ICYMI in addition to the amazing work on Chaotic Neutral, Dom has a massive catalogue of Call of Cthulhu play throughs on his podcast The Apocalypse Players!
Yeah it's great; I'm half way through podcast. Dom plays some great and truly unhinged characters. However I do prefer him DMing here, he's got such a flair for it.
Yeah it's great, three keepers who take it in turns to keep various scenarios, while the others and guests play. Dom is the one who most likes his players to suffer!!
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.
My week has been hellish, I've worked past 2am three days in a row, as a normal 9-5 guy, with no extra pay. So thanks for releasing three hours of CoC, you literally just brought me back to life for the weekend.
I am flabbergasted that across an entire campaign about sending a monstrous horror back to its own dimension, Eldritch Presley did not make a single “Return to Sender” joke. 😂
Fun fact: They were chanting “domi” over and over, which is actually Latin for “at home”. So they were kinda chanting that it was their home (and they did have the deed). Pretty good for expelling a demon 😆
And "Nominu" would be something like "Having been named", so it would be something like "At home in this named house" (it doesn't agree properly, but close enough), which is somewhat appropriate.
They probably picked up on all the TV exorcisms out there with: "In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" (In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost). Just looping the first syllables that stuck.
I love me some humourous moments to lighten up the mood in such TTRPGs with a brooding atmosphere, but this time I feel the players overdid it at times, at the expense of Dom's patience. Still a very enjoyable episode, keep it up!! Also, try Vaesen some time!
@@cyborgraptor1778 he’s the DM of the famous D&D campaign Critical Role. CR revitalized D&D and brought it out to new fans through UA-cam. Their first campaign is great and became a show on Amazon Prime Video. Called The Legend of Vox Machina. They have a lot of celebrity guests both in stream and on the Amazon show.
If you aren't aware and want more Lovecraft stories, Dom and his friends run a wonderful podcast called The Apocalypse Players that features more wonderful Call of Cthulhu stories!
These games are literally the best part of my day whenever they come out. I cannot WAIT to see what Dom does to this poor unsuspecting group of people. Hehe.
Thank you guys so much for making these videos. The first time Dom GMd Call of Cthulu it brought me into the fold, back on the other channel. Now that we're getting new CoC campaigns almost every month im psyched. Really loving it. Has been a great immersion for me during some tough times.
Fair play to Tom for being one of the funniest guests yet, playing one of the best characters, being the first player to die by actual wounds inflicted before the game ended, whilst playing an undertaker no less.
I love how when you miss a shot with Dom it doesn't just not hit the thing you want to, it hits the one thing you absolutely do not want to hit even when it isn't a fumble lol.
Getting Bubba Ho-Tep vibes from Eldritch Presley. Loving these Cthulhu adventures, played with perfect humour and horror by the Chaotic Neutral crew. This episode felt like a pub visit may have occurred just before. More please.
Call of Cthulhu > any other rpg basically. So entertaining to watch, even when the playthrough is more silly due to the players style its still so engaging and fun. 20/10
A good tip for other keepers, 47:14 is a great way to make a one shot just that: keep the party moving and start scenes at the destination, don't waste time with the journey. 😀
Aww, Sully's story about Brooke reminded me how much I miss that absolute chaos goblin on this channel. Also, you've gotta bring Tom back for more games, really liked him in this episode!
Started my first real week of homeschooling my niece and it’s been super stressful because I don’t want to let her (or my sister and the rest of the family) down, and I think I’m doing good but still stressed. So this is a god send, gonna load up black myth wukong and listen to this and destress.
I love Dom as the Keeper of Arcane Lore. He is excellent! I've been listening to the Apocalypse Players which is a great podcast with really cool characters and an awesome cast! Let's go insane again! 😁
I feel sorry for Dom trying to create a scary atmosphere when the players are coming to the table like "My character is called High Chancellor Celery Jowelthwart and they look exactly like Phil Mitchell from Eastenders."
@@RabidBogling Can always use more actual plays of Call of Cthulhu and Mystery Quest and Chaotic Neutral are the only ones giving me my fix. So I'll check it out, thanks!
After watching all of the Call of Cthulhu episodes you guys put out I've finally managed to get some of my own mates down for playing a game of it, been scheming up the horrible shit I'm going to do to them in my game already.
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. Im genuinely surprised NRB hasnt really done Pulp Cthulhu stuff as I think the wackiness would fit better
@@KaneA87 Very funny how similarly they both played the scenario, even down to the absurdly long conversation with and over development of the general store owner!
@wade8371 it was a kids educational program in the mid 90's, definitely a little wacky and zaney, but still had a lot of info about a ton of scientific topics
Everyone who enjoys Dom as the keeper of Arcane Lore should listen to his Call Of Cthulu podcast 'The Apocalypse Players' where they take turns to be keeper. Dom as a player is spectacular
I know Laurie was joking about "open heart massage"--but that's actually a thing! Cardiac massage/thoracotomies. They don't have a super high rate of success, but also aren't usually done unless it's a last resort.
Edge of Darkness was the very first scenario I played. I'd run Paper Trail as Keeper for my GF but someone in my weekly D&D group offered to run CoC and he borrowed my starter set to run this scenario. We had a great time. It's a lot of fun to see how a different group of people goes about solving the mystery.
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
I almost feel a bit sad for Dom. He is such a greaet GM and making it so immense and everyone is just ..being silly ! But all thumbs up to Dom for keeping up with this ! I love these !
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.
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.
@@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
1:36:07 as a New Englander, we do sometimes get tornadoes, however, as someone who’s lived in tornado prone states in my life, you don’t go to the attic. Hope you enjoy my nonsense comment
I love all of the episodes so much! I feel like people really take their time with the players creation you can get really into and dom is absolutely fantastic! I check the channel every day for a new one! At about 10 min this excitement died a bit as i learned everyone but dom is going to try and be the comic relief at all times…
There's clearly some sort of revival campaign for Edge of Darkness going on around youtube currently - at least I hope so, otherwise something more sinister is at work, and that's not good news in this genre
i saw this after i watched mystery quest version of this adventure (found you guys from when you collabed) and was wondering how you would handle it, i did not expect a magic school bus the frizz and Elvies Presley to happen

This is basically the first scenario where it feels like they straight up won, and not either straight up lost or been in some half and half draw
Spoilers!

You really smash it with these Call of Cthulu playthroughs. I can't get enough of them. Dom Allen is utterly brilliant at them. He's a huge talent.
One of my favourite times of the month! Would be awesome to get some of the apocalypse players cast to special guest at some point
Yeah im surprised they havent done that! Since they had Angory tom on but maybe the apoc players arent as local
