I'm listening to Harlan's CoC games since many have ties to Malevolent, like the first appearance of the Butcher, and I'm on Game 1 and just hearing them talk to Armitage, talk about Anna Stancyk, the 3 soldiers and Shubby, with all the knowledge I have from Malevolent is so fun. I definitely see why people who'd listened prior to Malevolent or during the early seasons get so excited. Even the creepy crow typewriter makes an appearance. I'm listening in "order" but I can't wait to get to Witcher's Mark and my boy Collins.

#call of cthulhu #malevolent #the butcher #the games are long which is the only downside but very worth it #espc since Justin from Dice Shame is Frank Underhill #and Alex G (Dorin) is in the first few episodes #of CoC game 1

"hey, you like ttrpgs, why don't you get more involved with the gaming community here?"

well here's a running list of some of the things professional GMs in the local ttrpg space have told me before:

"too many poor people are playing ttrpg"

"too many women are playing ttrpg"

people who run one-shots aren't good GMs because they can't run long campaigns

women GMs aren't good because people only join their tables cause they're women and they don't actually know the game well enough to run games

table safety rules are only needed if you're playing with strangers in a game sensitive topics (he then breaks everyone's boundaries by forcing non-con sexual relationships onto PCs)

to be a GM you need physical sourcebooks for people to take you seriously

the problem with homebrews is that most people aren't game designers so they won't do it right therefore non-professional game designers should not homebrew

thanked me for playing and made posts online about women being "comfortable" at his table to make other gms/players in the community jealous

that i should kiss another female player so that he could get more men to sign up for his games

uses an AI bot to create inappropriate artwork of the characters

says they're pro-LGBT but also say that bi/nonbinary/genderfluid characters make no sense cause they have to choose a side eventually

having a table made of players with mixed experiences (beginners, casual players, etc.) is bad because then you have to handhold the newbies too much

says he's a feminist and then lists down all the things "wrong" with my body and appearance but it's okay cause he would date me if he was single and would pay me to be his girlfriend

called people red flags if they call out behaviors in-game and outside games that made them uncomfortable

BONUS NOT A GM:

another player tried explaining to me how i was playing the game wrong despite it being his first game ever and that he did half the math on his character sheet wrong

like i know it's not a reflection of the entire ttrpg community here, i've met many incredible players and made some good friends. but there is a reason why i just want to stay with my current table and not be involved in the local ttrpg community anymore

#like its already so hard to be AFAB in the gaming community #maybe i just want to play a game to have fun with friends and not go home feeling like absolute crap #i just want to roll dice and play pretend with my friends dammit #i have way too many horror stories #ramblings #ttrpgs #ttrpg community #call of cthulhu #fabula ultima #dungeons and dragons #pathfinder #d&d

would you by any chance have more tidbits to share about great Yliaster and its history, or the Pansekretis? every so often (when the twenty prokofiev tracks on my phone show up) I think about how I would listen to that particular CD until it (or I) snapped. regardless, thank you for sharing all these wonderful secrets from your games! I reread your tag every so often and it's as heady as reading the ten volume series they'd be.

ah jeez. So this is from the huge Call of Cthulhu game I never got to run because Covid started. this shit keeps me up at night. I went through my notes for this campaign recently, like, kind of curious if it was as good as I remembered it being, and you know what? it was. it was so good.

So Yliaster and the Pansekretis were linked, but in a way that the players probably wouldn't have figured out until about a year of play. (This was designed to be a ~3 year long game.) What the players knew at the outset of the game was that:

Yliaster was a theorized pre-Mongol steppe civilization that had left behind almost no archaelogical evidence...until Yarina's grandfather (Yarina was Emily's player character) made his career by discovering Yliaster's ancient capitol city, high in the Sayan Mountains. The city's discovery proved that not only did Great Yliaster exist: it had been an empire, a mountain civilization that stretched from the Pacific Ocean nearly all the way to Persia. And as Yarina's grandfather's excavation of the city continues, more and more evidence of Yliastrian civilization emerges: revealing that pockets of Great Yliaster had persisted for far longer than anyone had previously suspected.

