Dear Mr. Tom.
I've followed you tor several years since TABS. Some of your new games are hit or miss for my own personal interests, but still you're doing great keep it up.
But......... Call of Cthulu ROLEPLAY?????? Sir, you have peaked my interest once again. ONLY an hour and 40 minute video? A little short, but I'm hoping to enjoy the next 2-ish hours. Maybe a sequel??? Shh, no spoilers.
Also, love the beard Angory! Dude..... how long has it been since I've been keeping up with ya. Sorry!!!!!
(Your first name is Angory, right? I know people call you Tom, but we all know the truth right?)
An emphatic yes.
Do hope those skeleton props you used in the channel intro for Mystery Quest will make a return 😂😂
This is amazing! It would be great to see bouphe join in for a session.
There is but a single thing I want from the new channel: The Battlebois battling the brutal beasts, horrible heretics and dreadful daemons of the 41st millenium as acolytes of the inquisition
Lydia describing her character: "Short, blonde, posh, rich."
Me: "Ah, so she is playing bizzaro-Lydia."
got em, coach
Lydia with the "Perry I'm BORED" is such a great dynamic.
Lydia’s “Cheese it” is an instant classic..
ikr, that was the biggest laugh of the episode for me 😂
Lydia's a perfect roleplayer. She might not know the game perfectly yet but she's the perfect roleplayer you'd want on your table.
I can’t believe it, you’re doing it. This is everything I ever wanted. Simons beautiful bald head and Lydia’s beautiful bald face playing with Tom’s beautiful bald forehead to nostrils.
These two posh dandies just swigging their flasks and blundering about is so bloody perfect.
Lydia is amazing at this RP - so many memorable lines and I'm not even 40 mins in. "Getting into a car with a stranger? I'd love to!"
The age of the Tomcast has come
The long awaited takeover has come!
We live in a gilded age. 🥰
It was fortold ages ago
“Cheese it!” Laughed out loud at that. I LOVE the chemistry that you three have.
Holy crap. Can't watch right now, but Tom+Simon+Lydia+Call of Cthulhu can only be great.
Did you ever get a chance to watch?
@@LucidLensKatherine Yep, watched last night. It was indeed very fun.
I was not ready for this revelation that Simon and Lydia aren't the same person.
I gotta let Chauncey know that, he's gonna freak out.
Man Lydia doing some great voice acting here
honestly yogs excel at roll playing in a way it's how they got started and I love how fun they make it.
Only with close friends that you can run ttrpg like this. Great fun
Aw yes, roleplaying! The real "How To:" guide.
Tom DM with his unique style of story telling and his off the cuff scenarios sign me up
LETS GOO!!!! Tom Cthulhu Lore shall be expanded.
LOVE IT
Tomthulhu
@@ericvaughn2617Tomthulu apparently means everyone according to ggogle
Simon Lane, aka The Great Old One.
Call of Cthulhu with Tom as the GM is consistently one of my favorite things on TH-cam.
Holy shit my favorite tabletop with my two favorite Tom guest pairings?!?! Hell yeah
To slight Ben in such a manner is punishable by death
@@BattleBro77 I propose Ben as DM and Tom joins the team
@@TehSlanI dunno the return of Harvey j griswald would be pretty great
@@BattleBro77Ben isn't a pairing with Tom. Tom&Ben are just one entity
Nothing makes me happier than seeing that glorious beard, Simon, and Big Lyds all in one video
I can’t wait until Simon checks peoples sanity by asking if sonic or tails would get pregnant.
Definitely tails
Pragnant
@@tiberiuskurisakeclearly this man is insane, everybody knows it’s sonic whose get pregnant
DID YOU EVER HEAR OF A BOOK WRITTEN BY THE MAD ARAB
@@blank_3768Actually according to some recent studies in some rare cases tails is in fact the one to become pragnent.
An entire glorious HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES of pure comedy gold roleplay, plus FOUR MORE HOURS already uploaded to the new channel? Ambassador, you spoil us.
As someone who has recently rewatched all of yogsquest and call of cthulus from games night, this is a welcome sight!
I literally just finished all of the yogsquests videos for the 4th time and see this, so happy as well
Simons way of holding his pencil to write dougie is psychotic
They call it “nightstalker’s grip”
That was the absolute best depiction of someone doing a terrible job of persuading someone I've ever seen, right down to wildly waving a gun around and shouting that you fired it (had to pause for laughing for a good ten seconds). That it actually worked is icing on the cake.
Greeting from Ann Arbor irl!!
