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.

Season 3 can't come soon enough

[@cybermephit]

As Desmond lays his hands on the two scepters, in his mind they turn into a hammer and a sickle... Can't wait for the next season of Marx of Nyarlathotep!

[@donc7664]

Standing ovation for the cast, but let the record show Rob is the man and Carter is my fav character from any actual play.

[@corypaine9858]

I am so excited! This show inspired me to start my own CoC game. This MAY be the strongest show on the network.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thanks!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Strongest overall cast, maybe… strongest show is probably up to ones’ personal taste. Though personally i agree. 😉 This is my favorite RPG show of all time. (I’m a long-time CoC player so this is my sh*z)

[@Kendra-qh4qm]

ALSO! Did anyone else come into the finale with a mindset of, "at least if everyone else dies, Vaughn survives to carry on the work?"

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. ~Winston Churchill

[@thecaveofthedead]

Two chills lines: Noura saying that djinn are made from smokeless fire and Desmond saying, "I'm not your fucking intern. I'm your COMRADE!'. Loved it. Suggestion, Troy, but for everyone. There's not enough combat for you all to become properly familiar with it so... two words: cheat. sheet. Google it and grab the first hit. Everything right there on hand in the heat of the moment and easy for that open book final exam.

[@johncmousley]

something I love about games such as Call of Cthulhu and Hunter the Vigil is it doesn't matter how magical or powerful someone is; they are never as tough if you get up close to them with shotguns and the right attitude. Can't wait for more Chaos in the future

[@dmeep]

Its the final time for chaos for a little while Chaos will return! and in the meantime we can all get in the trunk together

[@renaissancenovice7202]

"... Though some have called thee mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so..."

[@NoSympathyGiven]

Thank you all so much for making this. It has become my favorite piece of TTRPG media I have ever consumed, and I only started watching it in early April because I wanted to run it for my friends after i finish our dnd campaign, and wanted to get an idea of what it was like. Needless to say I love Masks and I love the storytelling going on in this group, and ever impressed by Troy’s style. I’m gonna have to get into your Pathfinder stuff now, which I don’t think will be a struggle, I’ve loved the shorts I’ve seen so far. I honestly don’t care one way or the other about having you all in person for S3, but I would happily and immediately contribute to a kickstarter or Patreon just to get this show back for a third season by winter or something

[@Drogunath]

Anybody else sipping on a Pisco Sour?

[@lindalastname6306]

THAT ENDING!!!!! ❤❤❤ This whole episode had me crying, throwing up, screaming and running around the house. These guys and all the characters are amazing!!! I can't wait for season 3, thank you guys so so so much

[@shela404]

Can't believe it's the season finale! Thank you for hours of entertainment. I cleared my schedule so that I can watch this live tomorrow :D

[@jimbowardoable]

This is the finale to London? So we are, like, 30% of the way through?

[@Tecmaster96]

@@jimbowardoablethere’s 4 more geographically distinct locales to visit. But it is worth noting that the London Chapter is one of the longest ones and has the most sidetrack scenarios iirc.

[@jimbowardoable]

Oh yeah, I'm running it myself at the moment, my guys just perpetrated a major bloodbath at misr house...

[@shela404]

@@jimbowardoable I should have said "season" finale! Edited my comment for clarity :)

[@ThomasBerryman]

I've had "The National Anthem" stuck in my head since last weeks opening. Let's go! Hoping for another extra long finale!

[@MonteGruhlke]

No cutscene with Charlie Cab? Maybe next season. :D Amazing episode and and a great finale to a delightfully creepy season!

[@nmath1290]

I have to say that my favorite line of the episode has to be “Boy Power.” 😂😂 The inner troll cannot help but smile. Don’t ever let Carter change. You need that just right amount of irreverence to counterbalance some of the power gaming for the right blend.

[@SurfRlyeh]

While it's a bummer to have this phenomenal season wrap up, how lucky are we to have THIS as the finale? Top marks to Troy and the Mystery Squad: This has been a really special ride. We love our weird morbid Friday night shenanigans with you all.

[@Hootie225]

Definitely my favorite show and I would love for season 3 to be played in person! If you do that, Troy you should buy the masks of nyarlathotep prop set from HPLHS. They sell amazing prop work that you can hand to your players.

