I like this series, especially since I've never played this game and it seems pretty fun, although most of the best characters are dead (Cecil, Karnov). At least Chang lives.

Hahaha, holy poo poo you got wiped out, Zack. How the hell can you even succeed? What would happen if you just set fire to the house? Or if you just never entered it and just started demolishing it? How the gently caress are you expected to kill the God normally?

I've never played it, but my impression of Call of Cthulhu is that everyone goes crazy and/or dies. Just like Lovecraft's stories. If you are very lucky and not too curious you may escape relatively unscathed like Chang and Sharon. But you won't win against the elder gods and various other uncanny things man was never supposed to know about. Basically, in the CoC universe if you suspect something strange is going on, your best bet is to invite random people to investigate the mystery for you. If they do not succeed within a few days of starting the investigation, then you should sell everything you own and move to another state.

There's an old piece of 90s internet humor called 'The Ideal Call of Cthulhu Investigation' that operates off that theory: http://www.hoboes.com/pub/Role-Playing/Horror/Call%20of%20Cthulhu/Humor/Ideal%20Cthulhu%20Investigation/

Elpintogrande, since a bunch of people posted, will the series continue now or not?neoboman posted:Meaning the response has been poor?

I think he may have been referring to the fact that his post announcing the third session got no replies for five and a half hours. But then a bunch of people posted so now it's all up in the air.

I'd like to see how WTF DnD handles a Delta Green scenario, especially the aspects of "maintain secrecy at all costs" and which obscure government agencies they would use as cover for PCs.

I personally really like the Chtulluh tabletop but I'd take any other adventures if they are as hilarious as these ones. But honestly, I think you guys set the bar so high with Cecil and Karnov that any other main characters are going to seem awful compared to them.

I've been enjoying these Call of Cthulhu modules, I hope you guys keep going. I'm just sad Karnov didn't roll around in the partially formed ring he was shoveling and encrust himself with anti-slugboss armor consisting of sweat and salt. Oh well, looking forward to the next group of investigators and horrors.

Alright we'll reconsider. If Steve can come up with a compelling character for the next one. If we don't continue, it's not like we can't revisit call of cthulhu at some point in the future.

It's cruel to end the story with "tune in next time" when the day before I read in this thread there wasn't going to be one. Fingers crossed Steve comes up with a fantastic character and the series can continue. Or you find another module and run that. I just love when you two run modules and prefer it to making fun of goofy monsters in obscure manuals.

You realize you are no longer standing in the greenhouse but atop a black, rocky plain strewn with crystal formations. The sky is dark except for the occasional flash of purple lightning.

Curled-toe slippers, a pair of red pajama pants, along with a big-honkin' handlebar mustache, and no man at the party would be able to resist you.

"Go ahead, make my millenium" it took me a full three seconds to recognize this as a quote from the movie Beetlejuice because her delivery was so deadpan.

I think I speak for the majority when I ask just what the gently caress is that guy doing in picture #10 of today's episode? That you were able to discuss it without the obvious references to oral sex is an admirable trait in both of you.

I just wanted to say how much I like the WTF, DND? feature updates. Everything for me stops when I see a new one; I sit down, transfixed, and read it beginning to end. The only thing that makes this sadder is that I don't play any tabletop games. After years of resisting attempts by obnoxious peers to draft me for grueling campaigns, I think I derive satisfaction from watching Zack and Steve pick these games apart.

There's actually a companion piece to that one that has more of the hooded guys and a lot more going on, but the one we used was much creepier. I'll track down that other one when I get a chance and post it here. There was so much weird and creepy art. Lots of it crude.

Warhammer Fantasy is one of those series that would just do well with WTF, DnD; it has so many goddamned charts it'd be Steve's dream come true. There's a chart in Tome of Salvation, a 2nd Edition book, to determine what your randomly generated religious man will be wearing. Options include nothing, and a pig for a hat, complete with illustration of said man with pig on head. It also fetches you art like this, for a 'used horse salesman' class.

Those hooded guys are still a lot freakier than the tentacle mouth beast. I really have to echo Steve's sentiment that the relatively mundane things in the pictures are far more disturbing than the supernatural stuff.

Is this from the first set of Warhammer Fantasy books? What the hell does the book say it is? Cause I know they've changed so much dumb poo poo and deciding 'yeah the tentacle monster with 20 mouths is a bit much' would be something they'd do so they can replace it with a dumbass bird monster.

Remember how fond you guys were of Raven McCracken, the creator of World of Synnibarr? Steve said "He's pretty much the best dude. I wish I knew what he was up to now." It turns out he's been retooling Synnibarr and is ready to release it into the wild with the magic of crowdfunding and it will include The Worldship Atlas. For only $350 you can meet the man himself and actually play a game of Synnibarr: Invicta. He also has a mohawk now.quote:Zack: He is in the wild now, Steve. Let him be free. If he comes back with a Synnibarr II you will know it was meant to be.
