yeah- I always get my hopes up _aaaaand then_ that one person speaks up, you know, the one with a mic from 1923 that just rakes your ears- _or_ the one that drops out every third syllable- _OR_ my personal favourite; then one with serious inter personal issues.
The Glass Cannon podcast does a ton of short playthroughs of various systems. Much respect for them. Knights of Last Call is another one (their early episodes have more issues, but they got smoothed out).
Tech problems are not always the fault of the person. Networks sometimes screw up and/or break down. And some people can't afford professional equipment. And sometimes things just go wrong without any good reason.
@@hippohams To be fair you don't need to spend very much to get good audio anymore but there is some investment in knowledge and setup one may not be willing to pay.
I know a lot of people are complaining about the joking and the less than serious mood, but I love it! This is how normal people actually play games. It's not the fanciful full on voice acting Shakespearean drama that a lot of podcasts and live play try to portray. I love the camaraderie and the easy way everyone interacts. It seems a lot more natural. As for breaking immersion, I guess I've just always been that person who's always known I've been playing a game or watching someone play a game regardless of how serious or into it I get.
I believe the majority of the complaints about the laughing and joking come from people who have more experience reading and watching RPGs than they have playing RPGs. To them, it's the theory of games (Horror games must always be serious and intense to achieve drama.) or they consider it like television. Sure, we got goofy and laughed a lot. Not all my games are that silly. Some have gotten quite intense and serious. But the great majority are spent laughing our butts off. But even with all the joking, we stayed focused on solving the mystery. Combined, both videos come to about 5 hours and 15 minutes. Once you take out introductions, the recap, and closing chit-chat/wind-down, we did it in 4 hours and 15 minutes. We got a lot done in that time. There were a lot of scenes. I've played in many games that would have taken twice as long to do that.
As someone who basically have no experience with playing pen'n'paper RPGs I indeed expected playing a RPG, let alone a horror RPG, to be much more serious. But the chemistry among the players was so great and they were so funny that I did not mind their somewhat goofy attitude at all.
I actually do not see the joking as a problem as everyone was doing it. I find it a bit more off putting when only one person is being the joker while everyone else is serious though even that has its place
Comedy is natural in horror games/movies. It releases the tension and grounds the game in reality as long as the horror aspects are taken seriously and the joking stops when shit gets serious or hits the fan.
Check out 'The Lovecraft Tapes' podcast. The style and tone is very similar. It's not as well produced as this (at least to start with), but like this it doesn't take itself too seriously and has fantastic role playing and chemistry between the players and GM. As you say it reminds me far more of your average game than being sculpted and scripted and packaged for consumption to the extent it's more a production piece than a real game. I think this is why this is one of the few (along with this video) actual plays I can actually listen to.
Imagine if one day a video like this one just drops on youtube and there's both Seth and Dweebles playing, each one with his own cam, completely smooth and without any explanation xD
Skid is absolutely inspired as the "talent" for the team. Everybody moved mountains in this stream, but Skid is the MVP in my book. 10/10 great show, guys.
I love everyone here, even though Seth is the only person I initially knew about. It speaks well of their talent and how they meshed with a guest so easily that I got endeared to them in a few minutes. I’m one of those people who enjoy laughs and silliness in horror games, as long as the mystery and immersion stays, and I think this group got the balance right. 🎉
I can't help but really like Skid Maher - he seems like a friendly, humble, easy going guy, and the fact that he looks like Andrew Klavan with hair also helps. What a fun group! Wish I had a gaming group like this. Thanks for sharing the session with us!
Holy shit my dad is a cinematographer and I was his assistant and that is exactly what it's like. Pockets bursting with batteries, cables, clamps, tape. Very accurate
@@viceroy___ I like that the mechanics are pretty logical and mainly easy to grasp - basically roll less than your skill in x or whatever and extreme rolls either provide extreme nastiness or goodness. I also think because combat in CoC tends to be lethal people avoid it so theres more emphasis on other areas of roleplay
Jack the NPC gets his own show..... he gets to play his character “Seth “ playing a character. You guys have to launch that News channel and show. The Delta Green Team on this investigation will love these guys..... .
You guys have so much chemistry and Mr. Lavallee ran this great especially for a first time Keeper. I come back and rewatch this here and there (like right now.)
I know this was from two years ago, so you may not see this, but this video started playing while I was sleeping. I was dreaming that I was invited to play with you guys, but I was never getting a turn to do anything. When I did get a turn, I was going to say, "i've been sitting at home watching game shows, and there was breaking news about a murder in town. I send a group text saying, 'Guys, did you hear about a murder in town?' " I woke up before I got my turn. You guys can be real jerks.
