2:39:55 my theory for why the colonel has such a high sanity is that he has his own flavour of insanity that makes him resistant to other flavours of insanity similar to how the chaos orb Dani found in the plane of salt protected it's ship from being degraded by the chaos of the abyss with it's own field of elemental chaos.
Relistening to this knowing the twist and doing a little cross-referencing with the source text is so fun, catching all of Sophia's little details - 10/10
I'm SO PUMPED!! Can't wait to see what Sophia plans to put the team through!!! Edit: Sophia sound so not proud to know Cats as intimately as she does, and it makes it all the more funny that she's giving extremely specific names. Idk if she is or not, most cats fans I know love it with their whole self, unironically, this was just super funny to me lol Edit2: the fucking "TIGER'S CATS EYE GODDAMNIT" really got me
Going back through I pulled up the song lyrics and there’s SO MANY REFERENCES!! Even small ones that felt like flavor text. I applaud the commitment to the bit
1:56:28 Wally whipping out the old chestnuts! :D Let us hope our estimable investigators do not end up cataleptic, and will not paws in their effort to nip this trouble in the bud! Will they claw success from the teeth of catastrophe, and avert a cataclysm? Or will they be caught napping, and barely survive by a whisker? Come on, folks, don't be pus-- And that's about as far as I want to drive the gag.
I hate that I don’t have time tonight and have to listen to it tomorrow. Oh well, happy Halloween! Edit: I was not prepared for a slightly more eldritch abomination version of Cats.
Sophia, with all due awe and respect, what the fuck? Why would you do this? It was very good. I can never visit Philly due to the psychic damage (also i need to check where The Show has been performed the longest/most but i'm 90% it was at london for a While) Spoilers beyond this point Also GODDAMNIT Felix Possum. There's at least two layers to that name. I think i'm catching three tbh. (Felix the Cat, Possum's guide to practical cats, and playing possum by faking his death) ETA: Felix the Cat was created in 1919. So theoretically, in this continuity, it could have been direct inspiration on Macavity's part
Not mine. I had several books long ago, the core rules, The Masks of Nyarlathotep, Beyond the Mountains of Madness, Arkham Unveiled, and the one in Innsmouth...never got to play them with a group, though. This is a lot of fun.

Spoiler for the episode below A short eulogy for the colonel: A man that died like he lived for the benefit of a weird lady he barely knew A man who was as british as one could be like british food he killed the one eating him He was the most sane of us God save the king
This has been living rent free in my brain for about a year now. How are the characters names spelled, for fanart purposes. also is "wix"(or however it's spelled) middle name or a surname for the colonel?
I love the series but I like to listten over watching d&d because I love the stories and my mind puts a better picture when I dont have the gameboard but that might be just me.
Does anybody know, if Colonel didn’t explode the barrel, would Sophia have let the rolling blob throw up its victims? Supposedly, Lexi did grab the ones that made it more likely to hurl, so I’d just like to know if that was even an option, or would it have auto failed and ended in an early TPK?

I knew Call of Cthulu was less a game of winning and more of a 'who can lose the least' but _oh my goodness_ .

Red pulled off some Ally Beardsly levels of scraping by in this one. If a shadow twitched one last time she would've snapped like her patella.
Beware Spoilers!
Sophia: Don't get attached to anyone! People will die!
Me: *gets attached*
Cecil and the Colonel die
Me: *cries*

This episodes of “nightmares for everyone!” Ais brought to you by the Philadelphia Board of Tourism. Bored of tourism? Come to Philadelphia!
I've been saving this for in between the re-cast. I'm literally 10 seconds in and I love it. This podcast brings so much energy.
Maybe the real eldritch horror was the Andrew Loyd Webber we met along the way.
P

“Not one of our regular holiday games” god dammit. GODDDDD DAMNIT
The Cats twist made me so mad because I can never reach that level of trolling myself! 😂
Listening to this on TH-cam, and a video titled "This is Philadelphia" popped up on my recommended page.
Sophia’s evil plan
Of COURSE Red’s fast talk is one of her high stats.
I hate that I don’t have time tonight and have to listen to it tomorrow. Oh well, happy Halloween!
Edit: I was not prepared for a slightly more eldritch abomination version of Cats.
Of course Red is the one obsessed with space
Oh my goodness, basing a CoC on freaking CATS is… appropriate.
Is that "not everyone will survive" a promise? Because over on Trials and Trebuchet's Halloween stuff this year half the players got ganked, haha.
Sophia, with all due awe and respect, what the fuck? Why would you do this?
It was very good.

A very good All Hallows’ Eve to everyone, may your hoard of delectable treats be plentiful, and may your dice roll with favor!
It is my first contact with the Call of Cthulhu system and it was a blast!

I discovered the podcast a few weeks ago and somehow accidentally skipped to this episode. Now I can't stop relistening to it
I wish I could see everyone’s costumes 😢
As someone who has never seen Cats, this was entertaining.
Why if it isn’t my favorite podcast, back at it again
Around the 2:03:53 mark is when they truly peer into the void, and find out that their world is just a collection of media references. XD
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
“Told you I’d cope. I’ll manage just fine. Don’t worry, sit tight. I’ll drop you a line.
Don’t know where I’m going. Not sure where I am. I’ll sew on my shadow, one stitch at a time.
I will see on my shadow, one stitch at a time”

Spoiler for the episode below
A short eulogy for the colonel:
A man that died like he lived
for the benefit of a weird lady he barely knew
A man who was as british as one could be
like british food he killed the one eating him
He was the most sane of us
God save the king
Finally watching this, the theme used for this adventure is very fun.
I've been doing all.the.things that need doing just so I have a excuse to finish this! So many clean clothes and dishes and suchlike!
Look at you, adulting all over the place! Nice job!
you goddamn theater kids lmao. so happy i got my wish for a halloween one-shot... great fun ^___^
any chance of dom guesting again in season 3?
About that
A wonderfully spooky tale!
This is such a Banger, love this. Love ya guys. Thanks for the All Hallows’ Treat.
Happy the pod still running I love this cast
Ooh, how delightfully spooky!
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Incredible! What a brilliant campaign! Genius! And well played!! My goodness!
fucking Cats XD
Yes! Fucking cats! 😺♥
I saw this comment as I was starting, because I was curious... so of course I was picking it up the whole time when I wouldn't have before.
@pyrosianheir Noooooooo the spoilers!
This has been living rent free in my brain for about a year now. How are the characters names spelled, for fanart purposes. also is "wix"(or however it's spelled) middle name or a surname for the colonel?
This needs to be a published module
I’m wearing my cats hoodie. Like the one I got when I went to the musical. From before the movie.
Dani is Over powered the damage she deals is insane and I am at episode 3 of season 2 so please no Spoilers.
Just imagine Dani in this campaign of Call of Cthulhu.
I love the series but I like to listten over watching d&d because I love the stories and my mind puts a better picture when I dont have the gameboard but that might be just me.

Just bookmarking this spot 2:03:00
Not seeing everyone is a crime
Based also first!!!
As someone form Philly, man-eating roaches don’t sound too far fetched. 😂
Seriously, thanks for the hometown rep, this is incredibly entertaining.❤🥨🔔