[@taraingalls3440]

Ok Troy. Get crunching the numbers in the next 3 months and start a Kickstarter by September to record in January or February, edit and release around May of 2025. I wanna give you money to get everyone in one place to record this amazing show in person. It’s great to see you this pumped about a storyline. ❤ This is why I listen. (aka guzthorn1)

[@peterdickinson4599]

Yeah. So many gushing comments for all the hours already recorded, so many demands for Season Three to happen, "Now!" So few people offering to pay.

[@sinisterlaugh872]

Troy making fighting rules on the fly is sometimes painful to watch) Anyway, great finale and great series. Everyone involved with the show, THANK YOU! It is a pleasure to follow your games, always

[@ParadigmEvil]

MY favourite actual play ensemble. Full stop. Epic work everyone.

[@clintonburch-bs3bb]

My favourite show team. Thank you for a transcendent season!! Can’t wait for the beginning of the next one. Till then I’ll be in the trunk.

[@-Markus-]

Everyone involved are just top tier, but once again the season finale has the goofball of the group pull of one of the most emotional and heartbreaking scenes of the show... Amazing, Rob, just amazing!

[@Thomas-ce6xo]

Not knowing who is going to make it, or what the groups next steps will be, here is my Season 3 Wish List: While it is mostly being handwaved, the group should get their money situation in order. With Jackson Elias' estate funding them, they should all be able to draw a stipend, or salary, getting their credit ratings to 50, at least. For big ticket emergency items, they need to establish an international business checking account with the Bank of England, because it is everywhere they are going: Egypt, Kenya, Shanghai, and Australia. If Vaughn has to fill it, then get reimbursement from the estate after expenditures, so be it. Acting - Desmond's acting skill overlaps with the disguise skill, when it comes to the use of stage makeup, facial prosthetics, wigs, and fake moustaches, so I really want to Ross lean into it. I want Hannibal from the A-Team level shenanigans . Cryptography - Fairuz should be able to make a symbol cypher, so the group can send letters, and leave notes, to one another and people in the loop. This will open up a letters to and from Vaugh segment we can look forward to. Also, a codebook cypher for when they're talking on the phone without worrying about being overheard. Pre-introduce potential backup characters. Everyone should have 2 back up characters, and we should at least have them hinted at onscreen before they appear. It's 1925, they should subscribe to a news clipping service and request newspaper articles about strange murders, disappearances, discovered artifacts, cryptid animals, and occult occurrences in the areas of interest. Eagle's Grange: Vaughn should start collecting cult victims/supernatural survivors/potential PCs at Eagle's Grange. It makes a perfect HQ and it let's his mother met new people without them being random strangers and potential security risks. And to those of you thinking, won't that be dangerous having all those targets in one place? I say, if Vaughn hires Hilton Adams as head of security, along with every Harlem Hellfighter he's willing to vouch for, it will be the most secure building in England. And lastly, while I know this one is not going to happen, see where they have the Glass Cannon Logo? That's prime real estate for a 5th player. Can you imagine Skid, Abu, or Sydney jumping in to this madhouse?

[@Mathiasbording]

I loved both seasons of this show and i cannot wait for season 3! You Troy are an amazing GM, you are great with atmosphere and to break the tension with a funny interaction every now and then! The cast is just amazing. I love Ross, Noura, Kate and Rob your inerplay is so heartfelt, funny, and i love your party roleplay ❤

[@shela404]

This was incredible! Thanks again to the cast and crew. Can't wait for next season!

[@carolcanellas6105]

OMG! This was fenomenal!! And now I’m here, on the edge of my seat, having an existential crisis thinking how am I gonna survive until next season… You guys are amazing!!

[@Panicagq2]

Go binge "Get in the Trunk" if necessary so you're ready for the next season - coming soon! It's Joe O'Brien running a huge Delta Green campaign, and Troy is a player...

[@saraann8140]

GCN sets the standard - And sets it VERY high🥰 Ty ty so much for an awesome story and stellar seasons 1 & 2🥰 It takes a stellar group and GM to make something this good - And you all are some of the best and make the show SO GOOD🥰 I would be very sad right now if I didnt know a Season 3 was coming🥰🥰 Ty ty GCN and ty ty all of ya🥰🥰😇😇

[@lytalo]

Great season.

[@IwashereJay]

The cinematic ending! This whole campaign is such a blast! And so vivid through your incredible performances!!

[@BCSully83]

This is my favorite actual-play, any game, any group! Please be back soon!! Unrelated: pg112 of Keeper Rulebook: "...a readied firearm MAY SHOOT on Dex+50" (emphasis mine). The PC doesn't get the bonus for anything other than shooting the gun. Run forward to shoot? No bonus. Hide then shoot? No bonus. Only pulling a trigger goes on Dex+50. You don't get a bonus just for holding a gun. Hope this helps.