Glass Cannon is top tier stuff. Also check out their series: Androids and Aliens (first 90ish are podcast, then are on UA-cam), Get In The Trunk, and New Game Who Dis for some amazing content. Probably many others, but these are some I’ve really enjoyed so far.
@@dubuyajay9964not sure about Scott Parker but bombshell is a code word Seth and his group used to say "shits heading south, let's go loud" Scott brown was a real estate agent(npc) known for being violent if something got in his way the way
This is the best live play ever. Period. I laughed so hard, i had to stop watching this on the subway. Voice acting, the spotlight on the characters, pacing, the roleplaying aspects are top quality.
"You look like you were thinking of my old friend, Scott Parker" "I'll come back later and buy a suit for that funeral!" 6 AM and I laughed like a maniac.
Man, I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching this but it's awesome! This feels pretty much spot on for when we play CoC in terms of the mix of zany schemes, out-of-character bits, and abject horror when the creep factor ratchets up. What an awesome group! Excited to see the ending for sure. Everyone nails their roles as well so the play off each other perfectly!
"Dylan, how comfortable are you posing as a police detective?" Absolutely slayed me lmfao. Delivered with almost the same energy as, "Have you ever been in a...turkish prison?"
The whole debate about that stealth roll from 52:30 onward is a great example of how to properly negotiate with your GM. It's awesome to see the trust these guys have for each other at the table.

@@cambionblack7939 Actually I've got the one with Keye Luke playing right now. The yellowface and sterotyping is deeply offensive from a 2022 perspective, but if you can power through it the acting's actually decent, there's some good comedy between Keye Luke and the bumbling kleptomaniac sidekick guy, and the murder plot seems pretty solid so far. Always liked seeing Luke on screen, especially when he was working alongside Mantan Moreland. Both of them were grossly underappreciated actors back in the day, but that's 1940s Hollywood for you. What was the name of that old Magic card that looked like it had Werther's candies on it? Greed, maybe? I remember everyone shouting "Werthers!" every time it got played...
This is like when chocolate and peanut-butter found one another. Two great channels that are great channels together. Thank you Glasscannon and well done Seth!
I caught this live on twitch and damn.. this was so good I might actually just watch it again. Been a GCN fan for years. Never heard of Seth till now, but he seems like a lot of fun. Subscribed.
I don't normally enjoy actual plays much but man, I'm only 23 minutes in so far and I can't stop laughing. These guys seemed like a lot of fun to play with. Great video so far, I'm looking forward to finishing it!
Wow! The restaurant scene with the coroner was just the best. Seth easily had the best line in context, "We better report this credit card stolen in a few minutes." 🤣
After watching this I picked up the adventure and ran it twice. We took the angle of a Weird Weekly World News crew, threw in lots of UHF (Weird Al) station references, and let the teams go nuts on modern conspiracy shows. We leaned into Florida's craziness and belief in X-Files & Cryptids. It was fantastic!
watching this while painting some vintage Heritage mind flayers of all things and I tend to hold brushes in my mouth to transition from one type to another during the paint process. Part of the video made me burst out laughing sending 2 brushes flying. Really Great stuff!!!
Man, this was just a blast to watch. I’m so happy. A little over a year ago I was scouring UA-cam for reviews and videos about Cyberpunk Red and two channels resonated with me: Seth’s and The Glass Cannon. I’ve been *consumed* with this TTRPG hobby ever since. I appreciate this channel (and GCN) so much. Thank you for this.
You've set a gold standard here. Subscribed to GCN. PCs begin utterly focused on themselves and professional goals, perfectly embedding them in the mystery. Never seen it achieved this well. Brilliant!
I was so confused at first, when I got the notification I thought. "Hol- is- intimate???*" then the intro rolled and I realized it was a scenario play and not a guide on bard related roleplaying acivities
Seth I am a younger gamer (21) and I’ve been running and playing B/X d&d and recently realized how awesome Call of Cthulhu is thanks to your videos. I am starting a weekly game night with some high school friends and I haven’t decided if I wanted to run B/X which I understand or Call of Cthulhu which seems fun but more difficult to run successfully for my friends. I was JUST thinking about how seeing actual play from you would be awesome and lo’ and behold 10 seconds ago you upload just that video! I’m sure once I get a better grasp of skills and sanity over the next few days along with this actual play video I will be able to make a better decision on which game to run!
