    As a lifelong Cthulhu cultist, I'm almost 47 today, and thanks to my father's library I had access to Lovecraft's entire bibliography from the age of 12, an opportunity I exploited to its fullest from day one. Anyhow, as well as I know the entire mythos and its many nuances, I never fail to click on any video that promises information about it, as worse case scenario I'm just listening to my favorite topic while learning nothing. Thanks for your time/devotion to the master of this hellish, materialistic "demension" we call earth/home 👍🏻🖤🏴‍☠️

    Lovecraft was an artist too and drew Cthulhu, ghouls and others.

    I enjoy it most because we see CTHULHU! Find out it still lives and held in the depths since it is no water being but an air being a fire being. Its stupendous alien mind reaching flabby, tiny human minds to touch now and again.

    Great explanation except for one thing. The newspaper article from Australia in the third chapter was not in Professor Angell’s notes. The narrator finds it by chance sometime after reading all his uncles notes. He was visiting a geologist friend and the paper had been used as packing material for some samples the geologist had in his collection. That’s what made it so exciting to the narrator. It was another independent source that added credence to the other stories from Wilcox and Legrasse.

      The story text explains in Chapter two that the Great Old Ones can only exist on Earth "When the stars are right" so they withdrew to the city to wait for the stars to be right once more. And then they wake up...

    I remember in one of Seth Skorkowsky's videos where he described a weird science device one of characters tried to make, a gun that would fire glue globs to capture and interrogate enemies. But the character fumbled the roll to make it resulting in glue exploding all over the lab it was being made at and the organization that owned it effectively banned that character from the lab for the rest of the campaign.

    This is incredibly helpful, the book can be a little vague on the crafting system, which extends to the weird science gadget rules.

    Thank you. I really haven't played CofC since 2nd or 3rd Ed, but I always liked Pulp Stories. I have the CofC 7e Quick Start Rules, and I bought Pulp Cthulhu for my birthday. I might buy the CofC starter kit later. I see myself playing more Pulp Cthulhu than the regular game, so I'm unsure if I should buy the Keeper's Book.

    I took a character to cr98, and she became horrifically insane as a result of her twisted view of the world in the top 1% . A gold plated zeppelin was one of her obsessions.

    Referring to this era of history as "The Dark Ages" is such a Eurocentric idea. The year 950 was smack dab in the middle of what is known as the Golden Age of Islamic Science. Anytime Leofrick is struggling to lead a group of illiterate peasants across a field of mud, I just want to picture a Family Guy style cutaway to a bunch of academics in Baghdad having a wonderful time in a peaceful, technologically advanced city.

    When Roll20 acts up i hit d100 about 20 times to remove the hex. . For physical dice, they go in the box of shame. Back to back 100 will be a slow death in the microwave.

    interesting but youd think there would be more extreme modifiers for old age as during that period 30 years old was considered old!. Thanks for the upload though
