As someone who knows absolutely nothing about RPGs, Dom is really carrying this for me. Everyone else is hilarious and clearly having fun, but Dom is just brilliant. He's making the rules easy to follow, his narration is incredibly immersive, and he's getting to flex his considerable acting chops. Hopefully he sees this comment or someone shows him because he's really outdone himself.
If you don't already, I highly recommend his podcast The Apocalypse Players. I'm currently listening to their adventure Machine Tractor Station Kharkov-36 and while the audio quality is a bit rough in the first two episodes, the atmosphere makes up for it. Dom's a(n excellent) player in that particular scenario, but he's the Keeper for some others like the first one, the Cracked and Crooked Manse.
Literally was about to comment the same thing when I saw this. I have absolutely zero knowledge of RPGs but Dom is really making this super easy to follow and grasp whilst also still engaging in the storyline. Bravo 👏🏻
I was expecting he would turn into Stalin any momemt
Dom is one of the few who can run games like these and it's not even slightly cringe, which is very difficult to do because RPG's are inherantly at least a little cringe. Great stream!
Isocarsocrap 1:47
"It is Pea Soup...sir."
"Were you listening?"
Underrated joke
The "I beg your pardon, sir?" was just the cherry on top.
Yes 👍 but know joke 2:06
totally losing it at Brooke Bourgeoisie's bf playing 'river proletariat'. vvvv good joke Sullivan
I can't believe I didn't catch that. Incredible.
Ooohh I get it.
Ooohh I get it.
ohhh that’s what it was.. thank you! i’m struggling figuiring out their names
@@barbrr Nathaniel Fairmont is based on Adam's character from the first CBW one-shot, Piston Fairmont. I thiiink he's done the character before in unfilmed games too
I'd love it if roleplaying became more common on this channel, you have such a good cast for it
I agree! I always absolutely love the rpg episodes, they're so easy to get invested in
I couldn’t agree more. Admittedly, this was my first time watching a NRB video, but as an avid watcher of different RPG streams, you ALL are so much more talented than the majority of the established RPG streams out there. It would be a waste of wonderful talent if you did not commit more time to TTRPG projects. I’m certain they would be incredibly popular, as I’m sure this series is, and will be in the coming episodes. Thank you!
I love this episode (to the point I'm rewatching it again) but I'm not a fan of their Fiasco play through. Maybe it's because Dom gives proper guidance, but if they do more (which they should), it should be stuff with a GM curating the experience.
Fiasco at times felt off and too random.
100% agreed! I was soooooo excited when I saw this vid because I've been wanting them to play this game and Vampire: The Masquerade for forever.
@@amedeus40k Absolutely spot on assessment. The cast is exceptionally good at improv and I love that they took a more humorous approach to a horror game. It was giving me Clue vibes ❤
Dom is killing it with that mustache and presentation!
The hair makes Dom more menacing. So appropriate
Stupid sexy Dom!
specially the mustache
@@joekerr1607 what 💀 I am not even British lol
@@joekerr1607 bro 🤣 I wish I could have that accent and speaking but no, I am not Dom
Tilly's "She's playing hard to get, Dom!" got to me. This is going to be a fun ride
As did Tom's "you're back in, mate!" when the widow went to Harry's side directly after the murder.
This was my favorite Tilly video. She absolutely stole the show.
“And uh…I’m drunk.” This is going to be the best
the bot didn't even spell barred correctly lol
“I will help you! I am *very* weak” is one of my favorite moments as well.
”But if you're not familiar with roleplaying games...“
*Aweeee they think about us Basic Boardgame Bitches too* 🥺🥺
I love how the "french" guy had a german accent, and how the priest totally wasn't a conman
9:26 Dom: "This is a fantasy, so you can be whatever and whoever you want, let your wildest dreams run free."
Laurie: "My guy's going to be merely bald-ING!"
Some dreams have to crawl before they can walk 😂☠️
Never put anything by a priest you don't mind losing!! 😂
The candlestick, the revolver, the Colonel, Scarlett, the map of the house - this is wonderful stuff! Who amongst us HASN'T been sent insane by a family game of Cluedo?
Not to mention, Juliette's maiden name is Plum. Juliette Reek (nee. Plumm).
And Adam's character is evocative of the modern versions of Reverend Green where he isn't actually a priest but a con artist.
Also miss Scarlet
This is so exciting! New camera angles, elaborate fancy costumes, space for Dom to let his wonderfully evil character shine… this is going to be great
I'm beginning the believe this isn't a character. I think it's the real Dom.