For Call of Cthulhu, I recommend picking up the free Quickstart rules and running a couple of them through The Haunting. It's a super-cheap (cheap as free) way to at least test the waters to see how you all like it.
The Haunting is a good step-off point for both an introduction to CoC but also to the PCs (whom survive) to form a Paranormal Investiagtion group that would make future adventures more easy to manage starting off
I never watch these types of sessions. I've tried, even stuff like Critical Roll, but for some reason it's never done it for me. This, however, I watched from start to finish, and would more than gladly do so again! So many cool and funny moments!
I really hate watching other people play, it's boring and tedious and ehhh. God this was great, you were great and you had great chemistry with them. It was funny and at the same time I was genuinely really really into the mystery.
What a gift for the fans! As a fan of both Seth and the GCP, this was a dream come true. Thank you for doing this with the guys! There's great chemistry, and I haven't seen Skid that giddy in quite some time!
You gotta find the right time to do it. In one of their past shows (androids and aliens) they decided to go off the written adventure a little bit to go on a live TV interview, and it is so hilarious as they role-play it out (I believe thebepisode is called "good morning glipglorp")
"My college tuition is in those cards, man." 😂 "You look like you were thinking of my old buddy, Scott Parker." 🤣 "You kids and your amateur pornography." 🤣
My two favorite gaming channels combining like Voltron! Seth is the reason I now ref Pulp Cthulhu and as a long-time Pathfinder GM I love to listen to the GCP! Now I want to hear Seth GM the GCP guys in a Traveller game! Shut up and take my money!
This is great! The “get a gym membership and apply myself” line really got me😂. I would’ve liked character names along with or even in place of player names while the game was on, but that’s a small small gripe. I’d love to see more of these👍👍
This was great, you are all very funny. This sounds to me like the old Firesign Theater guys doing a CoC adventure. Truly awesome stuff. I hope this becomes a routine thing. You all have excellent chemistry together.
I didnt know of glass cannon before this..... they owe ya atleast one sub, and Troy seems an excellent game runner, and I love watching ya get to play.
This was absolutly awesome. I tried to watcg cthulhu actual plays before but they were always so slow and boring. But this Daily Flügelhorn crew was so much fun!
I've been wanting to see a live play of CoC for a while after seeing so many of your reviews, and then I saw this pop up on my feed. I was surprised that I was crying from laughing so hard because everyone is so freaking funny. XD
I absolutely love this! It's just the right amount of tense dread and comedic roleplay that really sells the horror with an optimistic cast. A shame that Chuck doesn't talk that much, but every character here is absolutely incredible and they all fit together really well :)
And so many good quotes to come out of this. "So people can look for intimate encounters." - "dot com." "We weren't that close, just that kinda close when you grab each other's packages." "You've got that look on your face like you were just thinking about my old friend Scott Parker!"
A truly special night, cannot wait for part 2 tonight. Grant getting Covid was a blessing in disguise. Seth, your voice is as rich as dark velvety chocolate and you supply a wonderful mix of smart and calculated role playing, in depth knowledge of the system, while also being appropriately silly. Truly a class act, and thank you for gracing the Naish with your presence. You won many of us over and converted a lot of fans. Hope to see you around more in the future! (Also, your community seems amazing too =D)
This is absolutely fantastic! This is the equivalent of an NBA all-star game for me. The best guys in the show putting on an amazing performance. Thanks!
As a forever Keeper, Handler and DM, Seth has done so much for me. In terms of understanding rules and general GM philosophy, he is a godsend. Introducing me to Glass Cannon is a whole 'nother thing. It's really refreshing to see a "forever GM" play a game but also represent some folks who really understand why the medium is so much fun and unique. Bravo!
Wait this is actually so cool! I've been listening to the glass cannon podcast and watching you for multiple years at this point. A crossover I would never have imagined happening.
As a born and raised Georgia Boy, I'm stealing that character concept and making it my own. He may even be addicted to Coca-Cola, since it was made in Georgia.
Man! Two of my favourite UA-cam Channels coming together! Best crew you could hope for! Great show Seth (and thanks to the guys at the Glass for having you over). Hope to see more of you guys playing together! I’d love to see a series using classic CoC with you running the game for the Glass guys! Looking forward to part 2. Long live Scott Parker (nah, not feeling positive about that)!
“I’ve got an idea, this is crazy, but what if we lure this guy out and just *shoot* him…” When you put it like that, it makes all the rest of investigative techniques seem kinda silly.
