PA Presents: Call of Cthulhu

[@emilymcmanus4024]

PLEASE make call of cthulhu a recurring game. I need this in my life

[@mikegould6590]

I think we saw Mike and Jerry boiled down to their play styles here. Would support a full time Cthulhu game

[@TheEricthefruitbat]

I love this. This needs to be a regular and frequent show on twitch/youtube. Mike is brilliant.

[@lordocasl6924]

Actually, I'm 68 years old. After watching this I realized, Thank God I'm a player and not a real character in this quest.

[@ArtHerreraLeon]

YES. So happy to see Jerry and Mike take on CoC

[@BostonDeadHead]

Right I hope this becomes a series.

[@mikegarza8648]

Perv

[@nickilecuyer7584]

AH!!!! PA need to keep this as a long running, like forever running thing. Need to permanently take on continual CoC scenarios from here on out. I'll definitely be watching these if so!

[@FabioSilva-bj5kk]

More Call of Cthulhu PLEAAAAASSSEEE. More Mike!

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

I’m down for anything with Jerry and Mike. Those two’s banter is amazing regardless of what characters they are playing.

[@jasonbrown4318]

Love to see them do a Call of Cthuhlu series.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Jason Brown honestly, I don’t know shite about CoC.

[@Natura1Wyrm]

Getting to play with Mike Mason himself, quite something. My group are currently a ways into the famous Masks of Nyarlethotep campaign. Love the elegant simplicity of the system. We've folded part of the "pulp" rules into our game, so we have some talents and enough health if we're careful we may not need to roll up a new character every d6 sessions.

[@RPGImaginings]

Nice GMing from Mike M. The "neighbors have told me" is a nice way to manage table time and introduce other perspectives quickly/subtly. I was also convinced that Nevada one-shot the main NPC for a second there. Whether he did or not, Mike does a spectacular job withholding information so long as to maximize his options later. He also shows what is possible with a CoC scenario.

[@blister4walken]

Please return to this in the future. Could be a cool mini-series.

[@tobiacancelliere6972]

This was wonderful, couldn't take my eyes off! Really hope there will be more of this, even if it may be unlikely.

[@Cata_777]

Yes, yes, yes. More of this please. This is amazing.

[@Michigan1B22]

Critical Roll AND Penny Arcade playing Call of Cthulhu on stream? Idk who pleased the Old Ones, but thank you!

[@Drewbert101]

My favorite thing about this is that it shows that no matter what system is played, Jerry will critically fail on his roll.

[@JoonasLaakso]

This was the first full actual play ttrpg session I watched all the way through. Thanks! Also the slightly revamped CoC system sounds like something I need to get on.

[@mailtompowell]

I'd love to see a regular PA CoC campaign. Mike and Jerry as players together is awesome.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

I’m loving DM Mike’s “Olde Money Michigan” accent. 😂😂

[@dirk_gently]

Maybe he's just from the UP?

[@andrewrobinson4019]

All these jars -- the true Unknowable Evil what filtered down from the stars.

[@3dartstudio007]

Spoiler alert... Twenty seven and a half minutes in Jerry takes damage from an investigation role. Awwww yissss! That sweet critical fail role strikes no matter what platform ya play ya'll!

[@htz11235]

This kind of story is definitely my favorite (as a dm), I may have to switch from DND to call of Cthulhu

[@18ps3anos]

This was a very cool run of the paper chase. I liked how the interaction with Douglas was brief and bizarre, compared with the softer tone of the suggested play. Brilliant.

[@joelcaron8291]

This is PAPER CHASE from the starter set ! Very cool adventure !! My players loved it !!

[@fredericetile2505]

Thank you for sharing this video. Very interesting to see how the author of CoC manages the game. Thanks!

[@icedcool]

Hell Yea! Any time Jerry and Mike are together makes for a great time.

[@noxluxe8674]

Two hours of Mike kicking ass and taking names. Beautiful. Also, GMs need British accents. It's a rule now.

[@rumleech]

I'm getting REAL University Challenge vibes form the way Mike Mason and the players are arranged.

[@ex-voto]

Great stuff! I am just about to run this scenario as my first CoC game. To hear how Mike Mason distributes clues & handles the questions is a massive help in solidifying the story for me. 👍

[@erichbecker3109]

So awesome! My favorite RPG! Hopefully this is a series!

[@SilverSeraph100]

Mike is an amazing Keeper as expected.

