i love that erika really takes on the classic mid atlantic accent every time she plays cthulhu, which makes me feel alot more immersed in the time period!
The 1920's atmosphere in this scenario makes it all the more scary when things get progressively more strange and unnatural. I loved the part where the gentleman was escorting Miranda to go outside, Winter was exploring the servant's room while Cass was entertaining the "guests" and the hosts. That part gave me some strong "The Shining" vibes and I can't wait to see what happens next!
This cast has some of the most creative minds in improv and it’s always exciting to see how Becca will narrow the investigators in each new one shot or series. Love this group
Watching as a Keeper, I like to have the scenario open and see how Becca runs encounters. What she chooses to improvise, how she runs the NPCs, etc. I generally don't like watching Actual Plays, but the Calyx is great! Becca's operator voice is the best.
"I'm just happy standing in the back not being involved with this interaction" xD Me too Cass, me too! 2:27:13 - That evil GM laugh!!! xD Great show thanks! :D
This is a fantastic series. Becca is really finding her voice as a storyteller. That said, which other CoC TTRPGs have you watched? I'm a big fan of The Neptune Society on Stream of Blood, and of He Left It Dead on Hyper RPG.
What a great play-through of this scenario! Far better than the one on the official channel. I'm looking for a few scenarios to introduce my group to CoC before we tackle Masks of Nyarlathotep, and this is just what I was looking for! Stopping by "Shadows over Providence" after part 2 to see how that one shakes out. Thank you for putting out quality content of Chaosium's material! It makes research easy and fun!
This and Dead Light are two of my favourite scenarios. "Dead Light and other dark turns" is a must have for Keepers, you get two absolute bangers of scenarios in one booklet.
Whenever the sanity rolls are happening, it seems like the character keeps her sanity but Paula certainly looks like she does not pass the sanity roll.
Fun Fact: I’m not quite done with the episode but when checking for each of the symbols, it seems that they correspond with the multiple heads of a Cherubim, an Angel most notably known for protecting the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve were banished, just as the symbols and Saturn correspond with banishment and protection.
Also a combination of the four fixed signs of the zodiac and elements. Bull / Taurus / Earth, Lion / Leo / Fire, Man / Aquarius / Air, Scorpio / Eagle / Water. They also stand as guardians, the protecting angels in the four corners of The World card in the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot
Been many years since I've played Call of Cthulhu, and it's been very enjoyable to watch this game play and others run by Ms. Becca Scott! Also, Aabria is one of my favorite online gamers/gm.
The important thing is that you are consistent with roles to values so that each roll pair has a unique value between 1 and 100. That being said ... IMO 10-0 is not 10 nor is 00-0 100. The d10 ( the one with 1 digit per side ) represents 1 to 10, that die has no 0 value, the 0 on it represents 10. The percentile dice ( the one with 10 sides and 2 digits per side ) represents 0 to 90 in steps of 10. The range for the two together is 1-100. You simply add the two together. So 10 and 5 is 15, 00 and 5 is 5. That means that 10 and 0 is 20, 00 and 0 is 10, and 90 and 0 is 100. That's how I run it anyway.
@@JasonJanelle I would almost certainly lie to you about what my dice rolls are if I had to play at your table, because I couldn't handle a world where 10, 0 is 20. Three zero is zero, but most people roll the zero back to 100 in a closed ring. If you want to have a 0 to 99, that's the same thing. But your way is just... it hurts me deep inside to see. I think you are envisioning the numbers as the infinite number line. But it's not. It's a modulus subset of Z+, so it's a ring.The number after 99 is the number just before 1. Just picture 000 as a special value. The crit fail value. Then you don't have to abuse every other number.
Happy Birthday Erika Ishii. UR beautiful. I love Sailor Moon Super S and Eternal. Jun-Jun is beautiful. She is an enemy. But she's still good, like Sailor Saturn said. I love Halo 6 Infinite. Halo is my first favorite game. All of them, r the best. Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 76 is pretty hardcore. UR amazing Erika. Love u Sailor Juno, Lumu, Ruth, and Chelsea Wesley. You're beautiful, I have full support for u. May the Peace be with u Sailor Juno, Jun-Jun, Lumu, Ruth, and Chelsea Wesley. From Harlingen Texas. March 7, 1987 March 7, 2023 through March 7, 3023
Hrrm... Delta Green is the best system for cosmic horror. But it does owe a great debt to Call of Cthulhu, which will always be the classic that got the genre started.
I love DG and just changed my Call of Cthulhu game over to Delta Green, but a) In terms of systems, Delta Green was originally a supplement for Call of Cthulhu that literally used the CoC rules. The newer DG game is still basically 6th Edition CoC with a few tweaks and additions. So it did literally start out as CoC in the present with a big heap of '90s conspiracy stuff (X-Files, etc) thrown on top. b) In terms of setting, DG is great for modern and very gritty games. The various tweaks (SAN loss from violence and helplessness, Bonds, Breaking Point which makes Sanity loss less forgiving) are all great changes for the tone of DG, but they don't necessarily work as well for CoC depending on what you want your game to be like. Many of the Lovecraft stories were somewhat quaint (closer to 1920s sci-fi or "weird fiction" than a lot of horror today) compared to the frequently very dark tone of DG. Also in terms of scenarios, some DG scenarios are basically CoC set in the modern day, but some scenarios (e.g. Lover in the Ice) get more explicit about some stuff many CoC Keepers or players wouldn't usually touch. Also more generally, DG tends to assume characters that are over-competent by usual CoC standards, which helps the dark feeling when even those characters are pretty helpless. But if what you want is closer to the feeling of 1920s Lovecraft, or somewhat more pulpy instead of unrelenting horror, or even if you just want to play a bunch of ordinary people rather than competent agents, then CoC might be better than DG.
@@ryke_masters a) Yes, both are versions to BRP, but those changes make a difference for running the game though. b) I mean, if you are running a *horror* game, then gritty scary stuff is the aim, no? Pulp isn't horror. DG just does the horror genre better. It's what CoC should have been.
Q: Do they feature athletes who have never played the game before, on national TV? These people are not playing the game, they’re acting out personal branding for their influencer careers. Contrast, the Aussies on Chaosium Twitch are real players who love TTRPG! These folks strike me as actors looking to move on and get into a tv or voiceover career who agreed to play a game they never would have looked at otherwise, for the exposure. Nope. Call me jaded. Becca’s a good keeper but i don’t always get great ‘here for the game’ vibes from the guests to be honest. Will ignore any video with these types of good-looking but fake internet-personality players, it’s fake content. You’re not going to get 300,000 normies to start buying Call of Cthulhu books with this strategy. You might piss off some people who actually subscribe/buy your stuff, though.
The moment Miranda wigs out is brilliant.
i love that erika really takes on the classic mid atlantic accent every time she plays cthulhu, which makes me feel alot more immersed in the time period!
This gets an automatic watch/like for Aabria & Erika.
Also always happy for more Becca, I don't know Paula from anywhere, but Miranda seems fun.
I love watching Becca be Keeper. She is setting a bar for this kind of stream.