It's terrifying... and I'm here for it.
Love that the concept behind this channel isn't really board games, it's "I have talented friends, look at my fun and talented friends." Great work from Dom here, really brought the game to life
I agree to a point, but even though I'm relatively new to the board game scene, I've had some amazing experiences in group games. this channel really does show what's possible though.
this is a board game video though, it's Clue
Dom deserves a mustache break, that thing is magnificent
That bit with Dom as the Colonel talking about the gas. What a brilliant bit of acting, the way he struggles to say it, almost wants to say more and has to put the facade on again to hide the pain. Actually rather impressive
_Ohhhh,_ and what kind of gas would it have been in the war? _Mustard_ gas!
Ah yes, the Colonel and the Mustard Gas.
This is a bit off topic but when im playing Clue i almost always play Professor Plum and from the first time I played the game i have, for some reason, felt like the Professor has a vendetta against the Colonel. Whenever there’s a Colonel in a show/game like this, I immediately distrust him…
How nice to see Dom evolved into a full on Vaudvillain.
Funny and notable moments:
4:23 Nathaniel Fairmont introduction

42:54 Harry cries to Buck

59:33 Dom's papers full of secrets
1:02:16 Adam spends luck on a painting💀
1:06:10 Ivy's hand goes through the landscape
1:16:55 Longest handshake ever
1:25:50 The real crime: the painting
Do you know who shot Sir George Reek?
@@sugarbear4865 yes but that's spoiler
Nathaniel will definitely be played by Peter Dinklage in the movie 😂
I've got to say, Dom is quickly becoming my favourite on this channel... his portrayal of the characters was amazing! top marks Dom
Dom is bloody amazing at storytelling. The atmosphere was great throughout. Absolutely loved it!
OH MY GOD THE INTRO! The shade he gave to Adam sitting right on his left, smiling.
DOM IS HILARIOUS! I LOVE THIS.
And the detective leans in and inspects the body for a brief moment. Then leans back and says, "Mmmh indeed, this man is dead, and he died by someone ramming their entire arm in to his chest." XD
Dom is killing this, also heavily invested in Harry Peeps search for love
Teri has to be the clear MVP of this video - well edited and love the subtlety of all the sound effects!
I always figured when they did an rpg it'd be Tom as DM but Dom is excellent here. Really great stuff, can't wait for more!
Check out City British Wrestling (formerly know as No Rolls Barred). It's a wrestling RPG that Tom did GM.
They did play Fiasco
@@diamondsky3787 Yeah sorry I should have said 'another rpg'. Fiasco is one of my favourites they've done.
@@sunayama4650 Already watched it all multiple times lol. C B DUB! C B DUB!
Welcome ... to Clue of Cthulhu!
PS: Loving Tilly's portrayal of Harry Peeps!
Was wondering if anyone else clocked that
Tilly was such a delight in this!!! Playing a sad little man that can't catch a break is so... suiting for her, for whatever reason.
Holly aggressively shoving her hand where it has no business being shoved into. More please!
The only question in CoC worse than "Who has the worst Luck" is "Who has the best perception" :D
Dom really uncapped all his charisma here. This is amazing.
Dom straight up looking amazing, the appreciation for his mustache isn't unwarranted
Dom is a really great Keeper! Building up tension, acting, descriptions and even after the cast joke for a while, they go silent as he continues this story. Awesome, and I know, I'll have to check his podcast now.
Big credit to all the players but I have to say, I'm amazed how great of a roleplayer Tilly is! She's totally different person than we know from the board games videos.
It's a shame we'll have to wait for another episode, I'll watch the whole thing straight away.
Appreciation for how cute Tilly's outfit is, that is all
Can I just put out there that Dom is one of my absolute favourites on NRB. He makes me laugh so much and I really want to be friends with him because he is weird and quirky and passionate and endearing and charming. Absolutely love the fact he is DM'ing in this.
Dom is doing a fantastic job as GM. The rest of the cast are fleshing out their characters really well too. The storytelling has me so engaged and I can’t wait for more. Also…I love that the map of the house is the map of the Cluedo house.
Less than 30 seconds in and I already need more Dom with a curly mustache and more Sullivan with a beret
Alright, who's idea was it to give Dom power? You all know how drunk he gets on power.
In all seriousness, this should be a great mini series! I can't wait for the next 2 episodes!
The quick switch of accents and personalities for Dom is drawing me into this so hard.
Dom knows the truth. Dragons are people too. He is now my new favorite person.
