Great Dane Society Call of Cthulhu

The quest and chaos team never disappoint. Their CoC games and DDT have been some of my best hours spent at the dmv or jury duty. Go back and listen to the 1st and 2nd season. Down darker trails is still my fav. Ezra is an inventive Keeper and has answered a couple of my questions when I asked. Great job everyone!! I do miss Amy “Abe Froman lives!!!”

Most of the time, the stories are very good, and the gameplay is pretty solid, but the way things go down is often very frustrating. The GM, Ezra, has a tendency to have NPCs over-react in character to out-of-character jokes from the players, or common mistakes, like mispronouncing or misremembering a name, all of a sudden whoever they’re talking to is incredibly suspicious at hates the PCs. The number of times this has come up is staggering, and incredibly annoying. The players never seem to put up a fight, so I can only assume they’re on board, and hopefully they’ve coordinated on expectations before playing together, but I would never want to play in a game like that, and frankly, I don’t want to listen to any more of this because of it.

It’s a great podcast that I genuinely love, but in seasons 2 and 3 there tends to be some triggering topics that are expressed without any real trigger warnings, even in post production. Mainly Mistreatment of children and traumatized individuals. If you aren’t triggered by such topics, it’s a great listen. For the Q&C team, I love it, and I understand where as it’s initially Live play that it’s hard to predict these sorts of things, but please add trigger warnings in post production, even if it’s just in the episode descriptions. It would be greatly appreciated.

This is an absolutely incredible real play group. The players understand their characters so well and the interactions are often more compelling than the eldritch horror. Yet another amazing program from Quests & Chaos.
