06:10 Last Game Recap
10:56 Game On - Hry
This series is 100% what streamed games should be.
I wanted to like but I don't want to ruin the 69 likes this comment has
Edit: and someone just ruined it
@@Gabrong I was 70 but will adhere to your wishes
Totally agree, never seen a session that felt some much like a game at home with friends
Now it’s 169. Nice.
As much as I like Brennen and (some) Chaosium, this one is my favorite because, unlike every other online RP stream I've ever seen, it feels natural, like a kitchen table session, like the cameras are off, instead of try hard.
"I'm about to poop my tactical cargo pants" 🤣
Please bring back this team for more cases 🙌
I’ve been thinking about that for weeks. I want more.
Much more!!!
I have to say...
For some reason, video actual-play episodes have never been able to hold my attention. Audio podcasts? Fine. Video? Can't do it.
Until the first installment of this scenario. Since then I've been bingeing Glass Cannon videos. These guys are amazing. And Seth, you're always fantastic, so this is just the ultimate in actual-play presentations. Thank you for introducing me to this group.
Same for me, tbh.
Although I’m pretty picky even with podcasts. This and The Lovecraft Tapes have so far been the only ones able to grab my attention. Probably because they’re pretty similar in tone/themes.
Chaosium’s Australian live play crew is great too. Clever and entertaining, but it’s real play .. not the Los Angeles style actors trying to get noticed style roleplay.
@@sub-jec-tiv I'll check them out. I'm not a fan of over-the-top productions, either, when it comes to actual plays. And what I've identified after watching GCN for over a year now, is that I'm mostly drawn to how much fun these folks are obviously having. More reminescent of actually playing with friends at a table than any other I've seen (to date, anyway).
Troy's raspy voice is ideal for this sort of game.
He is a great GM and contributes
You should listen Androids and Aliens...his style is great for a lot of games
@@guille787 Thank you. I'll check it out 👍
@@euansmith3699 you're welcome man! I would also recommend you to see Troy as a player in 'Get in the trunk'...absurdly funny
@@guille787 Roger Cumstone takes care of business
Since I posted some quotes I liked on the last video, I've made a little collection for this video as well:
- "Is everything okay?" - "Yeah, I just tried breaking the phone over my knee, but it didn't work and now my knee hurts."
- "So a couple of things are going to happen..." - "I'm going to poop my tactical cargo pants."
- *really raspy voice* "THERE'S NEVER A BETTR TIME T' DRINK!"
- "What is this thing...?" - "IT'S A GUN, DYLAN!"
- "Does he meet the description of...Scott Parker?!" - "Does he have any alcohol?"
- "I've put points into dodge, but I'm fucking crazy right now, so I'm gonna fight back."
My favorite was Seth’s “You don’t know HOW kind!” When he almost saved the engineer from the sanity loss xD
@@ReplicatorFifth fact
@@ReplicatorFifth that engineer **really** should have accepted the offer of going for a drink on company time!
I liked when Dylan was attacked by the tendril Matt asked Do I roll for sanity? - NO you will be dead soon - LOL
This is the "The Big Lebowski" of Cthulhu stories. NONE of these people should be the ones dealing with this situation! 🤣
I can just see Alex Jones ripping his suit jacket off while freaking out and running in there with his rifle while his eyes are kind of bugged out looking because of the night vision camera lmaoo great story telling!!
Can’t wait for the review of “intimate encounters”. Jack will be shocked to learn Seth survived for once.
Spoilers man!
Watched it live. It was a delight. I think we naturally want to see what the creators of channels like yours are like when they run and play games. Happy you did this collaboration!
I think this is one of the most likable band of characters I've seen in a campaign.
These guys have great chemistry. I thought I'd come here just for Seth, I'm glad to say I'm pleasantly surprised.
I watched it live and I’ve still been counting the minutes until this was posted. Just such a fantastic two-parter. I’ve wanted this collab since I started following you and GCP, and I’m thrilled to say it more than lived up to my hopes and expectations!
This was a fabulous blend of laughs, mystery, darker tones. Ultimately: a LOT of fun. Thank you again!
