What camera do you use to capture the close-up on the book and your hands? I want to do something similar, but my Logitech C922 is just not cutting it.
I've been obsessed with learning more about the Call of Cthulhu setting, so this couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks, Jeff!
I wil be back for the next part .
Call of Cthulhu is great! One of my favorite game systems.
Awesome Intro!
This was the first game I ran after getting married… fond memories.
We DID run "The Haunting" first, to pull the group together.
With my players, it was the Pancacke Social that pulled them into the Silver Twilight! Oh, and we absolutely ignored the "Male Only" bit with the club.
I was lucky. When I ran this, none of my 3 players knew much about the Mythos. So this was quite a wild ride for that group!! 😆
The Edge of Darkness as a beginning adventure – a stone cold and absolutely terrifying classic. This was the adventure our Keeper used to pull us together for Horror on the Orient Express.
Thanks-I did try running this back in the day but it was at a convention and I fell asleep while GMing. Those were the days..
Thank you for the series. Can't wait to see more. Great job!
Hi Jeff, Great review and some excellent suggestions. A mate and I shared the cost of the Classic 2" boxed set; he paid half + shipping and got the physical product, I paid the other half and we share the PDFs. I love the way Chaosium handles PDFs BTW, absolutely brilliant. I'll likely be running this for our group – we've played through a couple of the initial adventures in Doorways to Darkness, I'll have the Esoteric Order contact them as patrons for some of the other ones…thanks for the tip!
Again, I don't know anyone better to have practical discourse on CoC. Your experience is a huge benefit to interacting with their work, thanks!
