A mysterious lost expedition sets in motion an epic globe spanning adventure as investigators come face to face with ancient evils beyond the scope of human comprehension. Often considered the greatest role-playing game campaign ever written, Masks of Nyarlathotep stretches the boundaries of horror, driving both characters and players insane since its publication in 1984.

I just realized Troy opened the video with talking about the birds and the bees with his players. As in, literally talking about the birds and a bee.

[@bobbysbits2575]

Some of it sounds like the Roger Cumstone & Steve origin story

[@AlexWhipple]

I dig this group. Ross never ceases to amaze me with how quickly he can embody a character, Rob is hilarious, and Noura and Kate add some much needed class to the act. Troy, you keep the network alive. Keep it up, y'all.

[@yourspookyaunt]

Kate's adorable "...frown line sour?" confusion made me laugh so hard, I had to put my paintbrush down. She's just so earnest and rad. Glad to see her on the GCN again!

[@andytaylor6267]

This is not the birds and the bees conversation I was expecting

[@shela404]

I never get tired of hearing Ross Bryant speak

[@kaiserschnitzel89]

Jesus Christ Ross is funny sometimes

[@Dr.Thatcher]

I really miss this game. They make me miss it even more. Such a great Keeper and group of players.

[@SteelyPat]

Kate and Rob both hitting "same" nearly simultaneously at 2:15 is a good moment

[@ReplicatorFifth]

ah yes, the beginning of Troy's Disney Princess Arc :D

[@eichler721]

This is shaping up to be an amazing horror RPG. The players are great and Troy is killing it as a GM.

[@evanyes5762]

Troy doing Peruvian NPCs voices are the best part of the videos

[@jasonshortt7]

I think this is my 3rd watch through of this campaign. This show and Delta Green are amazing.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thanks!

[@screamingblue7]

Hearing Kate’s recap of the vision reminds me of Madeline Khan’s role in Clue, just the sound and pacing, it’s some entertaining chemistry across the cast!

[@AlansNewMutant]

STRAIGHT FROM THE FANG -Viliers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stewartthorpe2533]

Birdman Troy was an unexpected development 🤔

[@yourspookyaunt]

The birds and the bees with your old buddy Troy

[@bbd121]

I just got it. *(Weeps)*

[@lytalo]

Haha good story. Heroin and cocaine was legal nearly everywhere in the early 1900s. Considered a miracle drug for cough suppression and pain. I think Heroin is actually the brand nam that Bayer invented.

[@lemsdarkapprentice2535]

plus, Coca[ine]-Cola had been around since the late 1880's [el'sda2].

[@BostonDeadHead]

I'm truly digging Robs Style of RPing. This has to be most perfect cast on the whole internet for a Call Of Cthulhu game. He definitely brings something fresh to the table. I love his character he created. I'm excited to see how he dies. I'm also excited to see his back up character. I feel he's going to keep each one very unique. Ross and both the girls are top notch. If a stream like this could win a Emmy this one would sweep it. I have said this a bunch of times these need to be on network tv.

[@fitgirllegbusta2406]

Yes. That is something that happens to kind people as they get older. They appreciate the impermanent beauty of life a little more. Small problems disappear in the rapids that wash away all but the most heartfelt of matters. The real you stands as a rock, parting those waters as they erode you as well.

[@La_Lente_Oscura]

Troy! If you get a full size cut out of yourself and leave it by the feeder the birds grow accustomed to it and then eventually you go and stand in the same spot in the same position.my sister used to do this she was a wild life bird vet. They will land on you eventually

[@BON3SMcCOY]

I was skeptical when Troy first announced no og gcp in this cast, but hot damn this cast is SO GOOD

[@Warloser360]

I'm sure nothing will go wrong this episode.

[@ReadingAde]

Troy really brought it this session. This group is so good. Really looking forward to season 2

[@TheGlassCannon]

This group is great!

[@nouraibrahim6452]

Lol! I lost it when I saw the title 🤣

[@shirleyj3255]

Awesome improv with the heroin name Noura. Better than your list in my opinion.

[@blorptube]

I had an uncle who attracted a blue jay to his window every day and it would eat sunflower seeds out of his hand. There were also chickadees in the local forest when I was a kid that would land in your hand if you could convince it that you had seeds. But ya, overall they're stupid lizards.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Birds are surprisingly mean too, if you watch their behavior. Dinosaur brains! I still think they’re purdy though. Birds is ok by me.

[@nonam3party]

I love this campaign. What I always like about this scenarios and H.P. Lovecraft is how well this is placed in the real world and history so you can really belief everything is for real :).

