RPPR Episode 125: Masks of Nyarlathotep Post Mortem

On: February 16, 2016

Masks of Nyarlathotep is a classic (some would say quintessential) campaign for Call of Cthulhu. Given how much we play CoC, I thought it would be remiss of us not to record a run of it. It took us about a year to get through the campaign, but our dedicated group of investigators solved mysteries, fought cultists, and confronted horrible abominations from beyond time and space. I heavily changed the core campaign, using advice from Adam Scott Glancy and the invaluable book, the Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion. Find out what I changed and why and how the players thought of the game.

In: Podcast Episode

With: 18 Comments

News: RPPR B-Sides volume 2 is coming soon. Volume 1 is free, so check that out, if you haven’t already.

Synopsis: A new edition of Dungeons and Dragons has been released and Bill, Sean, and I have played enough to have opinions that are more than just knee-jerk reactions. In this episode, we talk about the merits of 5E compared to the previous edition, what we like, what we don’t and more. Tom isn’t in this episode, so no letter. We do have shout outs and anecdotes though!

Shout Outs

Better Angels GM Screen: If you’re running a Better Angels game, you will appreciate having this screen handy.
Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon: Wuxia and mystery, all wrapped up in one film.
QI: a funny British talk show, worth watching.
Dungeon of the Endless: A fun roguelike/tower defense hybrid game that can be quite addicting.
Binding of Isaac Rebirth: A creepy action rogue-lite game that is also quite addicting. A bit like the old Zelda games but with far more poop.
Blue Dungeon Tiles: Great for mapping out dungeons for your tabletop game!
God Game Black: A supplement for The Laundry RPG, based on material from The Apocalypse Codex. Highly recommended for Laundry GMs.
Dwarven Forge Cavern: High quality terrain for any tabletop game.

Gale Force spell cards: Useful references for spell casters in any 5E game.
