[@Kvalln]

"good evening, I'm Ross Bryant." You're god damn right you are, Ross.

[@Condemed2rules]

Ross Bryant, the only man with a chiseled jaw that literally looks like shifting stone when he speaks

[@GregerMoek]

At first glance I thought it was Quintin Smith from Shut Up and Sit Down rofl.

[@kathrynb15]

BABE WAKE UP ROSS BRYANT GM’ING

[@williamlaignel625]

I originally saw Ross Bryant on a Glass Cannon, Call of Cthulhu game and was stunned by his Roleplaying acumen. I am SO happy to have found this on my feed.

[@Kvalln]

He crushes on Ain't Slayed Nobody too, and on Stream of Blood's old Neptune Society stuff, which was basically his streaming/CoC debut

[@aldaron1021]

same

[@edtechnique]

Vaughn Villiers is probably one of the most engaging PCs on any actual play. He DESTROYS that role.

[@Independentfellow]

Ross could probably improv an entire Lovecraftian short story in the style of HP. That shakespearean scene he did … dang.

[@mooregaminglounge5170]

I recently "discovered" Ross on Glass Cannon's Haunted City and am blown away at his talents (the whole crew is amazing, actually). It's cool to see him GMing a game here (and this crew is also fantastic).

[@emilymitchell6823]

Ross Bryant GM'ing! Spooky horror! My favourite people all in one place! This is a gift

[@cloudyedits20]

Ross is so masterfully flirty as these NPCs. Taking notes !!!

[@Sturmhut]

You had me at "insect choreography".

[@nicholasogburn7746]

@@Sturmhut praying mantises doing “Thriller” is not only a guess, but now an expectation.

[@SnarkyJohnny]

@@Sturmhut actually I had to draw the line at Jazz music. lol

[@darth_zorg]

Ross Bryant is a pip of a GM! Kudos to the entire cast (Gina DeVivo, Ify Nwadiwe, Becca Scott. Rekha Shankarare, and the production crew) are all aces in my book.

[@maryz9319]

Ross brings such a manic, electric energy as a gm - damn it, I'm in!

[@thisjust10]

This one is super fun, Ross, and the cast all crush!

[@GoodTimeSociety]

We had an absolute blast working on this one, to be sure. Trans-Atlantic accents all day!

[@thisjust10]

@@GoodTimeSociety yeah! It was really cool to help out as a PA (and TBH mostly hang out)

[@andreapaulson3331]

Oh this was a lovely little horror romp with a great group of people! In spite of some occasional audio & video clipping strangeness in the first half, I was enthralled by Ross's storytelling and the creative (and sometimes cartoonishly brutal) ways the players used these unique game mechanics.

[@santeriparikka1256]

Gawd been waiting so long to see Ross's GMing, lezz go !

[@manwithbrisk3418]

Ross on Time For Chaos is solid gold. Looking forward to this :).

[@Dzunei]

The cast is amazing, but Ross is a fantastic surprise. Amazing DMing

[@Paxixify]

I was just listening to "Aint Slayed Nobody" and was looking for more Ross Bryant-content and then this pops into my feed. Ia Ia, Algo'rithm FTAGHN!

[@alexh.9630]

highly recommend his stuff with Glass Cannon if you haven't seen it after this (Becca's in some of it too)

[@nightcatarts]

I hope you know of Stream Of Blood. So much great TTRPG content on there.

[@MrLimebomb]

Book Reading and Jazz *shifts nervously*

[@andrewpanter1819]

While I was disappointed at first that Ross was DM so there would not be one of his manic or louche characters, I am now looking forward to seeing what he has in store for players and watchers.

[@nightcatarts]

That just means he gets to play multiple manic/louche characters though.

[@thisjust10]

@@andrewpanter1819 he wrote the scenario as well.

[@Detson404]

Love all these wonderful actors. Loved them in the Neptune Society and Dimension 20

[@akamasho7898]

@@Detson404 Neptune Society mentioned!!! ❤️

[@caitlinb2841]

What a dm! What a cast!!

[@aldaron1021]

Ross Bryant running Call of Cthulhu, what a treat. HELL YEAH.

[@teecee7475]

more, we need more Ross as a keeper

[@JRLVarela]

Excited for this one. Out of all the recent investigative horror games to come out recently, this system is the most that's intrigued me. Excited to see it in action. And not familiar with Ross Bryant, but what a voice!

[@madelinetownsend8400]

incredible lil horror jaunt and always impressed by the narrative feat of actually doing a one-shot in one shot.

[@ClancyNacht]

This was fantastic. Everyone brought so much to their characters on top of the really fun and dangerous game and theme. Just some university folks with shotguns and hatchets. Good ol' Miskatonic.

[@lovecraft2172]

More episodes of this please

[@easydiesel]

38:34 genuinely mesmerised by how Rekha embodies this character

[@easydiesel]

"Who keeps all the bugs happy?!" 😂

[@Doubleday86]

Very enjoyable. Loved everyone and their characters, what a blast!

[@ExpectResistance]

Hell yeah. Ross in the house. Finally subbed!!

[@RandomProduct]

Oh hey, I personally know the writer and co-designer of this game. She's excited that y'all are playing it :)

[@jwagle]

Wow! Love Ross B. As the Keeper- Fantastic show and cast. Looking for more!

[@erinkucera9066]

I very much missed seeing Gina and Becca playing together!!!! More please!

[@MrGranten]

0:29 you can't imagine how happy I am to be proven right that he was going to say that.

[@coreywright33]

Yay! I’m a fan of ALL of these terrific improvisers! I love the elements of the 1920s in this video as well!

[@cipherdust2285]

This is shot and edited so well, I like this format way better then 3 static cameras but I can Imagine its a ton of work.