That intro is incredible
oh my what is this unexpected saturday surprise
totally!
I was thinking the same thing.
To anyone who loves this game and hasn't looked up The Apocalypse Players podcast, do yourself a solid and listen to the podcast. In particular The Machine Tractor Station Kharkov-37. It is a phenomenal scenario played brilliantly
How come nobody told me Dom was such a good DM? This blindsided me in the exact same way Tom did playing storyteller in blood on the clocktower
I'm sorry but I'm absolutely losing it at the old collector man and the dead guy's dead son's widow having a casual chat about his collection literally right next to rhe actual body. Absolutely cold.
Ooooh, Don being a games master! What a great treat for October and for my birthday!! 🦑🎃🦑
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday dude
Happy birthday!
birthday twin!!
Happy Birthday! 🐙
I freaking love the costumes
This is absolutely brilliant. 10/10 entertainment. Watched a lot of role play boardgames, including Lovecraft scenarios, but the atmosphere, the music, the storytelling and the endurance of the players in sticking to their roles and what they know and focus on is absolutely top notch!
Six minutes in and Sullivan has an outrageous accent. It's going to be good. 😆
I like that Dom personalized Terie's NPC by making her a French maid, because (as has been subtly hinted on the channel several times) I think Terie might be French.

This is a WIP as I watch. If i missed anything or goofed something up, don't hesitate to tell me, I'll edit as fast as I can.
wow thank you, this is immensely helpful 🥰
Do you know who shot Sir George Reek?
Dom is just an amazing DM. The way he portraits every charcter... simply marvelous.
As someone who absolutely loves both Call of Cthulhu and your channel, I can't tell you how excited I am for this!!!
This is the video I had no idea I needed but I am so glad the NRB team did. Even better than BotC
“Cause they don’t have feelings, do they? Don’t have ambitions or families.” That just got dark very fast
A gigantic compliment to Dom! He makes the story so exciting and authentic! I love his style!
I'm only 28 minutes in and I had to pause the video to tell you how much I love this. The ambience is fantastic, Dom's storytelling is great, the character work, dress, and mood setting is beautiful, I just love all of this and will definitely be watching for all 3 parts. Alright back to it bye.
i missed my flight home due to public transit issues and watching this while i was stuck in the airport has kept me from panicking all day 🥰 never doubt the good you do, NRB!
Dom is engaging, mesmeric, enthralling and utterly bewitching!! One of the finest GM/DM/Keeper performances yet witnessed. So looking forward to part 2!!
Not gonna lie... I had to watch the "bleached-blonde idiot" intro line about a dozen times before I could continue. It just gets funnier with every play.
Thanks. It is rare to hear people reckoning that Call of Cthulhu wasn't invented by Lovecraft alone. Indeed, Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith played a significant part.
Also, everyone looks so dapper
"Leave the lady alone!"
And I already like that character. Nice Guy Behaviour
Watching Dom come for 5e was more enjoyable than I care to admit!
(For context, I love 5e, D&D was my first roleplaying game, but I've spent years trying to get people to play something that isn't D&D so there's a strange sort of joy in seeing people sass it)
Also, damn what a game. By the time Sully had introduced his character I was thinking 'well this is going to be a beautiful disaster'. Can't wait for the next two parts. AMAZING WORK NRB!
D&D is fun but sometimes I want to play things that are lkess complicated, more roleplay and shenigans less rulessssss.
Coming back to watch this after it led me down a rabbit hole of podcasts and source books. Damn you and thank you.
ok hold on hold on hear me out - Harry Peeps = H . P. (lovecraft)????????
Brilliant!
YEEESSSS DOM IS IN CHARGE TODAY LETS GO!
I stumbled across NRB when their playing Jamaica was a fresh upload. I have done much catching up since, days and days worth of watching and rewatching. It feels about time I commented again though as I think this video is certainly worthy!
Dom is an excellent D/GMaster. Loving the storytelling, and getting drawn in by the evolving narrative, although I am slightly distracted by the magnificent ‘stache. It's oddly satisfying to see Adam with his wings clipped, it feels an easy balance.
The production is fabulous. From titular credits to thunder and lightning fx, to incidental music, to dice graphics, to ad break markers... these productions are getting better and better every week! Not sure this gets the recognition it deserves.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I look forward to the next instalment... Even if it's another week away!
* sobs gently but still not as pathetically as ‘Harry’ *
Omg this is such a wonderful surprise! I was just running out of the Apocalypse players to listen to and now Dom’s brought the mythos to draughts!
