woops!

[@johnharro2424]

Really annoyed with so many channels with members.... I want this, main channel and Games night members content but all together so expensive 😢

[@Blisterdude123]

@@johnharro2424 I mean the nature of that is you can pick and choose. I'm not a member on every Yogs channel, but there are some I'd definitely support because it's more specifically in line with my interests.

[@manueldubovsky8524]

Yeah! S*** the bed! let's go!

[@distantignition]

Wow. You all liked your own comment. That's a huge faux pas on the internet. You're supposed to hate any comments you leave for others and be full of self-loathing. Let me know if you need any pointers.

[@doublepegleg9755]

God damn this I've wanted this channel for years and they got mother fucking legend Tom Clark running it.

Best day ever right here. Oh boy.

It's like a dream come true... Now all I need is direction, purpose, and someone who would care if I live or die and bada bing bada boom, winner at life, baybee!

[@notthesonofwilliam788]

I'd love to join the fandom - what's the verdict on Tom? What great GMing can I expect?

[@Dan.Hibiki]

I just wanted Tom in the intro to end it with "And you spot him... Shia LaBeouf"

[@Geothesponge111]

Exactly what I was thinking of.

[@properpauper]

Pyrion is killing it. "It could end up with a Second Great War!" "Nein, nein, impossible! Nonsense! If it does start, it vont be us. I guarantee you zat."

[@aidengoodrich5974]

Gotta love that Toms first instinct is always to play as a pre-existing characters brother.

[@smeatar]

I like it. It’s a good way of loosely linking things together

[@Corker333]

Pyrion roleplaying as a German (and also dog) is a constant joy.

[@garr_inc]

Who else to play a German but Hermann Höring himself.

Man, after the Simon & Big Lyds *Call of Cthulhu* mystery quest, this is a _spectacular_ follow-up and expansion to their adventures.

[@DrFilch]

Oyes. After watching that one I got the big sads over having to wait for more, then I noticed this was up already! Truly a blessed day for all of Tomdome

[@PumpkinMelon]

[@jacobmould1576]

This is an absolutely fantastic roster imo, glad to see Pyrion back as he was great in the Blackwater Creek series. Super happy to see more Call of Cthulhu

Watching Simon write is something I can never unsee 😂😂

[@Petrslav]

I need to try and write that way. It looks so uncomfortable! It's wild how everyone learns to write in different manners.

[@aaroncrandall3281]

How do you write like that! I'm amazed!

[@BimpytheWimpyShrimpy]

@@Petrslav Man, ain't it just? I always hyperfocused on forcing it "the right way", to the point that I'd keep my pinkie and ring-finger pressed so hard into the table two of the fingerjoints now often locks _inwards._

[@Zero-0N3]

Some backstory on that, Simon has mentioned he used to be left-handed and with the schooling the way it was, he was forced to write with his non-dominant hand. Now, it’s a bit late to change back or to change grip, so he deals with peeps staring a little. Atleast, in the modern day, any way of writing is passable.

[@phill2065]

Lydia really nailed the posh lady character

For future reference, a diagnosis is the current condition of a patient, and a prognosis is how that condition could progress for better or worse

[@Erebusdidnothingwrongish]

I was there for the original Simon and Lewis Minecraft series. I am nearly 40 and I have come and gone over the year. I have been keeping tabs on the Jingle Jam, and the Poker Games. Thank you for bringing joy to my life. I laughed my ass off when I first saw Yogscast. I am very happy that through all the struggles you seem to still be enjoying life. Tom, you are lovely. You're voice relaxes me. I would probably go away from one of the games you ran believing I was really in that world. Excellent ensemble of guests. I just saw the advert short for this channel and I hoped. My hopes have been validated. It's the best start to a weekend of relaxing I have had for a long time. Thank you all kind souls :)

[@smeatar]

I’m a couple of years younger than you but other than that your comment could have been written by me

[@Erebusdidnothingwrongish]

@@smeatar that's good tonknie. Us OG FAN’s need to speak up. We are the bedrock of their success. We stayed when many left. When did you first hear of them and what did you watch? :)

I myself am 24 years old I watched Lewis and Simon from the start aswell this is truly amazing shame they dont get the views these days!