[@alexh.9630]

barking like a dog when I see Ross, Ify, and Rekha in an AP together

[@melonpatch4004]

Ever since I saw him on dropout the shakespeare game changer episode I thought he was awesome. Feel lucky I got to see him perform!

[@melonpatch4004]

Obviously everyone in this group is wildly talented!

[@TheFarmoon]

You had me a 'get away sticks'. Good job everyone.

[@klorpdonk]

What a phenomenal cast! So great well done all

[@knighttimegame]

Thanks. Been waiting for someone to live play it so I can see it played. You all did well.

[@allgreatfictions]

Can you imagine how much better this would be with a white erase board with a 1 inch grid on it and some upside down glasses? I'm sorry, Ross, i also love theatre of the mind, don't hate me. I will pay the price of a dream.

[@fonze5664]

This was amazing! The cast and keeper were all fantastic and it made my work day so much brighter to listen to ❤

[@andreapantaloni6813]

Maybe not the Cthulhu we expected, but great to see nonetheless!

[@EirikFinne-fr6ov]

Most excellent! Hope we get more of this and the sooner we get it the better.

[@garrettgrosser313]

After watching critical role then the glass cannon network; seeing this is on before i got to watch dropout. Im ABSOLUTELY FEASTING TODAY!!!

[@That_Eriksson]

Ross doing some mastering he's amazing this is gonna be great

[@tonydeluna8095]

Yes 🙌! The best board game players of all time!!!

[@alexanderschuster960]

Christmas comes early this year.

[@SirRule]

JAZZ JUMP SCARE!

[@deathhall1]

Ross Bryant could easily be one of THE best TTRPG player/actors in the world, If I may go even further into heresy, Bryant is the Mercer/Mulligan of the strange and esoteric.

[@ErikRedin]

What a great cast!

[@RochRuffini]

So awesome to see the Dropout cossover on GTS lately. Keep the amazingly actual plays Coming!

[@SOAjames]

This was amazing! planning on running Arkham horror with my group. Your characters was amazing love them all! hope to see more of this!! People like this post if you want morre Arkham Horror? :D

[@imslightly1591]

Amazing cast! Ross, please do a book related content thing somewhere. I loved your book stuff on Vampires of Pittsburgh ;). This genre was made for you to GM.

[@AlysterJohnEstur]

This was so fun!

[@MrJayari]

I can't help but think Mina is an avatar of Kugrash after he transcended. Always glad to see these folks telling more stories and having fun.

[@Lioneldehetre]

“Hello I’m Ross Bryant, and not only do I suffer from ulcerative colitis but I will be your game master tonight…” big fan of Ross and a great cast of players. Thanks I enjoyed listening to the game.

[@Malkamok]

I'm astounded by how incredibly gorgeous everybody looks in tonight's costumes

[@deathpunchdingo2981]

Ross, I've given this a lot of thought: I'm moving in with you and we're going to be best friends and we'll live in a giant library with a spiral staircase in the Smokey Mountains and we're going to play rpg's together every day cause you're awesome AND I LOVE YOU.

[@shanegallant9018]

O.M.G! I haven't watched this yet... but what an amazing cast! I'm already on the edge of my seat... 😃😳

[@BostonDeadHead]

Epic! This was awesome!

[@alexanderingraham8255]

Thanks for the awesome video! DMing and acting both were superb! 🥰 Although, the ending did make me wonder when the last time I heard/played a CoC game that ended with survivors and at least one of them DIDN’T have some eldritch horror attached to them was?? Is it just me or would everyone being “ok” be the bigger twist at this point?

[@DreamWizardMedia]

Did the video go black for anyone else at 1:16:42 ? I looked at the comments, but I didn't see anyone else talk about it.

I just saw Ross at the Kennedy Center performing with the Improvised Shakespeare company. I had to do a double take when i saw the thumbnail.😂

[@Nerval-kg9sm]

Period trivia: my late granny (born 1914) told me about drinking bootleg scotch in speakeasies during prohibition. The main brand had three feathers on the label. If the labels were red, white, and blue, it was the good stuff. For the bad stuff, all three feathers were white.

[@caraelizabeth7307]

Just found this. Some weirdness with the VOD at the beginning, but what fun.

[@nicholasogburn7746]

I love this. Bravo

[@mattiascrowe2549]

is the sound mixing low? I'm listening to this on full volume on my computer and it is still a little quiet, I am a bit deaf so that may be why aha

[@airship1563]

what a cast. all stars.

[@asowle]

Came across this and just 30 minutes in...sound quite low, cannot wait to watch tonight and see how the action dice pool system works.....

At the end of the intro I expected someone to pipe in, "NOOOO, Not Jazz!"

It doesn't matter what system it is, Rekha Shankar will find a way to play a Barbarian

”Getaway sticks” 😅

[@wolfrine5674]

So some rule clarifications. In narrative simple don't cost actions and spells use Lore unless explicitely noted otherwise in knack

Best "trigger" warning preamble evar

[@roku9134]

It hurts that I just found out about this beauty!! Better late than never. Bring in the madness 🦑

[@BCSully83]

This is brilliant!! Perfect cast, fun game! just... the "dice"/"die" thing. I get it, "language is fluid"; "it's about being understood, not about rules", all of that, but still. It's killing me

[@oscarjimenezgomez1372]

Uauu....., aun entendiendo poco de ingles, la introduccion me ha parecido soberbia, creo que voy a aprender mucho con este video Enhorabuena

[@thedeadwarrior1828]

this is an amazingly entertaining video, but i would say the editing kind of breaks the emergence every now and then, also the sound was a bit too low. i understand that editing a 3h video is a lot of work and it's already incredible, hope you guys fix these errors to make these videos even more outstanding
