Hot, tight, beautifully-detailed horror not unlike my ex-wife but with a super-happy ending instead of irreparable cosmic horror. Re: Russel."The force is strong in this one, eh?" Wonderful NTM story & hey, dig that groovy new voice. Excellent again, CABH.
These have been wonderful! My brother has run tabletop role playing games for 20 years, and dislikes Call Of Cthulu, so made an entire game based around Lovecraftian mythos, including the dream lands
@@michaelkottler It is an ever going work in progress, but he has made something absolutely special. Exploring the Dream Lands with a Game Master as skilled at descriptions as my brother is always incredible! It is such a magical experiences!
@@lunamaria1048Thanks for your thoughtful and detailed reply to my comment. As a long-time RPG enthusiast I find your brothers creation equal parts dope & dank and a clear demonstration of his intelligence & creativity. And did I mention his inclusion of the Dreamlands? Again, SO dope! Kudos to your bro.
@@michaelkottler Basically he dislikes Call Of Cthulu, the RPG and has spent the past decade creating Lovecrafts entire mythos from the ground up, using Palladium Books popular "Rifts Earth" as a template. Palladium Books has a ton of different settings, including rules for dream world, settings with Great Old Ones etc. They also have a megaverse building book and conversion books to help creative geniuses like my brother to create our own universe/megaverse and everything in it. Not something you can do in D&D lol. The best part is, H.P Lovecraft encouraged others to expand upon his universe, so there is lots of room to add original ideas to his lovely universe. The dream worlds need exploring lol and I love to do it myelf, rather than have an author describe bits and pieces relevant to the book.
@@lunamaria1048 Thanks for creating such an information-dense reply to my earlier comment, and I am 100% behind your bro's efforts to craft a superior HPL/Cthulhu-mythos RPG experience that transcends the boundaries of more limited systems. Nice! While I have ample respect for Palladium's long and prolific output and equal respect for Gygaz and everyone else who built up Dungeons and Dragons (though I still prefer the 3.5 rules), I totally get the desire and even need to make changes and expand the gaming world and experience. As a long-time AD&D DM (mostly because in any given group of players I was the only one with the imagination, creativity and high-level verbal communication skills required to run the game which was cool but also sucked bcuz it wasn't until many years later with the release of epic games like Baldur's Gate and the King of AD&D on PC or Mac, Neverwinter Nights, that I could finally be the player and play through all the original mods I'd DM'd years prior and what a blast. But I digress. What I meant to say is that as a DM I can attest to the fact that one can indeed change the D&D rule system and anything else based only on the limits of one's imagination and come up with a gaming system that matches one's expectations re: what an AD&D session should be and how the action, content and "flow" should feel, etc. I don't mean to dispute your statement, because after all, many non-D&D gaming systems have more flexible rules and allow for easier modification. All I intended to state was that one can change-up AD&D to suit any one-off session or an entire campaign to meet one's expectations re: what the game should be. In any event, your brother sounds like a great guy and given your thoughtful responses so do you. So thanks again for the additional info and, again, I am w/your bro' 100% re: changing things up.
Agreed. During an earlier "new voice" video the narration moved along at an almost-too-fast pace; but this video is, as Goldilocks was overheard to comment, "Just right".
Same here. For a brief moment, I thought "Bertrand Russel had enough time to wrest himself away from his prolific work in math and philosophy to churn out marvelous pulp fiction? Who knew?" In the next instant I recognized "Bertram" and here we are.
Great video. I dig the narration voice, and the story was very entertaining. I was kind of hoping we'd make it through without "lower races" or phrases like it. Oh well.

Read the text in the thumbnail closely. Author is "BerTRAM Russel" I do like the idea of a mathematician writing Cthulhu mythos stories. He could then go slowly insane and be haunted by a little rat with hand and a human woman's face named Brown Jenkin. When he dreamed he would see a congeries of prolately spheroidal bubbles and a little polyhedron chasing him through a seething void of geometric shapes, and then at the end, Brown Jenkin would somehow tunnel through his chest cavity and eat his heart. It would be called "The Dreams in the Witch House" and Nicholas Cage would play the protagonist. Coming soon to Netflix.
As others have already pointed out, this isn't Bertrand Russell. In the interest of full disclosure, when I first scanned the title and author I thought, for the briefest of moments, "How the f did the noted mathematician/philosopher find time in his busy schedule to write amazing pulp fiction?" And then my subconscious (cognitive activity which occurs in perpetuity below the level of conscious awareness) signaled my conscious mind with a message to the effect of "Hey dummy, it's 'Bertam Russell, not Bertrand. Power breakdown, get on it!" (Plz excuse my plagiarizing the honorable (when he was with White Zombie, anyway) Rob Zombie).

Is B'Moth dead? This is not dead which can eternal lie, and in strange eons, even death may die..... 😀 Anyway, great story. I have never heard that one before.
This is like a description of the Invasion of Normandy! Very prescient, to say the least.. substitute fascists for monsters and there it is..I LOVED IT!
Well-discerned indeed. A cautionary tale in the form of impending fascism as impending doom-from-the-depths. One might expand this to include the use of deep water terror, in the spirit of Freud and Jung, as representing the subconscious and additionally, the classic battle between the Id and Ego (and/or superego) in the vein of Forbidden Planet (1956). In short: what you said.
But the good guys invaded the beaches of Normandy from the water the Germans were waiting on land to resist the invasion so swap the fascists for monsters and then swap the allies and axis around too. Also the seaborne invasion of Normandy was successful.

I really enjoyed this story. Looking forward to more

For a second I thought it was the mathematician

This AI vioce is an improvment!
Indeed, I was about to stop but I kept on listening. A dispassionate voice, but that works for the story.
@@TheMeritCoba the one the channel was using was terrible lol.
I wonder if having a person read these is an option?
@troutwardbound that would be nice, I guess as long as the narration was good.
You know, it really is. And we likes it, precious. Yes precious, we likes it a lot. (Plz excuse my mixing LOTR w/Ren and Stimpy)
Is B'Moth dead? This is not dead which can eternal lie, and in strange eons, even death may die.....
😀
Anyway, great story. I have never heard that one before.
I believe B'Moth is an Avatar of Cthulhu, so less dead and more banished