“Water? Yes! We have it!” 😂
This is what comes closest to the perfect rpg bunch. Interesting concept to.
laughing! 2:29, Winter, you look over shoulder...I do NOT!
I'm a simple guy- I see Aabria in the cast and I watch 🤷
I'm a simple girl, I see Erika in the cast and I watch 🤣
Aabria’s faces give me life, as always
"Weyland Estate". Weyland? Weyland, of the Weyland-Yutani Weylands?
"Does that name ring a bell?" In space, no one can hear your bell ringing.
The stuttering at a whole bottle had me reeling lmaoooo
"I'm just happy standing in the back not being involved with this interaction" xD Me too Cass, me too!

Great show thanks! :D
This continues to be my favorite CoC series, thanks Becca and co!

@@rdp16rulez Thanks for the recommendations, both look great!
Gotta love the little "0+00=100" reminder during the intermission
This is spooky but I can't stop watching
1:49:53 Oh god, the smiling and slow blinking and staring. *shudders*
The stream continues after the break at 1:39:44.
You're the real MVP! Thanks! ✌🏿
so many mentions of Bucolic vistas...the true horror!!
I think this is the creepiest sotry of The Calyx and I love it.
Been looking for a good CoC actual play for a while and I can say Chaosium chose well when they chose to sponsor yall. Love this so much

OMG. Just before the mid show break. (Cass) Slam the door, it's not our problem (Winter) nodding in agreement! Best reaction EVER!
This was really good! Props to Becca for running a very deceptively complex module very well!
This is one of my favourite streamed TTRPG sessions ever. So good!
This and Dead Light are two of my favourite scenarios. "Dead Light and other dark turns" is a must have for Keepers, you get two absolute bangers of scenarios in one booklet.
Love this group. They work so well together.
Great guests!
Miranda Mae is just hilarious
Love all things Becca :)