Absolutely amazing, riveting , Fantastic in game play And character backgrounds, improvisation which made it so watchable so happy to found this channel with real role-plays and real gameplay
The glass cannon guys are phenomenal. A lot of their content is like how this session went. They have gone on to say numerous times that their playstyle is basically how you play with your friends. Lots of laughter and had to be there moments
I usually don't watch these kinds of videos, but I gave this one a shot and I absolutely loved it. You guys have fantastic chemistry, it very fun watch you. I'll make sure to tune in live!
I've never laughed so hard for ANY actual play series more than this! The quick thinking and problem-solving show how much experience all of you have too. Here's hoping I'll get there myself one day (and more than a few Seth videos)!
Hey Seth awesome video huge fan of the channel it’s really cool that you are sorta like dm royalty on UA-cam I’ve discovered you semi recently like the last 3/4 months and have continually binge watched your content. Having watched a healthy chunk of RPG content and guides, really just nerdy/gaming channels in general this channel is by far my favorite everything from the actual advice/review content to the editing and acting you do it’s inspirational. I hope we get to continue to enjoy your content for a long time!
I am so happy to see this pairing! Been a long time member of the Naish and a long time fan of Seth's channel and books! How exciting to see this happen! So stoked!
As others have already said: this is honestly the BEST tabletop roleplay I've probably ever had the distinct pleasure of witnessing! No personal baggage, no weirdo garbage, just honest roleplaying by very VERY talented guys. Skid Maher and Troy Lavalee could (and should) do professional voice work, but all of the guys just mesh together so we'll. They don't try to compete for personal gain or go on an ego trip- they just have fun. Truly a fantastic experience and I really really REALLY HOPE they do this on a regular basis with this same group. I went to Glass Cannon's channel and could not find these guys, but did find more of the same old woke stuff that has crept in and ruined so many other games... However, I could follow these guys anywhere!
It is a salve to my soul to finally find a web based show where everyone has a clean mic, stable connection and energetic presence.

Dude, this is the funniest horror game I have ever watched. You guys are hysterically funny.
you should look up Kikoskia Call of Cthulu
watching this while painting some vintage Heritage mind flayers of all things and I tend to hold brushes in my mouth to transition from one type to another during the paint process. Part of the video made me burst out laughing sending 2 brushes flying. Really Great stuff!!!
Man, this was just a blast to watch. I’m so happy. A little over a year ago I was scouring UA-cam for reviews and videos about Cyberpunk Red and two channels resonated with me: Seth’s and The Glass Cannon. I’ve been *consumed* with this TTRPG hobby ever since. I appreciate this channel (and GCN) so much. Thank you for this.
You've set a gold standard here.
Subscribed to GCN.
PCs begin utterly focused on themselves and professional goals, perfectly embedding them in the mystery. Never seen it achieved this well. Brilliant!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed! Welcome!
Remy is not as wacky as the others, but he does a great job at organizing the other players and the story. Congrats Joe O'Brien.
I was so confused at first, when I got the notification I thought. "Hol- is- intimate???*" then the intro rolled and I realized it was a scenario play and not a guide on bard related roleplaying acivities
Seth I am a younger gamer (21) and I’ve been running and playing B/X d&d and recently realized how awesome Call of Cthulhu is thanks to your videos. I am starting a weekly game night with some high school friends and I haven’t decided if I wanted to run B/X which I understand or Call of Cthulhu which seems fun but more difficult to run successfully for my friends.
I was JUST thinking about how seeing actual play from you would be awesome and lo’ and behold 10 seconds ago you upload just that video! I’m sure once I get a better grasp of skills and sanity over the next few days along with this actual play video I will be able to make a better decision on which game to run!
For Call of Cthulhu, I recommend picking up the free Quickstart rules and running a couple of them through The Haunting. It's a super-cheap (cheap as free) way to at least test the waters to see how you all like it.
The Haunting is a good step-off point for both an introduction to CoC but also to the PCs (whom survive) to form a Paranormal Investiagtion group that would make future adventures more easy to manage starting off
I never watch these types of sessions. I've tried, even stuff like Critical Roll, but for some reason it's never done it for me. This, however, I watched from start to finish, and would more than gladly do so again! So many cool and funny moments!
"I'm thinking of getting a gym membership and just... applying myself." That was outstanding.
I really hate watching other people play, it's boring and tedious and ehhh.
