Call of Cthulhu How it was meant to be played
The Old Ways is the ultimate in long form RPG storytelling: never rushed, never railroaded, full of character development and rich interactions both between investigators and with NPCs, backstories emerge slowly over literally hundreds of episodes in some cases, rich and evocative descriptions from the Keeper. Audio and production quality after the first few episodes of Masks becomes excellent. And for me, the best part is that the tone of the game is "serious," which is how I think a realistic, horror game should be run and played. This isn't to say there aren't moments of humor but they are appropriately timed with the moods of the scenes; the mood is never broken by raunchy jokes or weird pop culture references (some of the "side quests" where they play one-shots in different systems have a jokier atmosphere which fits those games and shows that the cast can play that way when they want to but choose not to in the main campaigns bc that's not the vibe of those worlds. Overall a fantastic cast, and a fantastic keeper whose style will inspire you to do better yourself.Read full review »

The Keeper Michael and team of investigators immerse the listener in a bygone time of the 1920s. One of my favourite scenarios - Masks of Nyarlathotep and now Horror on the...Read full review »

While it is slow , and they tell you that, the players are more like actors and are simply amazing making you believe they are there characters. Totally worth listening too.