I’m so glad I know the Apocalypse videos exist now and wish I had discovered them sooner.
I love the idea of playing Call of Cthulhu using the Cluedo mansion!
Did you also notice that we have "The Colonel" and a "Miss Scarlet"?
Tilly is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
I literally cannot recommend The Apocalypse Players enough - I’ve been listening to it non-stop over the last few months and it’s absolutely brilliant. Haven’t even watched this video yet but I know it’ll be superb!
Thanks so much for the shout out! Glad you’re enjoying it. We’re loving watching as Dom torments other people for a change…
Dropping in to HIGHLY recommend the Apocalypse Players podcast. I’m only a few episodes in (thanks to it being plugged here) and it’s some top notch actual play.
Thank you!
@@apocplayershello, i was wondering if there are any plans to release this story? Id really like to run it for my friends. I tried searching for it online but i have had no luck so far. Thanks!
I need more of this and I need it more often. God dammit this cast is so good!! Props to Dom for the wonderful atmosphere.
Damn, why is everyone so handsome. My bi panic is skyrocketing😂
This makes me so happy, been hoping you guys would incorporate more RPGs and Call of Cthulhu is perfect for fun one-shots.
Hoping this becomes a thing on the channel
i have been waiting for a TTRPG on this channel for so longgggg finally my prayers have been answered
i ❤️ Dom, he's really such an amazing Keeper. glad to see a plug for Apocalypse Players, which remains my absolute favorite Call of Cthulhu podcast to date!
I've noticed from the times that they've done role playing that despite the fact that, unlike most of the crew on NRB, Laurie didn't go to acting school and is not a professional actor, he's really good at it!
When i saw Stalin as DM, i knew this was going to be good.
That was just great! The costumes are epic and Doms narration is perfect. Especially with this glorious mustache
Yes! I'm so glad TTRPGs are finally here. And Call of Cthullu is such a breath of fresh air. I'm beyond excited for this
Dom is a Cosmic Horror all his own. Well done.
This is going to be incredible!
Love finding out about Dom's podcast, I wasn't very familiar with games like this before this channel and I adore Dom so a podcast with this sort of game is amazing.
Let us know what you think!
@@apocplayers It's fantastic! I'm about to start episode 5 of "The Crack'd and Crook'd Manse". I originally started it for Dom but I really have already just become a huge fan of the other guys playing as well. I also really appreciate that the editing leaves in "meta" discussions among the players and the joking amongst them. It really feels like playing something with your friends rather than strictly a performance for lack of a better word.
If I were Jewish I would be unable to stay Kosher.
Since Dom's Ham is just too good.
YESSS I’ve been waiting for RPGs on this channel, and I’m thrilled it’s run by Dom’s dramatics
Hearing how excited Teri got that her name was used for a character in the game, I'd love it if they added a 'Teri Cam' to show her reactions to certain things.
Oh yeah, a full costume, multi-part role playing game series for halloween
The surprise upload of this video is proof that there is a God. And he is merciless. And his name is Dominic Allen.
Oh Gods.... Someone put Dom in charge. How the hells did they get him out of the room after? His head would have expanded with all the power given to him. 😆🤣
Oh lord this might be the best day ever.
I didn't know I needed Dom as a GM but seeing him in that chair something feels right
This and blood on the clocktower live this month hopefully. NRB are really spoiling us.
Dom makes for such an amazing GM in this setting and the cast play off each other wonderfully. Lovely stuff! Cannot wait to see more!
Me: Opens phone, sees Dom behind the screen on a game of Call of Cthulhu, changes pants after a bit of a mishap, opens phone again, presses play, smiles.
Okay, now I'm curious. What type of mishap did you have?
OMG yes. I'm so here for more NRB RPG content.
So anyone else want Dom running Call of Cthulhu on this channel a regular thing?
I love that the NPCs are characters from Clue! This is excellent.
Credit where it's due - Dom is bloody fantastic from the first second. You can tell he's really relishing this, but his presentation along with his concise and clear rule clarifications throughout really elevate this.
The whole cast are awesome as always. River Proletariat is genius. Everyone having a great time, and it shows.
i’m nearly ecsatic about it, it’s so great!! the comfort of this set-up just spills out from the screen, i could watch it and watch it (and i’m probably gonna…)
ps: Laurie is so handsome in this suit :,)
Dom the best boi running Call Of Cthulhu it's like Kalloween has come early.
Call of Cthulhu, with Dom as DM? Sign me the hell up.
Hope yall add more RPG stuff to the channel. This is awesome, and I loved City British Wrestling.