God this was great, you were great and you had great chemistry with them. It was funny and at the same time I was genuinely really really into the mystery.
Oh my God! "This drone paid for itself." "You can dress provocatively if you want to!"
I am SO looking forward to Part 2.
What a gift for the fans! As a fan of both Seth and the GCP, this was a dream come true. Thank you for doing this with the guys! There's great chemistry, and I haven't seen Skid that giddy in quite some time!
I was sent here by those sons of guns at the GCP. Your channel looks awesome and I look forward to enjoying your content.
I normally check out of actual plays about 30 minutes in. This was great and a lot closer to an actual table experience.
Oh man! A Seth actual play?? I'm so down to watch this and see the master at work.
I appreciated Troy's decision not to RP the interview and his quick explanation and summary.
You gotta find the right time to do it. In one of their past shows (androids and aliens) they decided to go off the written adventure a little bit to go on a live TV interview, and it is so hilarious as they role-play it out (I believe thebepisode is called "good morning glipglorp")
One thing I wish was asked to the Coroner was the condition of the other organs. Beyond that quibble I am loving this!
Seth's head shot is looking on point. Very suave Seth. Thanks for introducing me to these guys. They seem fun.
As a Seth, this was great. I am rewatching. And now watching all of Seth's content.
"My college tuition is in those cards, man." 😂
"You look like you were thinking of my old buddy, Scott Parker." 🤣
"You kids and your amateur pornography." 🤣
"You're not using my phone for this, it's bad enough you're setting me up to be murdered."
A man's got to have his priorities, right?
Even funnier to me, the old ladies response isn't even that improbable in NYC 😂
I've watched these two videos about 5 times. It is my favourite session of rpg to watch because its like a normal game 😊
My favorite Gaming UA-camr with my favorite gaming podcasters 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
They made D&D legal again! 😂
Lock up your kids!
What a fun, creative group. Seth, I think you've found your people.
Way cool! Thanks for the shout out, Seth and Glass Cannon Network!
I still laugh at the coroner’s request for more lobster. This RP is 1 in 10^10000000000000000000000
Thank you
I feel slightly vindicated about my own obsessive note taking by seeing Seth writing down stuff every few seconds too. 😅
I’m not sure, but I think I’ve watched this scenario four times now. I absolutely love the GCN and Seth-energy.
Now it is my comfort stream.
My two favorite gaming channels combining like Voltron! Seth is the reason I now ref Pulp Cthulhu and as a long-time Pathfinder GM I love to listen to the GCP! Now I want to hear Seth GM the GCP guys in a Traveller game!
Shut up and take my money!
"He's a good man, let's ruin his life." Instant classic!
SETH AND THE GCP Together!?!? This is too much to handle. Love the Ep.
This was like an old school radio drama. Well played guys. It was really entertaining. The hunt for Scott Parker is on....
Is it just me or is it kind of wired to see Seth play with actual people instead of just with himself multible times?
This is great! The “get a gym membership and apply myself” line really got me😂. I would’ve liked character names along with or even in place of player names while the game was on, but that’s a small small gripe. I’d love to see more of these👍👍
This was great, you are all very funny. This sounds to me like the old Firesign Theater guys doing a CoC adventure. Truly awesome stuff. I hope this becomes a routine thing. You all have excellent chemistry together.
Still one of favourite playthroughs to watch. I wished you'd all do another one :D.
I didnt know of glass cannon before this..... they owe ya atleast one sub, and Troy seems an excellent game runner, and I love watching ya get to play.
This is the first playthrough that I have watched all the way from start to finish. So freaking entertaining!
this was hilarious. I had never seen/heard of Glass Cannon Network before but this made me a fan.
Awesome!
This was absolutly awesome.
I tried to watcg cthulhu actual plays before but they were always so slow and boring. But this Daily Flügelhorn crew was so much fun!
I decided to re-watch this series again, and I'm still so entertained. Amazing work by everyone!
Ok, I have to say, this is the only TTRPG video I have actually managed to watch beyond about 5 minutes before getting bored. I can't wait for part 2.
Skid and Seth in a single place? A wish come true!
I've been wanting to see a live play of CoC for a while after seeing so many of your reviews, and then I saw this pop up on my feed. I was surprised that I was crying from laughing so hard because everyone is so freaking funny. XD
MY MAN SETH,
You're my boy (Seth). You're the best support and cheese character. I've never heard of these boys but this collab is sick.
this is the finest actual play ive ever seen.
