Customer Reviews
Greeting from the Great White North
I was recommended this by someone on the Yog-Sothoth website and I’m very glad they did.
Currently trying to catch up from ep 85.
Keeper Dan’s laugh is so infectious I can’t help but join in.
I don’t play Call of Cthulhu RPG (unfortunately) but I do love the mythos itself and its other game variants.
I’ve been listening to your podcast as I write for our horror/mystery games using the old Supernatural RPG system (by Margaret Weis Productions); its helps to keep me in the right frame of mind as I take a break here and there or hit a snag.
Please consider a Go Pods! Fighting Cephalopods car decal.
Keep up the great work and GO PODS!
Some things you just can't unlearn
I'm not a Call Of Cthulhu keeper/player, but I love this podcast. Hearing the guys talk about Cthulhu horror gaming gets my creative juices flowing. Maybe some day I'll take the plunge, play some CoC and watch my sanity slip away, but even if I don't, I'll always listen to one of the best podcasts out there.
The Ultimate Resource for Call of Cthulhu Afficionados
Both new players and veteran Keepers can glean a tremendous amount of arcane knowledge from Keepers Dan, Chad, Murph, and Jon. They cover all aspects of the game, as well as Lovecraft-related gaming and media news. Guests are numerous and esteemed in Lovecraftian circles. Stay all the way to the end for some great outtakes (the vast majority of which include Keeper Murph colourfully botching lines!). Give it a listen and get some new perspective on the game and be well entertained at the same time!