The biggest giveaway that any particular artefact or archaeological site is Yliastrian is the presence of the distinctive, highly intricate system of writing that the Yliastrian priest-scribes used for everything from recording their history, to performing their spell-work. This will be important later.

Yarina's grandfather was in particular reconstructing a great wall at the center of the Yliastrian capitol city that recorded all of Yliastrian history, which had been smashed to pieces during the invasion that finally brought Yliaster down. This will also be important later.

Apparently unrelatedly, the Pansekretis was a ballet put on in Moscow 6 months ago (that is to say, in 1936) that was cancelled after a single performance under the cloak of some kind of scandal. One of the first NPCs the party meets (on their bus to the gulag in session 1) is Sasha Beloglazov: the star ballet dancer of the Bolshoi, who played the male lead in the Pansekretis. He tells the party that the dancers went mad on stage and started attacking each other: the audience rioted, and joined in the violence. This was all very much set up to remind my genre-savvy players of The King in Yellow. Obviously the Pansekretis is some kind of cursed ballet: but how, and what agent is responsible for creating it?

So over the course of their investigations, the players would have slowly pieced together that Yliastrian script had the power to reshape reality, and that by reconstructing that wall, Yarina's grandfather was actually bringing Yliaster into existence. Whatever force had destroyed Yliaster (a totally different plotline running through the game would have been figuring out who they were) had taken pains to destroy or hide every skerrick of Yliastrian writing, because reading Yliastrian writing causes Yliaster to exist. The more of it is uncovered, the more there is to find. And if Yarina's grandfather finishes his work of reconstructing that wall, Yliaster will have never been destroyed at all. This is bad, because Great Yliaster was a terrible civilization of slaving, mutilating priest-scribes who bent reality to their will in order to dominate their subjects completely.

They also would have pieced together that there are some parties who have become aware of the power of Yliastrian writing, and are seeking to benefit from it. Some of them are mundane: such as Oleg Kuzmich, a calligrapher from Glavlit - the Soviet censorship bureau - who has been learning Yliastrian script from intercepted letters and academic writing. Some of them are arcane: such as the scavenger-cultists of Emesh Redivivus, worshippers of Nyarlathotep. (Some of them are personal: Dunya - another of my player's characters - had a mother who disappeared one day, who was a historiographer who discovered Yliastrian sorcery and accidentally wrote herself out of existence, but is continuing to try to guide her daughter from the literal margins of history.)

All of this would have eventually allowed them to crack the mystery of the Pansekretis: it wasn't the story, or the script, or the music that gave the ballet its terrible power, but the choreography. The dancers were actually being forced to describe Yliastrian sigils on stage with their movements. And the active agent responsible for this was none other than their (at that point) good friend Sasha Beloglazov himself, who is the leader of the Emesh Redivivus cult. He wanted to call an aspect of Nyarlathotep into himself as the central figure of this blasphemous dance: and he succeeded. It would probably be about 1.5 years into the game when the players realized that one of their closest NPC friends had been intermittently being controlled by Nyarlathotep the whole time.

Freeing, or stopping, Sasha Beloglazov, and preventing the return of Great Yliaster, were both going to be back-half-of-the-campaign Serious Problems to Solve.

Some of my old dice. Unbagged ones are from various sources - I'm not sure where the others come from, but were possibly 'inherited' when our rpg group's dice were mixed up after each session back in the 80s. Bag on the left is from blue box 'Expert' D&D. Bag on the right is from Star Frontiers. All of them are sitting on my well-used 2E Call of Cthulhu rulebook.

Is There a Video Game Like DnD? The Intersection of Gaming and Music in 2023-2024

In the mystical realm of gaming, where dragons soar and dungeons beckon, lies a captivating genre that has enthralled adventurers for decades: Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). But what if I told you that beyond the tabletop dice rolls and character sheets, there exists a parallel universe of video games that mirror the essence of D&D? Buckle up, fellow travelers, as we embark on a quest to explore these…
