    Virgil mentions that this is a prequel to the earlier episodes, but Will mentions his phobia of modern art. That phobia was acquired in the second episode, which is supposed to occur AFTER the events of this adventure. This is a clear retconning of the Tabletop Game Theory canon.

      Sir, that is not a retcon, I served in the air force in World War I, as a troop, I can tell you that Will had a phobia of modern art from the beginning, but that phobia was cured at the end of this when they were all cured of their madness, and then he re-acquired the exact same phobia in the second episode. Boom! Headshot. This is canon. There is no retcon. Lib destroyed with facts and logic.

      His initial phobia revolved around neo-Fauvist social realism. It only metastasized into a general fear of modern art during the events depicted in the aforestated video. Sir. Good sir

    In the original scenario, there's a guy that works at a morgue who the neighbor is working with to get body parts, in exchange for supplying him with drugs. The journal entries that Virgil skips, besides the funeral entry, are the ones where the neighbor exposits on it. It makes sense for Virgil to have removed that guy to streamline the adventure, but I don't think it occurred to him that without that detail, there's no reason for Will, Matt, and Felix not to think that Jeffstein is just a murderer.

Therefore all of the D&D rules for the Call of Cthulhu setting have been revised and retconned for the canonically CORRECT rolls that Will and Felix made, and Virgil did not make any mistakes as a DM. I will write a letter to the president of Miskatonic University, where you teach, to inform him of your slander here, and I challenge you to say this to Virgil’s face, in front of his wife!

Chris is hilarious on his own, he'd bring a different energy to Virgil's "as you know, I am a gamer" style. He does have a similar deadpan delivery in his locker. Anyway much love to Virgil, thank you for the Game Theory episodes, hope they continue in one way or another.

    • @BlueSkullFish
      @BlueSkullFish 4 роки тому +1

      It’s a really diverse scenario, probably one of the best IMO. If they don’t intervene soon enough Man-Bagari (yog sothoths son) becomes strong enough and will kill Mr Corbitt (jeffstein) and will escape, and the investigators will be tormented by news stories of people being killed horribly. They can also feed and raise Man-bagari but he will turn on them when he is strong enough