Super excited for the channel, glad you’re kicking it off with call of Cthulhu
Lydia and Simon brought two great characters to the table, loved that they were a different sort of dynamic to the genre's usual. And I love how Tom told the story, the reveal after it ended was the perfect cap to the episode.
Angry Tom, Symon and Lydia makes this session way more exciting from the start than 90% other youtube rpgs which drags time, makes slowest roleplay decisions, invest in props and clothes ... THIS IS TRUE Roleplaying !
Thank you Tom, your RP's have been some of the best yogs content to date 👍🏼
Lovely little adventure to get reintroduced into Call of Cthulhu as well as give Lydia a quick dip into the universe!
CoC roleplay was the first thing that came to my mind when you announced Mystery Quest, and I'm so glad it came true!
I cannot think of a more perfect squad to wander the Lovecraftian madness as a way to kick off the launch of the new channel.
Ngl I half expected Simon to just be Grizwald again haha
Grizwold's already done this story, hasn't he?
I think the funniest thing about this was explaining that alcohol was very hard to come by in prohibition. It famously wasn't. Since almost everyone loved drinking, people were moonshining, bootlegging, swoondogging and crankshafting as much booze as they could. Speakeasies were common, and given most police officers liked to drink as much as anyone it was much less difficult than it should have been to get them to shut such places down, to say nothing of the mob's bribing them.
massive pog for two hours of big lyds and the riddle bros
Lydia’s excitement at getting a ‘nothing’ on the d6 was amazing! She is a natural at RP and I loved it.
Loved the CoC over at Mystery Quest, so of course - craving more.....MOOOOORE....ahem... I just had to tune into the earlier adventures as well! Cheers, guys!
I love this already!! Lydia's roleplay is spot on!
That dementia finally caught up with the old Prof. Griswald. Poor Blighter thinks he called Peregrine for some reason.
Oh Snap, Here I thought it would be weeks before we got some ttrpg with the announcement of MysteryQuest. Well done sirs
and lady... if you can call Lyds that ;)
When I played call of Cthulhu rpg a decade or two ago, everyone in our party would drink nonstop just to ignore the horror of everything.
We would even get more shit faced after a fight, sitting on top of a giant extra dimensional horror just emptying our flasks down our gullet refusing to believe the thing we were sitting in did not exist
Tom, your beard is magnificent.
Thanks
Perry and Maggie are such a good duo.
Lydia's hair is AMAZING.
Simons is looking good recently too
Lydia's slow spiral into billy big boy goat madness broke me
About 40 minutes in and this is already such a good dynamic!
I loooove love love these characters, everybody played incredibly well! I do like the short behind the scenes talk, what could've happened and where more information could've been found. I was really curious as to what had happened. Loved this! Would love to see more!
Holy shit everyone was gold here. Im so excited for the new channel
Simon and Lyds' dynamic was brilliant, loved both of their characters.
Thank you so much Tom for making the new channel! The role-playing vids are a great escape for me, pure comfort food 😊
This was so good. More Lydia as rich heiress in a CoC environment please
My probably three favorite collaborators of the Yogscast, this is fantastic. Also, I'm from Ann Arbor so that adds another layer of hilarity to this all
Tom running CoC is some of my favourite youtube content ever, and got me into the game. I’m so happy you’re starting a whole channel dedicated to it! I ran paper chase for a friend a while back and he spent the whole scenario refusing the call to adventure and going partying in town so that he missed the second break-in. The next scenario we played with two friends and when the monster showed up he slipped past it, rolled a 1 for luck, managed to open the door and pissed off into the night leaving the others to their fate. He’s a frustrating guy to play with…
Seeing this new series and the others on the new channel warms my heart so much. I was so fond of the Call of Cthulhu and Star wars series that tom and Yogs did years ago now and seeing them again truly makes me happy. Thank you Tom
Binged everything on the Mystery Quest channel only to run into this *now*. Still, great to see how Maggie and Perry got started.
Well, in Simon’s defense, that’s probably about how psychology worked in the twenties 😂
As someone from MI. I firmly believe that the "next town over" being Ypsilanti, entirely accurate for a Lovecraftian nightmare.
Your guests were great at improvising their roles, Tom! Thanks, it was really enjoyable
My Favorite part of this video is that it is on the AngoryTom Main channel, which is a great channel
Wow, Tom really spoiling us with SIX HOURS OF RPG CONTENT
I missed the call of cuthulu game play, so happy the legend is back
Really enjoying going back to these videos. :) "The Paper Chase" was originally the name of a well-liked TV show in the late 70s (U.S.). Featuring brilliant British actor John Houseman. About the pressures of academia; Uni professorship, politics, publishing research, etc. I suspect the British stationery shop was aware of the show, and has likely made a bigger impact on human history!
can't wait to see more on mystery quest!