[@Spadie]

Yyyyyeesssss. I've been waiting for more people to play some CoC. I love CoC! And I love Penny Arcade! It's PERFECT

[@alqx2210]

This is AMAZING!! I NEED more of it. Thanks guys :D

[@blister4walken]

Took advantage of the discount. Starter set on its way. Hail Cthulhu :-)

[@TimdeVisser86]

Jerry's First Roll is a Critical Fail out of a 100 on his best skill. He's a cursed boy.

[@Havocfang2]

God I'd love a Pulp Cthulhu campaign with the PA gang.

[@BostonDeadHead]

Very awesome Call of Cthulhu is seriously one of my favorite systems. Very awesome line up of players!

[@TheNordmann]

I would watch this a series.

[@moonmaan]

"Imagine if you will: A ~dark~ Michigan"

[@syd4890]

Loved it. But next time put a spoiler warning. This was the "Paper Chase" module (included in the starter set).

[@aydenvis]

Thanks so much! Had to check with my Keeper to make sure I can watch this, and you helped.

[@Monowhite]

Both Critical fumbles (d100%) in this session were perfect.

[@colefesler2880]

I love how Jerry is still in DM mode

[@lordvile1209]

'i don't even know what shirk means' - nevada jones

[@ripsnortmcgee8830]

I hope this becomes a full series like Team C

[@tummygoat58]

haha identified the scenario in the first few sentences by mike mason haha

[@simonslistening]

Really enjoyed this. Hoping for more

[@ianiles1722]

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to cow-relate all its contents.

[@TheAVeidt]

10/10

[@timgray5373]

Punstur the Unspeakable.

[@anthonyragan2696]

This was great, Fine players, and Mike was a fantastic GM.

[@MisheardMetal]

Awesome roleplaying and DMing, very funny and engaging. Spoiler related comment. One thing I'd have done differently was when everyone crawled inside the mausoleum I would have had one person take watch outside while the others explored below. Even though it's dangerous splitting the party I thought it would have been even more dangerous if the groundskeeper was in on it and he or possibly someone else could have closed the lid and locked them all down there with those things, that would have been either a game over or they'd have to have been extremely lucky to try and escape through the tunnel network. Great outcome however, hope to see more to come.

[@goldenyak629]

Moar eldritch adventures from Penny Arcade!

[@myrrdyn]

...and obviously the first roll is a critical failure! :-D

[@antoniusbritannia8217]

At library skills nonetheless! I imagine he gets a paper cut, while forgetting to write down the titles, after he misfiled them.

[@WontonTV]

Jerry is excited about the Library Use skill First roll of the game is his Library Use He rolls 100 So fucking perfect 😂

[@BFGDoc]

Absolutely love this, please do more!!!! :-)

[@terrybeal2252]

Yes! Mike is playing Nevada Jones. My favorite starter set character. 😎😁

[@Joemantler]

"I've only seen tracks like this once before... This isn't 'cow', you fools! It's GOATS!"

[@topperdepop]

@39:11 The inability of anyone at this table to read a D100...

[@JohnSmith-ox3gy]

Mike rolls 105% on 100% scale

[@warpath6666]

Things are not always as they appear in a Lovecraftian milieu. Whereas, a window is a jar. LOL!!! But in all seriousness, I'm lovin' this video :)

[@paulharper5839]

Jims first magic missile 20 ;)

[@georgecruces1953]

More of these please!!!!

[@billhenry7213]

Hoping to see Pat Rothfus guest on COC.

[@Til_I_Collapse]

He already is the king of b.s.; imagine him with refreshable luck!

[@bruggeman672]

Love it though i would like t see at least once Jerry as Keeper!

[@unkomon]

Holy shit! @1:06:56 Wentworth prodicted the Corona virus by calling it Corvid (crows are actually Corvidae, he pronounced it wrong)

[@Idziemel1]

He pronounced it right. Corvidae is a latin name of the bird family (including crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, magpies, etc.) but the English word for it is Corvids. The "ae" suffix signifies plural, like the s does in English.

[@LizardBoy2211]

Well, science is not a body of knowledge, but a way of thinking, so the fact that Keiko did found something absolutely unknown it would mean just that a deeper understanding of the so-called occult is needed, but that it's still just a part of the natural world and that it can also be studied using the scientific method. I wonder why i don't ever get invited to play Call of Cathulu tho.

[@adambirch6466]

This was absolutely fantastic.

[@Steve_77008]

I was surprised how many Sanity checks were made for the same creatures during the same encounter. I would have thought that the first SAN check made when the party first the claw, would have sufficed.

