Hope you all enjoy a return to Cthulhu and some spooky investigations. We are trialing videos without prolonged intros for this series would love to hear what you think!
I love the intros, but i remember game theory talking about how they had to stop using their music intros because it dropped retention. I imagine its the same here so if stopping the intros will help the channel then im okay with it! But itd be nice if they didnt completely go away
You click on a TH-cam video, expecting a short story to begin. As it finishes loading, music begins to play. "This isn't right" you say to yourself as you begin to see a table full of friends. Will there be an opening told by Tom? Or are you on a, "Mystery Quest!"
I stumbled over your channel because I wanted to have a look at the Alien TTRPG, but now I binged all your Episodes. This has become my favourite TTRPG channel! It is so lighthearted and entertaining to watch you guys ❤ I have so many laughs every episode, so thank you guys for sharing.
I came for Alien too, but by golly, I'm staying for the rest. Haven't watched them all yet, but making my way through them. Make sure to check out the one shot Call of Cthulhu that Tom ran on his Angory Tom channel to promote Mystery Quest, which features Simon and Lydia playing their characters Perry and Maggie for the first time, which has the title "Call of Cthulhu roleplay with Simon and Lydia".
same here ive also watched all the games night games with the little painted figures. the alternate lord of the rings ones are my favourite that got me into it
If you've binged all the episodes here and aren't aware, there's an additional four scenarios of call of cthulhu as well as some other games Tom ran years ago on their Games Night channel which are also excellent.
The sound design for every episode is always amazing but this one was absolutely incredible! The doors opening and closing, the changes to the hallucination sequences, the voices, absolutely brilliant work!
Top 10 anime betrayals But it won't stop me from enjoying another Call of Cthulhu game. It's already looking to be a great. "The juice" is such an obviously suspicious name and delivers right away.
Usually, Call of Cthulu has a segment of the fish discovering and getting stuck in the barrel, but it's interesting to have a story where the fish already start off in deep sh*t. Setting it in a bar was a clever way to have the obligatory character introduction downtime period while also getting straight to the bad times.
I love that these have a rotating cast. More Briony is always good. All we need now is the full Kirbycrew of Rythian and Kirsty if they happen to be in the office at the same time, and Ben can be the 4th, because Ben is a good boy
Going into a speakeasy and threatening to get federal health inspectors involved is a really funny concept. Also suggesting going to a wider market with advertising for the Juice during prohibition is another funny idea
This latest CoC is amazing. My favorite part is the gasps as Lewis “distracts” the bar 😂 The sound effects guy is just killing it with these recent vids!
I can only imagine like 100 years from now what key phrases people who role play about the 2020's are going to think we said all the time in normal conversation.
I listen to mystery quest while i work and i usually liem to watch it to get the visual humor, however Damn! The audio work is top notch, jaw dropping and more.immersive than any other piece of media ive ever consumed. The level of grabbing media work here is incredible and this video shows that off perfectly! Just listening to this was a treat
Ironically Lewis was onto something with the fishy tasting drink one of the flavor compounds in Guinness is found in fish I forget if they actually use fish
Yaaaayyyy!!! More Call of Cthulhu! Love this series so much, and this seems like a really diverse table gameplay wise. How does Lewis always somehow ,make his character into a charmer no matter the circumstances?
I really do love the work on the sound design to create an active audio environment to help really bring the game to life, thank you to whomever is putting in all the effort to create that effect
Fantastic episode once again! And the sound design, amazing. I really loved all the ambient noise and effects, they didn't drown out any dialogue but brought a whole feel - special mention for the "crowd" singing the Juice Song in the background. 😸
Always love me some Call of Cthulhu, seeing Ben, Pflax, Lewis, and Briony will surely lead to some chaos. Never seen Ben with glasses! He looks super good.
Its been commented on already but i had to chime in here, OM MY GOD THE SOUND DESIGN IS IMPECCABLE!! So many times now ive just been sucked in so hard by it, so well done
Hope you all enjoy a return to Cthulhu and some spooky investigations. We are trialing videos without prolonged intros for this series would love to hear what you think!
We dearly miss the intros
I have no strong opinions either way. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Perfect length. Didn't find the "or are you on a M.Q?" bits fitted with the theme of the Rpgs played
I love the intros, but i remember game theory talking about how they had to stop using their music intros because it dropped retention. I imagine its the same here so if stopping the intros will help the channel then im okay with it! But itd be nice if they didnt completely go away
Seconding what I’ve seen before that if getting rid of the intros helps the channel then go for it but they will be missed
You click on a TH-cam video, expecting a short story to begin. As it finishes loading, music begins to play. "This isn't right" you say to yourself as you begin to see a table full of friends. Will there be an opening told by Tom? Or are you on a, "Mystery Quest!"
this makes up for the betrayal I felt
Gold my firend but where is my intro
That’s not Tom that’s Toddy!
Thank you sir
Brilliant
Strange.... normally I'm more certain that i am indeed on a Mystery Quest...
Ben looks so distinguished with glasses
Prim, proper, and ready to do some Ben-work!
it is SIR Ben now!
Ben is playing a disco elysium npc and I love it
31:55
The look on Briony's face as she realises Lewis is going to interact with a woman, socially. Absolutely priceless.

