Mushgnome's Hobbet-centric PBP

As annoying as he is, he actually ends up figuring things out and being at the right place/right time ahead of the rest of the group. But yeah, as a player I despise this type of player.rredmond wrote:https://nerdyshow.com/cthulhu/
I do hate players like the dude playing Father Grandfather. They aggravate me so much it's making the first episode really difficult to get through. The story seems real interesting though.
Yeah, CoC games tend to end poorly because they usually culminate in a face-to-face with some large horror and the loss of sanity that ensues is difficult to overcome. The rule about temporary insanity with the loss of 5 or more sanity points at once is the kicker, I think. Losing control of your character in that situation ends very poorly.mushgnome wrote:I just finished the first series. I thought they did a good job wrapping it up. CoC games tend to end differently than D&D games (not so much "we return to the tavern to level up and count our treasure!") and the GM did a good job putting the cherry on the sundae.
The use of music throughout was pure genius. The Genesis cover ("Carpet Crawlers") in episode 8 was simultaneously catchy and apocalyptic. Could Peter Gabriel be some kind of secret chaos cultist?!?
My only complaint, there were a few times the background music and sound effects were too loud and it was hard for me to hear the players' voices. It would have been cool if they'd published a written transcript for the hard-of-hearing.
But... but... but... that would be SPOILERS!rredmond wrote:So this is classic old school dungeon fun. Love it.
The dungeon is under Frederick's? Where's the Cliff's Notes for me to catch up on... or the relevant posts.
