      Probably because it was the first scenario not created by Dom. He normally doesn't give them instructions (or even clear hints...) on what they can do to win , like this premade adventure did. With his usual clues, you can't be sure whether following them leads to your victory, death or joining "the evil team"...
      ...but it's usually the latter.

    While past CN CoC adventures have definitely embraced their silly side, this one's gone full Joe R. Lansdale with exactly one semi-serious character in a band of Elvis impersonators, Magic School Bus teachers, and whatever the hell Blair's old man was.
    To be completely frank, it wasn't really my cup of tea: I think Comic Cthulhu CN style works best when there's just the one overt joke character, & preferably when they aren't something as preposterous as 30-years-early pop icons & fictional children's characters. Not to say it wasn't fun, it's just that I had to watch this one in chunks so as not to be overwhelmed by the sheer chaotic energy.
    Which is not to say it's bad at all, I love seeing you all have fun: it's just not my personal taste.
    However, since you're running a classic scenario that I've personally played & watched before, this is the perfect sort of adventure where you *can* be more relaxed & wacky: there are other channels which did more serious & traditional playthroughs. I shudder to think of the nonsense you'd make of one of the really dark ones like "Forget Me Not"!

      Is Forget Me Not one of the more modern scenarios set in Depression era? I recall the Chaosium people doing at least one scenario from a few set in that era and its one of the darkest ever. I just checked and Forget Me Not is a more modern scenario but still a great one, though it could in theory be adapted for classic era CoC. Bleak Prospect from Nameless Horrors is the depression era scenario I was thinking about..theres nothing jolly about it.

    Fun as always, though the PCs were a little too jokey for my taste this time around. They usually walk a fine line, looking like jokes on the surface but winding up with surprising depths that allow the horror to take hold. But put Sullivan and Blair together in a horror game, and they both go sailing off the deep end. Don't get me wrong; I still enjoyed watching. But I did miss feeling truly horrified.

      Ive never thought they have played CoC for anything but laughs and theres no fine line...except in this one nearly everyone is being goofy when typically its just Sully playing it for laughs. A real culture shock when youve come from other channels like Chaosium where they largely play scenarios very straight

      @helgecko 2 місяці тому +18

      Agreed. It would be good to see the players calm down with the jokes and the goofy characters a bit and let the story breathe. A good CoC play-through should be proper creepy with moments of levity sprinkled in (imo).

      It’s definitely a very different vibe to his usual group (Apocalypse Players) but everyone seems to be having a great time. And, who knows?, maybe the more they play the more they will get into the stories :)

      @@GamerBadger82 I can't recommend Apocalypse Players enough to people who feel these are a bit too goofsome. They still take the piss out of each other and break character plenty, but they've got the Call of Cthulhu atmosphere down to a fine art, with fantastic editing to boot.

    • @BaronSpamedi
      @BaronSpamedi 2 місяці тому +2

      I do enjoy Chaotic Neutral does Cthulhu, but i know what you mean about the tone. The Apocalypse Players is a good shout if you want slightly longer stories, covering several episodes, which still have some levity but also allow the horror aspects and atmosphere a bit more room than they have been getting on Chaotic Neutral. The characters are usually less of a punchline and more realistic.
      I would also strongly recommend the Time For Chaos campaign on The Glass Cannon Network (UA-cam and podcasts). It's a playthrough of the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. It currently has 2 seasons available and is some of the best Cthulhu actual play available. It's tone is more like Apocalypse Players where it's played more seriously than Chaotic Neutral but still has many moments of levity and humour scattered throughout. Each season is relatively long, as the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign is a whopper, but this has allowed for really interesting, and intense, role playing and character development.

    • @skyblazeeterno
      @skyblazeeterno 17 днів тому

      @@BaronSpamedi I like the Glass Network stuff mainly for the non player stuff where they are talking about random-ish subjects before the roleplay starts
      For even more serious play the Chaosium Bookshops Of Arkham and The Graveyards Of Arkham are essential viewing...though Chaosium also do less serious playthroughs of lots of their products normally concentrating on promoting current products in the limelight...so they are doing Rivers Of London stuff but have done Classic era,CoC, Regency, French Revolution, Russian Revolution eras, Wild West, World War 2 era Germany and a Pulp campaign The Two Headed Serpent