No better role playing engine to welcome us into the wonderful world of Mystery Quest! Eldritch Horror ticks all of my boxes!
Fuck me, what an ad. This is amazing. I have been missing this, and this duo to kick things off is fucking fantastic, all three of you have great chemistry and their characters are fantastic, I especially love Lydia's reckless and impulsive character egging the conman on. Like he's stuck in one enormous con with a crazy, rich widow.
if Thomas Kimble lives a town over from Ann Arbor Michigan it is in keeping that his house was broken into LOL.
Simon's method of writing at 9:57 made me fail a real-life Sanity check.
Well between this and all the vids on Mystery Quest my weekend is set thanks Tom!
Kiitos!
Banging one-shot! Can't wait to watch the episodes
Oh this was a fun take on Paper Chase! Lovely, jumping to the other channel to watch MORE! All of you folks are amazing! 😆
So happy to see more Call of Cthulu!!!! These are the best kind of videos in my opinion
I really enjoyed the portion at the end where you explained some of the things that might have been missed
Love how in character Lyd is as Margo. She's excellent!
I'm 1 hour in, and I'm pretty sure this entire campaign is based upon the concept of "Dougie Dougie hole" because Simon is playing.
I also need Lydia do go around saying "Perry, I'm bored" and demanding something fun happens!
so excited to watch this! all my fave yogs in one place + cosmic horror? looking forward to what tom gets up to on this new channel
holy shittt i’ve been waiting for another yog call of cthulhu for so long
Oh awesome! I love Tom's GMing style and wanted something more than the shorter segments he did for Yogsquest.
Funny Simon should mention Conan the Barbarian as Conan is a contemporary of the Cthulhu Mythos. H.P. Lovecraft (creator of Cthulhu) and Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan) were penpals and wrote to each other frequently. Lovecraft's monsters and dark gods even appear in the Conan mythos.
It's nice to see Simon looking so aerodynamic
I love this! Tom's Call of Cthulu has always been some of my favourite yogscast content. Looking forward to catching up on all the rest over on Myster Quest! I really enjoyed the breakdown of the adventure at the end of the video too.
Although, I do miss the Griswald family... I hope they fumble their way back from the beyond.
I love this stuff Tom, you are a great DM and all your roleplaying videos are amazing!
Loved the talk after the session, that post session talk is always one of my favorite parts when running my own sessions. You're old Call of Cthulu campaign's were some of my favorite series so I can't wait for more!
WOOHOO! FINALLY!
I've been so _heckin_ excited for this release, and I've been begging for more long form content for ages!
Uuuggghh finally something I can really sink my teeth into!
Thank you so much Tom, Simon and Lyds. 😊
❤❤❤
I love this! Lydia’s roleplaying is amazing!
This was fun! Lydia and simon make a great investigator team, and tom you're a calm and fair DM.
Those 1920s curls are called "finger waves" 😊 Also, Perry was definitely shot by a client who discovered his scam 😂
HALE YEAAHHH one of my favorite series ever is back!! And with chauncey and big lyds!!!
So good to see more Call of Cthulhu content on TH-cam, it's definitely a niche that needs showing off more
Call of Cthulhu "Screaming and shitting myself" That is 100% how my players are at my table XD
finally Tom coming back doing cthulhu with Simon, i could not ask for anything better
Christmas came early this year! super excited to sit down and watch this whole game!
Me: I’d really like something longer than 12 minutes from Tom…
Tom: Get ready to shit the bed mate…
The thing I've waited for most, at last
I'm excited for the long form content on the other channel. I think introducing it on the main channel is a right proper way to ease others into the other channel!
Heck yeah! The start of something incredible!
i was screaming when simon just shot at him "just ffiiin talk to him"
This was all sorts of amazing 🤩
Lydia and Simon are such a good character duo, and I just love Tom as a Game Master/Keeper
Holy shit I am so excited. Thank you for bringing this style of content back and making Mystery Quest Tom. I cannot wait for what you guys have in store
Yessss!!! I love your CoC content, especially with these 2 awesome guests!
Everyone: “diggy is dead”
Simon and Lydia: “not dead just missing”
Simon ; *sees diggy* “kill it, its a monster!!!”
I love these two 😂
Really enjoyed the tale. The ambience added a lot of tension.