That was the most fun "Actual Play" I've seen. I do hope Seth plays with that group again. Together, they are pure magic!
Russ is the man, he isn't doing any damage Hes the only one telling it like it is!!
He's doing it for the REAL America!
This 2 part series is too good. Feels like something from the X-Files.
Love the chemistry between all the players. Absolutely hilarious! This GM is awesomely talented.
2shy
Thank you for the compliment. 😂
I'm hoping this colab is enough to push Seth over 100k Subs.
Thanks so much for giving us this experience, Seth. I read your previous comments about why you don't normally do live play, and totally understand it, but it was a real treat to get a taste of it, especially as a long time Glass Cannon and Skorkowsky fan.
I want to say it's appropriate that Chuck the Technophile totally fails to resist the alien machine.
AWESOME this is my second time through, Seth this was a GREAT game!
I just know Grant is biting his tongue not telling the guys how a GoPro works
That was pretty good! The Self-Sacrifice at the last minute was inspired! I'd have probably let him overcome the paralysis to do it himself, just to be dramatic! I subbed to their channel because of this one shot!
Thanks Joseph!
@@TheGlassCannon I started watching Aliens and Androids, but do you think I should start with the newer series?
The only disappointing thing in this is that it's over now! I hope someday we get more Seth liveplay, and Glass Cannon does more CoC.
Joe’s dice don’t realize rolling low is actually beneficial in this game.
I started part 1 a year ago. Wasn't feeling it. Having taken the time to finish the series, I would like to apologize personally to the entire cast. This was comedic gold.
Can’t wait to see chuck as a new character in your skits.
YES! YES! YES!
Entertaining, good pacing, funny, good chemistry. Great ideas by all. These guys get it. Thanks for posting this, Seth.
I usually have a really hard time sitting through live playthroughs with many of them having extremely long character/player introductions, tendencies to get way off track or just poor audio/video quality but I have to admit that I enjoyed this 2-part series. The characters were entertaining, the group stayed focused and the Keeper kept the story moving. If you get a chance to game with Glass Cannon again, I will definitely check it out.
The Anchorman crew takes on horrors beyond their comprehension 10/10
Really great show, guys. I hope you'll continue with the Two Americas News Network team next time.
That was pretty great!
In short the entity ran into Twitter & was desperately trying to get home 😂😂😂
I didn't have much empathy for the black blob until I read your comment. The poor thing! It's bad enough with human intelligence but to imagine its horror...
I usually get bored of actual play games. But the voice acting, humor, improvisation and teamwork is so enjoyable that I’d listen to more from this group.
By far one of the top three actual plays I've ever seen. It's a crime that this cast doesn't do semi-regular scenarios for CoC.
It was a really good group, group dynamics is one of the most important things in roleplaying, maybe the most important and everyone played off eachother and came up with different ideas instead of half the group doing 90% of the playing which is pretty common. Fun to watch anyways. :)
I loathe watching people stream their RPGs. I absolutely loved this. This was fun and a masterclass on how it can be done right.
would really like to see this becoming a regular collaboration . . .
When worlds collide! You and GCN are two of my favorite TTRPG entities online. Best. Oneshot. Ever!
I loved the John Carpenter explanation!
Please have Seth back as the Keeper running Pulp Cthulhu with this line up, that would be phenomenal
I was about to suggest that exact same thing. Scrolled way too low for this.
If someone would make a fan film of what this news crew would have seen, I’d be eternally grateful.
I love the Glass Cannon crew and Seth you really fit in with them.
Troy is a fantastic Keeper and the boys are great players! Nice to see you on their show. I really want to see you play with them more :)
We've discussed doing it again. We'll have to see how schedules align as to what and when. Though any future collaborations will almost certainly be exclusive to their Twitch and CZcams rather than on mine. The fact that my channel hosted it on CZcams this time was a special treat. I hope their channel has gotten some new Subscribers from people who watched this game.