[@marsupius]

So the real reason Rob's character is in Peru is to assasinate the guy who makes the medicine that keeps his wife alive?

[@Blackd0nuts]

1:01:00 Ross to Margot : "Yes however you wish to put it, a character! You could have him do anything, riding a little bicycle!" I'm still laughing picturing them showing the Professor a drawing of De Mendoza riding a tiny bicycle looking surprised at the "camera".

[@elmarkofler1486]

1 question 1 feedback. first the question. based on the bird story in the beginning. Is Troy now a Disney princess? feedback: lovely scene scoring heroin. The game is set long before 1931 which would be the time Bayer stopped the official production. "scoring" the drug would have been walking into a pharmacy and buying it. But I believe the scene/prep/added backstory was better than just going to the pharmacy :D

[@yourspookyaunt]

The sharp turn this comment takes is magnificent. Even moreso if taken out of context.

[@thehermitthetower1126]

you can make friends with most animals. i know a few a birds, all of th neighbrhood dogs and cats, and i currently have a praying mantis friend who laid eggs in my frog tank, i call mama mantis and she likes to jump at my face when we meet and she buries herself in my beard sometimes. they only live 1 year or so though, so mantis friendship is quick and hard! She doesnt hunt so we became friends at the end of her life but we are watching this together right now. YOU BEFRIEND THOSE BIRDS TROY!

[@ianthrower8744]

El jugo serpiente Diablo.

[@bigeye6606]

that surely is an anachronistic timline of our world. heart monitors in Peruan hospitals in the 1920's? Damn! xD Love the show :D

[@codybarnes1531]

I was thinking the same thing with the guns and heroin. Buying a pistol in circa 1920's peru should be easy. Bayer (yes the aspirin ) sold heroin tables in the 20's. Funny thing is you could have procured both at the local drug store of the day.

[@amedeus40k]

You know, like others, I too have attempted to watch live plays of Masks of Nyarlathotep, and I’m happy to say that I’m really liking this one. Troy knows how to keep the pace of the game, and the players really do a great job. I’m four episodes in, and it’s been great. Thanks everyone!

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thank you!

[@donc7664]

@The Glass Cannon Network. After your bird story, you have to get the book "Those Darn Squirrels" to read to your kids.

[@woobackwednesday2299]

Was waiting for this one! I missed this ep live because the NBA Finals were a-knocking, sadly

[@corypaine9858]

What I learned today on the pod: Troy is a Disney Princess

[@Joeys-Channel]

real good as usual

[@Tecmaster96]

Ross is very good

[@SuperCube99]

Oh hell ya, can't wait to listen to this tomorrow at work!

[@philipp6938]

love this show

[@clintonburch-bs3bb]

Love coming back to old frown line sour!

[@mitchellsink2584]

I wish I could give two thimbs up. Easily one of, if not the best live plays I've seen so far. Can't wait to binge session 5.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@noahwilson422]

Troy. You want to make friends with birds? Start by making a life-size rag doll dressed in a Red Sox cap a hoodie and an old pair of your jeans. Set it in the backyard against a fence or a tree or your house like You're decorating for Halloween. Next sprinkle the black oil sunflower seeds all over the dummy, on the shoulders on the bill of the hat on its lap etc. Just keep doing that for a week or so. Maybe 2 weeks. Then whenever you feel like it dress up like the dummy go sit in the same spot and sprinkle bird seed all over yourself and just wait for the birds to show up. Sit very still don't make any sudden movements. Eventually they'll start eating out of your lap and even your hand. You might get crapped on a couple times but that's half of the fun

[@maxnomicon]

You can't spend luck on luck rolls. Beside that, amazing group! Troy is the boss 😎

[@jasonmountain4643]

Good show. I can't wait to run this with my group next fall. We need to finish our 5E campaign first. I even got the prop set for Masks.

[@MD-zi9if]

Nothing like offsetting my Monday morning work chaos with some GCN Time For Chaos.

[@konst80hum]

Awesome game by all! Thank you !

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thanks, glad you are enjoying it!

[@billymickelson5197]

Not sure heroin - sorry, the devil's snake juice - would have been illegal in Peru, or anywhere, for that matter.

[@kalleendo7577]

Awesome!

[@bodypiercingbytom]

Monkey's Eyebrow is an actual little town in West Kentucky, near another little town called Opossum Trot!😀

[@hollyweaver7292]

Rob I'm totally with you hating parakeets! We had one that was an absolute embodiment of evil. However, outside birds are great fun.

[@matthew_thefallen]

Bird talk at the beginning was cool wtf ahaha

[@candidgamera]

Zydrate comes in a little glass vial.