Check out the "Kill your necromancer" if you haven't already
The funniest Mystery quest series yet.

Everybody here also watch Tom DM from the Games Night Channel, lots of Cthulu in there. Some of the best.
You know the murder hobo, now thanks to Lewis, you learned of the suicide hobo.
Oh Lewis 🤣 cant wait to meet his backup character 🤣
To play as cornelius himself, convicted thug returned to the game hahahahahaha
"The names John Steel"
Lewis's characters in Call of Cthulu just love throwing their lives away.
Pyrion's jingle was amazing!
I was already impressed with the mouth trumpet, but then the jingle?? Amazing!
big bonus points for adding “the key” into the lyrics
The sound design for every episode is always amazing but this one was absolutely incredible! The doors opening and closing, the changes to the hallucination sequences, the voices, absolutely brilliant work!
Pyrion is once again killing it. No wonder he came up with the hit song madelaine
"Are we the fish?" nah, this is CoC, you are most definitely the barrel
The Mystery Quest today is a scenario called "Where's the Intro?" 😂
I think the intro on the last video - episode 7 of alien rpg chariots of the gods - may have contextually given an explanation for that.
@@drakynlp1022 What happened in that one? I didn't watch it. 😂
@@Enercia it appears the narrator was besieged in his library by a furious mob.
Have the foley guys been drinkin' the juice? They've knocked it out of the park on this one.
The moment lewis started saying what he did, I audibly gasped, lewis is fucking dead.
YAY LEWIS! I love when he shows up, he's always such a wildcard in these. 😂

But it won't stop me from enjoying another Call of Cthulhu game. It's already looking to be a great. "The juice" is such an obviously suspicious name and delivers right away.
The sound work is getting sooo goood!!! Really immersive. I hope whoever does it gets to know how much it's appreciated
If a fresh Mystery Quest ain't the best part of Friday I don't know what is
@@IntroducingMrPookers the second part of a fresh one
Absolutely shook that Pyrion didn't earn a Tom point for the juice song.

I love that every single character tom plays in this episode is the older librarian from the miskatonic library
I know Ben's going for upper-class snob with the voice but all I can hear is Neil from The Young Ones 🤣
Great ep, loving it.
I wish i could express how excited i am for this episode, post alien campagin and we get ANOTHER call of cthulu? we eating GOOD

The sound design is amazing! This episode has been so dynamic with all the added elements from the players it’s great
How will Lewis get a elephant gun this time
Absolutely loving our fun quirky cast of characters! And of course, a completely innocent definitely not eldritch juice is always a win
The audio production on this one is amazing!
5 minutes in and Briony is already at it with the cunnilingus jokes. I'm so ready for this.
I listen to mystery quest while i work and i usually liem to watch it to get the visual humor, however
Damn! The audio work is top notch, jaw dropping and more.immersive than any other piece of media ive ever consumed.