Maybe the next game u guys do would be cyberpunk red
I'm only 5 minutes in, been waiting for this all week. Thanks Seth and GCP for making this happen. Would love to see more of this in the future. You've introduced me to both Call of Cthulhu RPG AND GCP so have a virtual beer as this has inspired me to get back into DM'ing after 2 years away.
Lots of fun.
This was by far the most thrilled adventure I have ever seen on an RPG cheeez what a nail biter.
Great job to everyone involved. This was amazing! I was listening to this while driving home from work and I had to pull over bc I was laughing so hard. I hope you and the glass cannon folks do another game at some point.
Thanks again!
Thanks. I'll be joining Skid and Matt for a Traveller campaign soon. It'll begin recording later this month, but no clue when it'll begin releasing. Though it'll be on Glass Cannon's channel rather than mine.
@@SSkorkowsky That is awesome! And thank you for the reply and all the work you do!
I have to let you know, I fanboy big time and brag to my players that I get replies from Seth Skorkowsky. So if you are ever feeling low (or that your SAN has taken a big hit) always remember you have fans in The Great Big North (lol Canada if the reference is lost eh)
Thanks again!
Setting up the PCs as Diet Info Wars was a brilliant move.
OMG, you guys have to do this again. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the whole thing. 5 stars.
Loved it, Call of Cthulhu is one of those games I find so hard to find good playthroughs of. I expected nothing less from you guys, awesome work!
This is the best live play on the net Seth. You are criminally under-subbed Sir.
I love this cast, Troy is captivating with how he goes about everything.
“Dillon is a big object.” 😂
These two videos introduced me to the Glass Canon Network and they're so entertaining! I've been making my way through their Starfinder playthrough of Dead Suns, Androids & Aliens, and it's been hilarious and really interesting.
That's great to hear Jonathan! Thanks for checking us out!
Loved it. Never listened/watched live action RPGs but if the other ones are just half as good as this I will definitely dig into more of them. Great fun!
Best roleplaying scene is when the intern says “yes” and just gets back to his phone.
I caught this live, but I had to give it a rewatch. Awesome collaboration, I'd love to see more of it. I've been a longtime fan of this channel, but this introduced me to Glass Cannon, and I've been binging New Game who Dis? all week. Successful Cross promotion! Much love to both you and them, and I wish you all the success in the world.
So awesome. I think the freelance 'CZcamsr' news team lends itself quite well to modern CoC. I had heard there was a variation of 'The Haunting' that kind of has that particular vein of flavor to it for a modern setting. (Edit: ...I'm a dingus, I think that was literally in Seths video on The Haunting...)
Whether this is the first of a few, or if this was a one and done it was still an absolute treat to witness.
I ran some players through The Haunting with this set up and it went great. They even kept Jack the NPCameraman alive through the whole thing and The Crack'd and Crook'd Manse
Hard working A'merkans used to build quality microwave oven-toasters, but it's nice that factories in your area can be retooled for Cthulhu-tech wi-fi towers. This is the kind of hard edged reporting I expect from my news team.
Thank you all. Great entertainment as always 🎉
"Tell me what you rolled" are the words of a DM who is going to lie because he doesn't want to kill his characters outright.
Such a good time. Thanks for sharing.
Great game, great story! Three of my favourite things - CofC, Seth and the GCP! Well done Seth!
Oh my goodness I loved this! I especially loved the impression of my generation with the Intern.
Really great! I caught the VOD on Twitch. I hope you get on the GCN again soon and often!
Please please please, more of these!
Seth they definitely made the right choice to invite you...and I love watching this!
Awesome to see you actually playing and what a phenomenal scenario and great group of players and GM. I hope you have more opportunities like this and share them with us.
As a new CC keeper, i would LOVE to see the prep material that was used for the game so you had all the flexibility to fully roll with the players choices.
As the recap was given, about the serial killer, I couldn't help but to think of this line from the late, great Jim Morrison...
"There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah"
What a brilliant watch! More of this on top of the usual content please.
You should defenitely play with them again in the future ! It was a delight to watch.
Just started part 2, and it's good that the phones fried. If left intact, the monster could track the group.
Like I said in the previous video, this was AWESOME. Great players, with lots of energy, Troy is a great keeper, with great imagination and improvisation skills. Everything was so great. Great, great, great!
