      I always want a debrief at the end of these Actual Play recordings. I want to know what could have happened, what did the players miss, when did they derail Dom's plan, how did he rebalance it, etc. In my experience you rarely get this sort of review, maybe because most people would find it boring, maybe because they don't want to pull back the curtain and reveal all of the secrets behind the story so that it can be replayed.

      Same. I just binge watched all three episodes in a row (had a day off and to myself) and by the end I was a little lost / felt like I had missed things especially in regard to the ending and what the win conditions were. Other than the UpUpDownDown show 'Rollout' this is my first foray into tabletop RPGs and hoping to understand more so I can awkwardly look for people to play with.

      @@bobtallman5209 It seems to be implied at the end that each time one of the group went "insane" in reality their mind was swapped and placed in the amalgamated body below the floorboards in the basement. It isn't until the end when the Butler reveals that it is the true body of Randall Reeks, a man who has survived for hundreds of years by performing this same massacre every century. And while their minds were trapped in the body down below, their own bodies began to murder seemingly indiscriminately. In reality, Randall Reeks had swapped minds with the individual, and was using their younger bodies to do the killings he required for the ritual to take place.
      At the end, Ivy may have killed Randall's true body. But his mind had already swapped with River's. She killed River and Carl piloting the amalgamation of a body they were trapped within. As Randall walked out of the home in the body of one River Proletariat. Free. And very much alive.

    I'm embarrassed that it took me until Part 3 to realize how many Clue references are in this. The names of the NPCs, various weapons and objects (lead pipe, candlestick, etc.), the room names, even someone shutting off the electricity as a plot point. This scenario is Clue filtered through an H.P. Lovecraft lens.

If you can't describe the scary thing to me then how can I picture it and feel afraid of it? Telling me something is indescribable doesn't make me quake with fear, it makes me shrug my shoulders or say "Well that's a bit of a cop-out on your part isn't it Mr. Writer? Don't have to try imagining something descibably horrifying, can just say it can't be described. How convenient." Saying what colors it isn't, saying the colors can't even be described just makes me shrug because I don't have any frame of reference for something that doesn't exist like that.
      Some old lady with a goldball-sized freaking growth on her hand that is pulsing is freaky enough. It's honestly kind of ruined when you then go on with how you can't even comprehend what color it is. Less is more.

    This trilogy has cemented itself as my favourite videos the channel has ever made - the mix of comedy, story telling and improvisation really lets the whole cast shine and show their strengths.
    I of course love the board game club episodes every week, but I think the role playing medium best showcases the talent working on and around the channel and I would love to see more of this in the near future.

    What an incredible masterpiece of storytelling and gaming. Thank you so much for this, I cannot imagine how much toil went into every aspect of it. Huge shout-out to Dom who sent so many shivers up my spine, and to the editor for masterful effects! I really loved how each character brought something uniquely wonderful to the story. The hard-hitting psychology of Tom, the sharp wit and incision of Laurie, the stone-cold badassery of Holly, the strong spirit of Adam, the compassion of Sully and the humor of Tilly were all given new life by the characters they played and it was all brilliant.

    Dom's love of describing mutually exclusive colours was a lovely mix of Cluedo reference (BTW, how awesome would a Lovecraft-based Cluedo be?) & "Colour Out of Space" homage. The extra limbs & especially multiple eyes very evocative of certain Biblical depictions of angels, too.
    I ADORE the ambiguity of the ending.
    SPOILERS
    At face value, it appears that River & Harry did escape. But notice: whenever the Keeper speaks for another character throughout the game, it is because someone - or something - else is speaking for them.
    So was it indeed River who said "Monsieur, we're free" - or was it something else?

      He said, “Good sir, we’re free.” He didn’t use the word “monsieur”, and no way was it River Proletariat. All I’m saying is that if there’s a sequel, River will probably be an NPC, he won’t speak French, and he will have given up art in favour of an unhealthy obsession with astronomy and dark magic.

    Absolute masterpiece, do more please, more call of cthulhu or any ttrpg you guys like really! Also, BIG shoutout to Tilly. As someone who plays a lot of CoC, I find comic relief PCs to be usually distracting and ill-suited for the game's themes. I love me some comedy in D&D but in CoC it's hard to do without hurting the atmosphere. Tilly played her character very well, her comedy only added to the hopelessness of the situation and she was genuinely funny, not the usual forced sarcasm we see from comic relief characters. You guys are great.