[@noahjaybee]

I love having bird feeders outside my office window. I also have a few hawks in the neighborhood that swoop down to eat the smaller ones... So I've found a pile of feathers before sadly. But mostly just a few gangs of different birds that return to eat hundreds of dollars of bird seed every year, lol. Male cardinals aren't going to land on your finger Troy, but if you want to investigate yourself, they love sunflower seeds the most (in shell) so if you find that near the other bird seed, they will return forever.

[@scottsmartky]

Wow, first time seeing Kate's tattoos. Very well done by the artist. This group is so great. I really didn't expect to laugh this much during a CoC adventure, but it has been wonderful. Also chuckling that all those Black Dice Society episodes listening to B. Dave read that warning about Ravenloft, and poor Noura really needed one last episode as that was way more traumatic than having your patron speak through your fiance.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Watching without my glasses I notice this comment....I thought it was a pattern on a shirt! LOL

[@leemcalister4125]

So now I have to wait a week!!

[@otakuofmine]

I have and read the books, but couldnt run it so far. So nice to hear it hear, very atmospheric. They did such a good job with the new prologue. I think Troy doesnt fit always as GM, but this is his jam.

[@orinmayer1276]

I just you can keep the whole group intact for this grande campaign

[@lodewijkboute2311]

Love the show! And no, Ross, you are pronouncing "Fräulein" correctly! ^_^ It does mean "young lady" and you are using it in the correct context!

[@xyzaxy230]

Also a very antiquated title for someone who's not married, akin to "miss", just unusual

[@MichalRutz]

well... almost correct

[@QuantemFear]

So good

[@BostonDeadHead]

I lived in Manchester by the sea for 2 years above the video store across from Crosby's market. I also worked at Crosby's market in the Delhi for 2 years.. Then I moved to Gloucester and what a party town that was. I was 21 when I moved. That was about 25 years ago. I was a hippie kid with dreads in the 90s Manchester by sea didn't care for me much. Lol Foster was more of my pace. I got free rent in the basement of a Mansion overlooking Cranes beach it had it's own cliff and private beach. The place was gorgeous. I tended ground there and other chores it was actually a lot of work. But nothing was like waking up to that view and it was a really cool place to bring chicks back to. I miss my 20s. Im 45 now. the family that owned it came there only 2 or 3 times a year for only a week or 2 each time. This place was huge you needed a golf cart to get around it. No had access to Kayaks They had several boats. God I think im.having a mid life crisis now. I really miss my 20s. I lived at school on girls dorm floor for 2 years also. Now that I look at it. I was really blessed back then. I was also touring with phish it was my second year doing summer tour. I still tour today . packing the car and leaving early in the morning for 3 days of Phish and Debauchery on the board walk in Atlantic City starting tomorrow.

[@BostonDeadHead]

I'm commenting a lot because I heard the other thing you can do other than hitting the Like button is comment a lot it helps videos with the algorithms Whatever that does. I love the GCP and want to see it keep reaching its goals and beyond.

[@user-sq5zs1so5h]

Does anyone have any idea what the music they’re using in the hospital with the Professor is?

[@leodegon9784]

This a fun game to watch. The group seems to gel well and their fun is infectious. Or should I say parasitic?

[@larrylavoie1832]

In Canada we have birds called whisky jacks who will come and eat right out of your hand

[@TheGlassCannon]

Amazing!

[@blackstone777]

A bee? Really? What a hippy!

[@itzybitzyspyder]

Troy tells us about the birds and the bees...

[@Joemantler]

Simple pleasures.... try blowing bubbles. Esp for kids, or the dogs that like them.

[@AndrewAB]

Have I missed something? What was the card Ross holds up to the camera around 1hr 38? (Loving this series by the way!)

[@TheEpicSpire]

1:24:00 is that "some pulp" a Sopranos reference?

[@shifttheshaman]

I still giggle every time they say Larkin. I even looked up the publication date to see which way the reference went. **laughs**

[@otakuofmine]

oh, can you tell?

[@Joemantler]

"her". Bees are female, except the drones.

[@clintono]

Troy, all bees are female, except for drones, and drones only lives for 8 weeks, while the average lifespan of a bee is anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 years.

[@peterdickinson4599]

So... all bees are female. Except for those that are male. Quality information.

[@danielcrafter9349]

Upon rehearing this episode the Germans speak Fräulein mostly like Frollein with a short o.

He Man 87 was terrible! I did like the joke about rib bones. It didnt fit in the movie, but it would by hilarious in a better context!

[@upsidely2189]

Maybe tag the videos with what system your using. It's kinda confusing as it is.