I absolutely love this! It's just the right amount of tense dread and comedic roleplay that really sells the horror with an optimistic cast. A shame that Chuck doesn't talk that much, but every character here is absolutely incredible and they all fit together really well :)
And so many good quotes to come out of this.
"So people can look for intimate encounters." - "dot com."
"We weren't that close, just that kinda close when you grab each other's packages."
"You've got that look on your face like you were just thinking about my old friend Scott Parker!"
A truly special night, cannot wait for part 2 tonight. Grant getting Covid was a blessing in disguise.
Seth, your voice is as rich as dark velvety chocolate and you supply a wonderful mix of smart and calculated role playing, in depth knowledge of the system, while also being appropriately silly. Truly a class act, and thank you for gracing the Naish with your presence.
You won many of us over and converted a lot of fans. Hope to see you around more in the future!
(Also, your community seems amazing too =D)
This is absolutely fantastic! This is the equivalent of an NBA all-star game for me. The best guys in the show putting on an amazing performance. Thanks!
As a forever Keeper, Handler and DM, Seth has done so much for me. In terms of understanding rules and general GM philosophy, he is a godsend. Introducing me to Glass Cannon is a whole 'nother thing. It's really refreshing to see a "forever GM" play a game but also represent some folks who really understand why the medium is so much fun and unique. Bravo!
Wait this is actually so cool! I've been listening to the glass cannon podcast and watching you for multiple years at this point. A crossover I would never have imagined happening.
As a born and raised Georgia Boy, I'm stealing that character concept and making it my own. He may even be addicted to Coca-Cola, since it was made in Georgia.
Man! Two of my favourite UA-cam Channels coming together! Best crew you could hope for! Great show Seth (and thanks to the guys at the Glass for having you over). Hope to see more of you guys playing together! I’d love to see a series using classic CoC with you running the game for the Glass guys! Looking forward to part 2. Long live Scott Parker (nah, not feeling positive about that)!
The fastest 3+ hours of actual play I've ever sat through! This was a delight to enjoy and I can't wait to gnaw through part 2.
Seth + GCN = gaming nirvana
“I’ve got an idea, this is crazy, but what if we lure this guy out and just *shoot* him…”
When you put it like that, it makes all the rest of investigative techniques seem kinda silly.
These characters are absolutely the best. Only GCP could take a horror setting and make it hilarious.
Absolutely amazing, riveting , Fantastic in game play And character backgrounds, improvisation which made it so watchable so happy to found this channel with real role-plays and real gameplay
This is an uncommonly good game. You guys are hilarious. Great work.
The glass cannon guys are phenomenal. A lot of their content is like how this session went. They have gone on to say numerous times that their playstyle is basically how you play with your friends. Lots of laughter and had to be there moments
This is so much fun. Love Glass Cannon and it's great to see Seth play.
I usually don't watch these kinds of videos, but I gave this one a shot and I absolutely loved it. You guys have fantastic chemistry, it very fun watch you. I'll make sure to tune in live!
I've never laughed so hard for ANY actual play series more than this! The quick thinking and problem-solving show how much experience all of you have too. Here's hoping I'll get there myself one day (and more than a few Seth videos)!
Hey Seth awesome video huge fan of the channel it’s really cool that you are sorta like dm royalty on UA-cam I’ve discovered you semi recently like the last 3/4 months and have continually binge watched your content. Having watched a healthy chunk of RPG content and guides, really just nerdy/gaming channels in general this channel is by far my favorite everything from the actual advice/review content to the editing and acting you do it’s inspirational. I hope we get to continue to enjoy your content for a long time!
I am so happy to see this pairing! Been a long time member of the Naish and a long time fan of Seth's channel and books! How exciting to see this happen! So stoked!
No spoilers, but that first time when the whole group started to laugh, I had tears rolling down my checks I was laughing so hard! Good work!!!
As others have already said: this is honestly the BEST tabletop roleplay I've probably ever had the distinct pleasure of witnessing! No personal baggage, no weirdo garbage, just honest roleplaying by very VERY talented guys. Skid Maher and Troy Lavalee could (and should) do professional voice work, but all of the guys just mesh together so we'll. They don't try to compete for personal gain or go on an ego trip- they just have fun. Truly a fantastic experience and I really really REALLY HOPE they do this on a regular basis with this same group. I went to Glass Cannon's channel and could not find these guys, but did find more of the same old woke stuff that has crept in and ruined so many other games... However, I could follow these guys anywhere!
Tbh i think CoC is better for this kind of thing in general
