Whom ever is doing the music/sound effects for these videos is doing a great job, I wish that the crew could hear it while they were playing!

It really adds to the tension, it's making me seriously consider experimenting with a soundboard when I DM

You’re sitting in the middle of your lecture. Your crush, Joshua, is next to you. Suddenly, you feel the need to relieve yourself. You clench your cheeks, but it can only do so much. You get up to find the bathroom, but don’t think you’ll make it. Are you going to soil yourself in the middle of a lecture, in front of Joshua… or are you on a mystery quest? 57:40 bad time for a pause. Or a great time for a pause. I’ll leave it up to you.

You’re in line at the grocery store check out, shopping cart full of meat and bread and fresh fruit and vegetables. The cashier finishes scanning your produce at an agonizingly slow pace, the line of irate shoppers behind you growing longer and longer. You reach down for your wallet… but there’s nothing there. You check your other pocket but to no avail. The cashier is looking at you confused. Everyone is looking at you. Did you forget your wallet at home? Were you the victim of an untimely pickpocketing? Or are you on a… Mystery Quest!

[@Ali-ey9sz]

You're waking up in your bed, rubbing sleep from your eyes. You roll over, your eyes falling on your clock, bathed in the noonday sun. It's 1pm, you're hours late for work. Frantically you jump out of bed, phone in one hand as you get ready. You've missed 5 calls and a voicemail from your boss. You flick to the clock app. All your alarms are disabled. Who could have done this? Your asshole roommate Brent? Your office rival Judith? Your damnable past-self? Questions whizz through your head as you realize that you're on a... Mystery Quest!

I absolutely love Ravs and Harry being married couple. I really really wish to get a director's cut edition available to everyone with some extra scenes (make it 8 hour video or something) as this is just such a joy to watch on long rides. And yes, carburetor (traditionally at the bottom of an engine) being disconnected from the brake engine was a very common issue for 193̶0̶13 Rolls Royce 40/50 H.P. "Silver Ghost"! What a nice catch from Ravs.

"Maggie?" "Perry." Love it every time that happens.

Tom being a top tier DM 6:35 gaslighting the group into believing he’s never wrong

[@lliamdavis6950]

What do you mean? Tom said 1913. Also, he has literally never been wrong in his entire life, you just told me that last week. And what is gas lighting? I've never heard of that, did your friends tell you to say that?

[@coreylemon]

Its funny because the term gaslighting originating from lying about a car, so its a full circle at this point lol

[@Techstriker1]

He might have misspoke, but that model of car is indeed pre-1930s.

[@darsol5651]

The car he showed is actually a 1913 Silver Ghost though. He might've misspoken at first, but he was correct.

[@phaolo6]

@@coreylemon I actually read it originated from the movie Gaslight 😅

[@JohanFaerie]

Love the banter between Simon and Lyds, they play off each other so well

[@Grindzy56]

I love how Lydia got Simon to try out his swindling in character. She's so great at staying in character and still getting stuff going! I love all the other players as well, this whole channel continues to entertain and impress!

[@TopLob]

I'm always so sad when the episode is over ;_; I don't want the fun to end.

[@Enercia]

I'm so pumped for the next episodes, it's going to be so very good

[@RadicalLynx]

usually I wait to binge an entire series but I just can't wait with this channel

[@GalatheonIL52NEP]

I watch it before I go to sleep and now it’s starting to get to the stages of “Hrmm, maybe I’ll watch this when it’s still daylight outside” 😅

[@JesusMcgeeBAMF]

Really enjoying the slow burn creepiness and how Perry always is doing his best to flee any spooky situation as fast as possible

[@ChanceTheCheetah]

Everyone has such wonderful characters this time around, Perry and Maggie have just amazing chemistry especially

[@ryankunst668]

Lydia at 52:54 holding up the gun and saying "No?" with an unhinged look in her eyes is my new favorite thing.

[@dsungaripterus2600]

Lydia is really getting into this now!

[@RadicalLynx]

from newbie to pro in record time!

[@garethhughes7430]

I love the "Main Cast" with swaps that seems to have happened, and they all have great chemistry

[@DEthan-]

Gods dammit, Ive spent 6 weeks looking for that wendigo! For it to just turn out to be a mystery quest is a load of croc! Wait a minute! I LOVE mystery quests! *This is a comment, for the Angorythm.*

[@PatrickTheFirst]

Brilliant as always, we definitely need more Call of Cthulhu. This is some of the best Cthulhu content out there.