Ironically Lewis was onto something with the fishy tasting drink one of the flavor compounds in Guinness is found in fish I forget if they actually use fish
Guinness became vegan a few years ago, but it used to use isenglass, a lot of beers still do, it's basically gelatine scraped off fish intestines.
How am i supposed to know if im on a mystery quest or not!
Thats part of the mystery!
Great use of sound in this episode - gave me the chills!
Love the background sounds in this episode! Really sets the tone!
Yaaaayyyy!!! More Call of Cthulhu! Love this series so much, and this seems like a really diverse table gameplay wise. How does Lewis always somehow ,make his character into a charmer no matter the circumstances?
Loving the new gang & the fantastic sound effects in the hallucinations and the episode in general. Also I love Pyrion's juice jingle lol
God I absolutely adore Ben's character already, what an incredible voice, what an incredible character concept
Pyrion's Juice jingle is perfection, 10/10
Thank you for Mystery Quest. I've been listening to it for a couple of weeks while I rescued my mom from Asheville. It's kept me sane.
Loving the call of cthulhu scenarios. They're also so great for helping to find new cool scenarios to run with my groups!
I wonder if Tom has let Lewis have a billion luck again.
Great to see everyone back at the table, and Briony returning for her second game is awesome.
I thought Ben was Tom Bates in the thumbnail.
Same here, little disappointed that he is not here, got my hopes up.
Sameee thought it was Lewis, lyds, tom bates and pyrion. Was excited for a cast of old characters taking on a new call of cthulu
What an all star cast
Amazing, i initially thought the bar was just the intro for our characters but it being the scene for the story is just great!
Immediately loved Ben’s character lol, call of Cthulhu is always great!
"I thought I should get it out of the way"
"And you did it yourself!"
Such flexibility!
Let's go!!! The Call of Cthulhu scenarios are always my favorite. This channel rocks
Can't wait for a Vaesen RPG series next to this masterpiece!!
Oh yeah baby, as someone playing in a call of cthulu campaign, I love watching the one shots.
So happy to see Lewis again; the Major was by far my favourite Call of Cthulhu charaters. And Briony! I loved what she did with Hazel in Mouseritter.
Everyone Charlestonin' - classic 😄
I am neck deep in a pile of paperwork for my job. This is EXACTLY what I needed today. Thanks, y'all!
I really do love the work on the sound design to create an active audio environment to help really bring the game to life, thank you to whomever is putting in all the effort to create that effect
I really like the intros. They’re charming and feel like a major part of Mystery Quest’s brand at this point, for better or worse
Lew Lew messed up BIG TIME! Can't wait to meet his new character in part 2!
Fantastic episode once again! And the sound design, amazing. I really loved all the ambient noise and effects, they didn't drown out any dialogue but brought a whole feel - special mention for the "crowd" singing the Juice Song in the background. 😸
This is super fun to watch, glad to have stumbled onto this channel!
The audio work on this is *so* good. MQ sets a high bar anyway, but this is particularly great.
Ok the background fx work is phenomenal! The voice overs were so good!
The sound work is incredible!!
The hallucinations were SO GOOD, i was transported
This episode was excellent. VERY GOOD THANK YOU THOMAS
Lewis woke up and chose violence. Really excited to see where this one goes.
The audio-scape is on point 🔥🔥🔥
I am loving the soundscapes - they really add a hell of a lot!
This aught to be an adventure!
Love a good call of cthulu, excited to see how chaotic this one goes!
That jingle would definitely play hauntingly in the background when everything goes wrong.
Always love me some Call of Cthulhu, seeing Ben, Pflax, Lewis, and Briony will surely lead to some chaos.
Never seen Ben with glasses! He looks super good.
Oh boy what a dramatic finish to session 1! Turning friends into enemies....
Where are my five intros..? :(
He ran out of stories. Literally none left!
"As the great Karl once said."
Ah yes, Dad always referred to him as "Uncle Karl" to my brother and I!
No Lyds ? Im shaken, shooketh, aghast and perturbed! otherwise this was a great episode.
Honestly the foley work was amazing on this one!
I love how sassy Pyrions character got the more he drank 😂
Its been commented on already but i had to chime in here, OM MY GOD THE SOUND DESIGN IS IMPECCABLE!! So many times now ive just been sucked in so hard by it, so well done
Best part of my week!
Up there next to highrollers Sunday for me
God I love the way Tom DMs Call of Cthulhu
Yay! More Call of Cthulhu! Great cast! Super excited!!!!!
Home from friday night magic, nice to relax to some classic Mystery Quest!
34:40 Well we know what Pyrion is bringing to the table on the Jingle Jam Music Stream this year
Oh look my favorite Friday treat is here
I like all the Mystery Quest content, but Call of Cthulhu is definitely my favorite ❤
Love Ben's character.
Lewis delivered on the distraction!! 😂
This episode is so good!!!! I do miss the little intro though, hope to see them again sometime 🙏🏻
I found these a couple of months ago, reminiscing on the ol'e yogsquest series. I love these Cthulhu ones as well!
Awesome crew, great start :) Looking forward to more
Loved when How We Roll Podcast did a run of this recently. You should do a collab with them!
Both mystery quest and chaotic neutral with new CoC games? Yes please!!
Really appreciate seeing non-dnd games. Call of Cthulhu is awesome!
The sound adds so much. The transitions
great Cast, really excited for this one!
Lewlew casually spoiling his appearance😅