[@MagickMan65]

Holy sh*t!!! That was amazing! The end scene and the epilogues were incredible! Thanks to Noura, Kate, Ross, Rob, and Troy for an incredible season! I hope season 3 isn't too incredibly far away! Love all of you guys!

[@TheOwlslayer]

Feels like with each episode, Time For Chaos just keeps on getting better and better. But now begins the painful wait for season 3.

[@Zoleeca]

I am happy to announce that I started (and finished) my first game as a Keeper! I took a lot of inspiration from this show and especially from Troy! You are my role model as a Keeper! I am preparing for the next story and I am reharsing with the voice of Troy in my head. I can't help it :D Looking forward to see season 3!

[@DASWEDallegx3]

20 episodes all leading up to Carter yelling Boy Power! Hahaha 😂

[@gedriverstone1331]

Wow. We're Going long! Yay! ❤

[@TheGlassCannon]

We sure are!

[@matthew_thefallen]

Every Saturday morning i had a ritual: i would have breakfast and watch a new episode of Time for Chaos. Now this is has come to an end and i will get to the same old routine. Thank you guys for the incredible times together! ❤ It means a lot, especially because you folks taught me how to GM and play Call of Cthulhu for my group over the past years! Stay Weird! let's get this Season 3 soon as possible 🥵

[@therocketboost]

Margot wouldn't be able to run up and fire on 130 initiative. The +50 bonus to initiative for readied guns is only if you intend to fire immediately. If she changed tactics to running up to close range, Margot would be dropped back down to her regular initiative (equal to her dex).

[@rob7953]

Me: "Final episode this season, I'm so sad!" Also me: :"Five hours? Hell yeah, let's go!"

[@bladerbane]

Troy: "all of the elephants prostate themselves" Uhhmmm...hmmm

This season was just fantastic! The show, characters, and performers have come so far from the uncertain dynamics at the beginning of season one to this true emotional and dramatic tour de force. Can’t wait for season 3!

THANK YOU! What a great cast of players and Troy doing an outstanding job as Keeper. GC has so many amazing game series going but Time for chaos really stands out as the greatest. Here’s to many more seasons 🍸

[@bigeye6606]

Thank you very, very much to make this available to the world! You are all amazing.

[@Ryotbh]

Who says Masks of Nyarlathotep is supposed to be hard? It's been more cakewalk than meatgrinder for GCP!

[@BaronSpamedi]

I think that's partly down to luck, but also because Troy has also been kind to them at times because he knows that a show where you really get to know the characters, and become invested in them not dying, is much more compelling than a constant churn of new characters. These are brilliantly performed, well realised characters, they deserve better handling than just being cannon fodder. And that's great Keepering, in my opinion.

[@midg3tninj4]

this finale was fucking INSANE! troy, noura kate, rob and rosd you guys are legendary! (also the live chat replay is is pure class)

[@CMac3000]

Great season and excellent episode! I have, historically, stayed away from Call of Cthulhu, as I'm not much of a horror fan, but I checked out the first episode of the first season because it was Glass Cannon and I'm so glad that I did. Kate, Noura, Rob and Ross are all brilliant! The flavor twists that Troy puts in his narrative are worth the nightmares. I can't wait for Season 3, I really hope you are all able to get together and film it in person. Staying around for the cinematic epilogues is a must! Great job everyone!!!

[@CMac3000]

"Show me who I am." WOW what a line!

[@gedriverstone1331]

​@@CMac3000Indeed! I have grown to appreciate Rob/Carter more and more as the series has progressed. His humour brings a great balance to the mix, but the depth, nuance and layers of his characterisation of Carter make him so much more than just simply the 'irreverent jokester'. They are all amazing and create pure magic together (GM and cast) and this episode was chock full of wonderful, powerful moments, but that line, "Show me who I am" touched my soul.

[@CMac3000]

@@gedriverstone1331 Rob plays a great funnyman, but Carter also has a lot of heart and depth that Rob is great at bringing out in the right moments. Thinking back, I almost wish he had said "Paint me like one of your French boys." lol

Well, I made it until 4:10am and fell asleep, so I'll finish it tonight. Great series. Best Cthulhu actual play series on the interweb. Arguably the best TTRPG actual play too. Fantastic, atmospheric Keepering by Troy. Brilliant RPing by Ross, Noura, Kate, and Rob.