[@macarotto]

Loving this. Despite the comedic way Simon and Lydia are playing it I did get a wee creepy shiver when Perry noticed the 'weird shape' in the basement full of porcelein dolls.

[@swearimnotarobot3746]

I absolutely love the intros. 57:40 Best time for a pause

[@wibblywobblysineline509]

Shout out to Ravs' characters, in both Mork Borg and this every time he speaks he exudes personality. Would love to accommodate him at my table

[@epochx7157]

Damnit Tom, I normally have a lie down and relax with Mystery Quest before bed, but this weeks episode had me on the edge of it all! Can't wait for next week, but I am officially blaming you and the crew for lost sleep tonight!

[@I_THE_ME]

If I were Simon, I would've tried to do the "communing with the beyond" by describing the woman who Simon just saw behind the window to Augustus (or what's his name). It would've made the impression to Veronica and Augustus that Simon was actually getting information from the beyond, which would've been very much on brand for his charlatan character.

[@swearimnotarobot3746]

Also, I would have loved if he started believing he was really a psychic.

[@MrHendrix17]

I'm loving this series almost as much as Ravs loves feet

[@matthewmarting3623]

I love how the cast is seriously embracing the roleplaying. They’re good at it! If you told me 10 years ago that Simon would seriously roleplay with a standard level of fucking around I would call you a liar. It makes me so happy.

[@TyphlosionGirl]

Take a shot everytime they mention that they're in a room for gasoline

[@Adam-rj7iq]

Perry and Maggie are giving Baccano Isaac and Miria vibes

[@YogiePrime]

I really like this adventure so far. It has a slower pace and builds the suspense over time, which I really enjoy. :D So many horror adventures (not necessarily the ones played on this channel) rush things too much. I remember one adventure I listened to in particular. Not even 5 minutes had passed after the character introductions and the narrator says, "You see your neighbour walk up the driveway with a shopping bag full of hands".

[@Kvalln]

Mr Corbitt as a scenario is meant to kick off quite quickly, but that does sound rushed even for that one.

[@Temprael]

I love Maggie's reaction to Perry telling her that he saw a ghost.

[@Derpingmuffin]

I know I should have headed back... but if I have to go through the artic snow to watch a Mystery Quest, I'll go through it.

[@PairOfCatEyes]

I LOLed when he mentioned the abramelin operation because i do know what it is and it supposedly cursed Alister Crowley's mansion on lock ness when he half assed it

[@dgenaraition]

Tom sets these up so cinematic, I love how he cuts between them when they;re doing stuff, really feels like a movie.

[@aethernaut1899]

Got goosebumps at a few points.

[@dariennappi1401]

[@ihatenewagekissmiarse3587]

Thank u I am not as crazy as I think I am.

[@d36class]

It was there, I watched it and commented. There was a sharp cut at the end of the video I think there were some editing mistakes or something

[@kieran6417]

Please sir. The new episode was so good what happened?

[@cyriell]

More of call of goodness is always 👌 Also this has been proper spooky and i love everyones role in it, the sound edits are on point aswell and make it alot more spooky, i was genuinely getting spooked out

[@pocketsand76]

Ah damn, now its a week until the next episode. This is the best one they've done yet.

[@dubo4411]

Love the narration from Tom. He does a great job describing enough to picture the scene, while leaving it vague enough for your imagination to run wild.

I feel like this is less Lydia playing a role than channelling a previous life. Maggie suits her so well, it's an absolute joy to watch! So glad we came back to her and Perry and Ravs and Harry are doing a wonderful job flirting with each other.

[@hanson666999]

Enjoyed this immensely. You guys should give the Alien RPG a go.

[@kamikazesopp]

Never played that one, but I'll say that Tom has expressed he prefers systems where there's room to fudge around with the rules and can be homebrewed with relative ease. Anything that requires significant number crunching is pretty much off the table instantly.

[@BigCMiner]

Good god I’m loving mystery quest. Dad and I watch it every Saturday together. This one had us both proper scared Our theory’s. Perhaps somthing couldn’t come through properly and ended up inhabiting the wife’s body. Or perhaps somthing came through and inhabited the wife and they thought she died so buried her. We’re both pretty stumped by the whole forgetting stuff

[@etherdeef4303]

How could the woman be both showing itself to perry and be in the coffin at the same time, also, both ravs and barry could hear her while she was in the coffin, so perhaps shes doing some spirit projecting or something of the like? Its clear someone else died, I think that person may have been killed by evangeline, and so whoever the illusion caster is, (strong thoughts about the maid,) they decided to wipe their memory of them. To avoid them becoming aware of their mother.