[@katieheys3007]

It's so nice to have people around my age who've been watching for years too. This isn't a slight on the younger folk at all, I just wondered sometimes if I'm one of the oldest fans haha

never imagined a sentient beard could have such a great keeper voice

[@schwardo]

Saw TomB & Pyrion in the thumbnail and thought for a second it was gonna be the return of Sonny and Horatio

[@jacobbolton2612]

where are the characters sonny and horratio from?

[@justinlee9258]

​@@jacobbolton2612Horatio wws pyrion's character from yogsquest 7 and Sonny was Harry's from yogsquest 10 I think

[@jamespeterson9620]

I love it when people are sent on a secret mission to investigate a super weapon and immediately announce themselves and their plans and the GM has to be completely permissive of their foot in mouth.

[@kumquat3212]

Just finished the video with Simon and Lydia on the main channel and came straight here. So hyped for this!

[@kidmockparodies]

Very strange not to see Tom introducing the video with "A-BAMMM!!!!" Super stoked for everything happening on this channel 😁

[@horrisnorris6478]

I'm so happy that this channel exists. Yogsquest, especially the Star Wars series, is my favourite thing the Yogs have ever done

[@connoranderson3090]

Everytime Lydia speaks I start laughing, love these so much. You can tell just how passionate everyone involved is.

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

Ten minutes in: While I was hoping for the return of Griswold, Sonny and Pendragon I'm still really excited about this series and channel as a whole!

[@shroomyd.7260]

Professor Griswold did get sent careening and screaming into the void of Azathoth so I wasn't surprised to not see him but I would've loved to see Sonny to continue the Cravello legacy.

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

@@shroomyd.7260 That is true, but I reckon if he got a crit success on a rock throw, Old Griswold could have taken Azathoth out

what is this s reference to? i really wanna watch it!

[@shroomyd.7260]

@jacobbolton2612 on the Games Night channel there are 4 Call of Cthulhu campaigns that are all at least double the size of this one and they're all absolute gold.

In the channel trailer video comments, I requested a Call of Cthulhu series. I know this is pre-recorded but it made my day!

[@morg444]

I love how they all 100% commit to the role play...Tom is always convincing

[@gd1247]

I absolutely love the cast already. Seeing Tommy B. is always a (semi) rare treat (I still miss the foley streams) and the regulars are obviously amazing.

[@Piranhafish123]

Awesome 😮 Tom is great as DM and I love that we have 4 episodes already!

[@iancotton4963]

Love seeing Tom as a GM

[@potato9455]

Always good to have Pyrion along for Cthulhu

[@KaioKev1n]

This is my bread and butter. Tom running a tabletop game is some of my favorite content on KZbin.

[@JesusMcgeeBAMF]

Always love DM (or keeper) Tom and I’m not sure I could pick a better crew for the first episode (although Harry or lew lew would be great too, so many good options)

[@AberrantChibi]

That moment when Tom mentions that little tidbit of mythos lore and you recognize it for that it is.

[@ghostboi8363]

Not gonna lie, that starting segment had me thinking Tom was gonna break into Actual Cannibal Shia LeBeouf

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

This channel deserves millions of views, like in the good old days. KZbin really put a arrow in the knee.

[@rellikx7519]

One of my favorite things about the Cthulhu Mythos is that there's almost always some old wise professor... like Professor Grizwald 😂

[@beardedbovel]

The irony of hearing Tom say: "Schmutzi (meaning dirty) is very clean!"

[@hansanpaints]

Amazing channel! Amazing content. Call of Cthulhu has been my go-to P&P for 25 years and I have always been delighted when Tom DMd it. The roster of this one-shot has done a stellar job. IMPORTANT: THE EDITING (sound and cut) IS SPOT-ON! whoever has done it: Chef's Kiss