[@zacharyjohnson4625]

You can lose up to the maximum amount of sanity possible for a particular monster. A ghoul can cause you to lose 6 sanity max so if you rolled a 1, then you'd have to roll again for the next ghoul you see. Once youve reached that cap then seeing the samw creature wont cause any more sanity loss. At the end of a session you'd remove a point. So if you had lost 6 sanity total for seeing ghouls, youd be fine for the rest of the session. At the end that 6 would fall back to 5, and 1 more after each session.

[@zindarafalaraax3349]

"Welcome to Nevada!" lol.

[@ZSchrink]

This was a very fun watch!

[@johnhicks1754]

Hockey stick in Michigan, perfect.

[@CreepyMagician]

No one died or went permanently insane? Mike Mason was too soft on them! :-)

[@zacharyjohnson4625]

It's an extremely easy scenario, designed for 1 or 2 players. Only so much he could do...

[@ZetHololo]

Jerry. Despite all statistics rolls the worst possible thing. I believe in math, but I doubt myself every time I see him roll.

[@james_neko]

More please!

[@hardasanut]

Nevada's from an earlier time, but remember kids: "don't drink and scythe".

[@boeclark7313]

Please make more... Soon !

[@briancourtemanche8065]

I too love the Library Use skill.

[@antoniusbritannia8217]

How can a window be a jar? Classic.

[@loganmarshall5414]

Yes Jerry it's a great Mully to Scculder ratio. Lmao

[@Skullkan6]

Running 4 players for Paper Chase? Man it is Mike but still that might be harsh without a lot of additions.

[@nearachd]

i would love to see a brand new campaign like this or some other setting apart from C team. c team = bae but something new would be cool too.

[@richarddurrer9617]

very cool, and hope you keep doing follow ups as you teased on twitter, @TychoBrahe!

[@mbalazs3544]

This was the first CoC but not the last right ? Love Omen(Jerry) and Jim(Mike) in a team :D

[@MisterTingles]

gotta say, pretty good GM

[@Byrnzi360]

Is there ever a member of the group who is actually a deep cover agent for the cult? And they suddenly reveal themselves as the villain and become a recurring enemy for future games?

[@TxRedline]

Jim Winks

[@Maseman90]

It's almost like the bald grey shirt enjoys the sound of his own voice..

[@chelseamadisetty350]

I want to know what Jerry did to piss off the Dice Gods so badly

[@seanmayer1695]

More please!!!!!😗😗😗

[@jeridbash4624]

1:04:32 Don't mind this, it's just a bookmark

[@jeffdornan5122]

Everyone needs a British DM.

[@larkfellon]

This makes me so happy!!!

[@nevadahamaker7149]

Was not expecting to see one of the PCs with the same name as me.

[@godsdemon7441]

Great game. I feel she should have received a phobia on her critical fail then some san regained once she saw they can be killed or maybe that's what would snap her out of her madness.

[@Steve_77008]

I was surprised how many Sanity checks were made for the same creatures during the same encounter. I would have thought that the first SAN check made when the party first the claw, would have sufficed.

[@Mufafu]

Is this a created one shot or something out of a module/starter set?

[@pennyarcadeTV]

This is Paper Chase module from the starter set.

[@b20schill]

Who I Dora? We need more of her.

[@NinjaKhaos74]

how is chris not in this

[@topiasprayart178]

Please tell me this is going to be a recurring game!!!!

[@jasongaylard2547]

I wish could hit like more than once.

[@silase.quester3519]

Don't suppose there's like, a generic version of this system? I like a lot of the mechanics I'm seeing, and I personally love the Lovecraftian mythos, but fellow friends and players may not be as into it. At the very least, is it easy to just use for other genres? Implement a magic system, if there isn't already one?

[@kongslips3921]

this game dose have a magic system. I know this games has a starter set, and I think it goes with a good starter campaign for friends and even one you can play solo.

[@ChaosiumInc]

Here you go: www.chaosium.com/basic-roleplaying-softcover

[@satanicpanicattheddtable2604]

Gonna have to listen all the way.through amazing

[@BillionSix]

I am a bit new to Penny Arcade stuff. Who are the two ladies? Do they work for Penny Arcade?

[@pennyarcadeTV]

They do work for PA, they are Lidija, Merchandise Manager, and Dora, Designer.

[@BillionSix]

@@pennyarcadeTV awesome! Which one is which?

[@pennyarcadeTV]

Lidija plays Keiko and Dora plays Lois

[@trevorotis172]

This is great!
