show the map to the players since the chase was set in a forest, i just drawn the path on a sheet i had. It was fun!

My players are doing Kenya after Egypt, and since they didn't manage to stop the resurrection of Nitocris I plan to have another friend join as a guest player and infiltrate the group.

Thanks a bunch :) this was very helpful ahead of our start of the chapter yesterday!

The first game I ran, I went waaaay overboard with creating props, music and even lighting. It really helped. The players were impressed and it got me less inhibited and caught up in the story, which got the players into it too. I handwaved a crapload of rules and just made command decisions to call advantage/disadvantage rolls. From a technical standpoint it was absolute garbage. From a roleplaying/story standpoint it was a ton of fun! So I have since then taken more of a non-technical approach, and done liberal house rules to maximize in-game time over fussing over book chapters/verses.

Thanks for this. A buddy is running a campaign and invited me to join. I want to learn beforehand to speed things up. Appreciate the info..

Thank you for reviewing this, it will be my first adventure as Keeper and your insight was very helpful ❤

🥳❤️👍🏿 one of the few videos I’ve seen that speak positively of fudging without denying they use it themselves

I’m on a quest to collect all the house rules on KZfaq - do you have a video in your back catalogue about the house rules you use? If not, would you consider making such a video? I have a particular interest in d20 systems like D&D, but I’m not picky - I want to collect all the house rules I can for TTRPGs

Hi, this series is great, thank you! Do you think that the campaign could be played with the starter set rules?

Speaking of easy leveling, the absolute easiest leveling you can get is your character has died or gone completely mad so it's a non-issue! Perhaps someday I'll participate in a long campaign in this system but the big draw for me is how perfect Call of Cthulhu is for single-session scenarios. Everyone goes in knowing survival is far from guaranteed which I believe is one of the secret ingredients contributing toward the heavy role-play aspect. If I'm only going to get to play this character once, then I've got to use every moment I've got! This frees the player up to be riskier and more open to playing up their character versus being playing defensive as a player protecting their game piece.

I aim to be a planner ready to throw it all out at the drop of a hat. The setting should be fleshed out enough to let the players go down unexpected roads. I hope to make a sandbox with threads compelling enough that the players will do their own railroading. I want to know the rules well enough to give the players confidence in the system and thus their ability to affect the game, while also being flexible in the name of fun. I will try to have the players know keeping the game fun is a cooperative effort, while the obstacles and antagonists are sufficiently confounding and challenging to make them worth overcoming. I must give the players enough description to know their options while leaving room to let them make indirect additions, like trying to find a clue that was unplanned, but makes sense. I should be a springboard for getting the players to interact with each other as much as possible as to not hog the spotlight from the stars of the show. Going to be running my first game soon, never been a Keeper or any kind of GM before.

I love this campaign so much. I've run it multiple times in various editions, and even the first time through in the first edition, with young players in their twenties playing 8 - 10 hours a week, it still took us most of a year. But I recognize the difficulty for players. I've worked as a professional investigator and a social scientist. When I play in CoC big campaigns (I never got to play Masks, grumble), I create case boards and files, type my notes, and organize clues. None of my players has ever been quite that obsessive--though many do take notes, they rarely take the time to summarize and draw conclusions beyond the "we could go to x locations and check it out." It often surprises me just how counter-intuitive simply going and talking to witnesses (or following up on them, "Can you think of anyone else who we should talk to") is for most players. When they are really stuck, I might have a clear-thinking reporter, professor, or investigator contact show up and ask them questions, revealing they know more than they think, even if they can't remember the exact details. (Then they can make an idea roll to remember the specifics that their characters would likely remember or be able to reconstruct--or check their notes more carefully.)

Obsidian is better than One Note. Give it a swing, I have the Arkham book mapped out in Obsidian, it's cool because it makes a graph of connections so as you set it up you know how everyone and everything is linked together.

SPOILER: Hey, thanks for the Video! We start in about 1-2 months and I am just wondering: When did your players get the hint that they actually race time regarding the Grand Conclusion?

With the limitation of only seven floor cards per Netrunning Deck, if opted to buy multiple decks, how many decks would I need to be able to represent complete sets of netruns?

Best review ever on this deck, greets from Colombia, choom!

Players not knowing what is happening is par for the course in CoC, hahah

This is a great investigation with some meaty characters. It's a shame they didn't get to the electrical room: that has such potential for mayhem and madness. 😃👍

Thanks XPLovecat! This sounds "cool", in a grim, no-hope kind of way. 🙂 This is the first review I've heard from that Nameless Horrors book, maybe I need to get myself a copy of it. Thanks!

It takes "down on your luck" very literally.

This one sounds cool. I do get a chuckle out of how many CofC games end in fire. Even with folks who don't have a lot of experience. The last time I ran it (The Haunting, for relatively new players), not only did the players not really find out what was happening, but they burned everything down, so nobody would find out.