I've watched this multiple times, how is this story not a feature film? Of course I want this bonkers cast of characters to go on more missions like this.
Jack the NPC I like your play style of your character “Seth”playing a Tabletop RPG , you cover them bases and think sideways with attention to detail....the other guys have their strengths of play as well.... great video.
"Call the police? What're the police going to do? *We're REPORTERS!* "
This was a really funny watch. Skid portrays the conspiracy theorist news anchor SO well!
This is what we need. More of these please.
This was wonderful. Hope we see more Seth-GCP co-op action in the future as well!
Just amazing boys just fucking amazing!
I'm thinking of running Call of Cthulhu as my next campaign. This video did a great job at describing the mood and tone. Shout out to Troy for being an outstanding Keeper.
This was an AMAZING watch :D
This is one of my favorite CoC live plays. I cant wait to get into their Masks campaign. Great to see Seth playing, I hope to see him with them again.
That game was a blast. Hope to play CoC with them again one day. Troy was a awesome Keeper.
I did end up doing 2 Seasons of Traveller Skid and Matthew since (crossing fingers for Season 3).
@SSkorkowsky I will definitely check those out as well! Thanks for all you do! Your channel helped me finally convince my group to try CoC!
Wow. I was sceptical at the beginning of the playthrough as I usually find such kind of videos boring. But very soon I realized how much I like this two-parter. An interesting story, good pacing, nice chemistry between the players. Hope to see something like this again.
Darn, I was hoping when he started saying "trick of the light" that he was going to reference the Men in Black scene about swamp gas catching the light of Venus off a weather balloon, or however it went.
Man, if the opportunity came up to get art done of the scene of the four of you following the trail as Chuck was filming, I might be willing to spend money on it. All of you wearing Go-Pros, reporter with a freshly discarded jacket stalking forward with a hunting rifle, cameraman with on hand steadying the camera and the other holding a leatherman knife, producer white knuckle holding a tire iron, and the intern with a chain wrapped around his arm and bolt cutters in the other hand. That just feels like a priceless image.
That combat was a blast.
This scenario is over the top...... I could not stop laughing during the whole mission..... by far my favorite COC adventure, because of these guys who have the most amazing gestalt......
Absolutely amazing
"It should have been the intern..." No truer words have been spoken...
That was fantastic. Thank you, Seth and Glass Cannon.
Good 'ol pump action, magazine fed, Marlin 30-6
This was truly awesome! You guys have to do this again.
So much fun! Imagine this being your group. God damn.
I want to see as much of Seth playing, or running, as possible
My favorite How We Roll campaign is the Peru Chapter and it’s like 40% because of Seth
Have you checked out the Flotsam and Jetsam stuff I've been doing with them? Frieda May is probably my favorite character ever. Sadly the pie scene in the first adventure was lost due to some audio glitch, but everything she says is wonderful.
@@SSkorkowsky I have! The second adventure went a little wild for me but I’m still looking forward to what comes next, and Frieda, especially in the first chapter, was amazing
God damn, I could watch atleast 10 more episodes of this. I really like the chemistry y'all have, I would love to see you on one of their new game who dis type series where they play more random or not as big RPG systems for a couple eps
All things considered that group did way better than I thought!
Loved seeing you play Seth! I think it's a great idea to keep your actual games private and unrecorded but I love seeing you play with the Glass Cannon, especially so you get to be a player !
I want to be all of these guy's friend. They seem like a blast to be around
Hooray! I really, really loved part 1. Thank you Seth & Glass Cannon!
This is great, its shown me everything I needed to have the confidence to run the game!
Its midnight and I'm definitely watching this whole episode.
Seth you're always wonderful in these please do more ❤
Please do more of these. i absolutely loved it!
This is a blast, thanks for posting it. The GC guys are great, Troy’s ongoing Masks series is incredible too. Fun to see you playing. Almost expected a fake moustache and a flask. :)
I had a feeling Seth's sanity check was going to go exactly the way it went. I can't explain it, but I did feel it.
