Description

Call of Cthulhu actual play and improv comedy meet to create a new kind of TTRPG show. Hosted by Ross Bryant (Dropout TV, The Glass Cannon Network) with guests from across the tabletop RPG community, each episode spins listener prompts into hilarious, unpredictable horror stories.



How it works:

Patreon supporters submit weird and funny scenario titles each month. Ross and friends roll dice against these prompts to spark a brand-new a Call of Cthulhu one-shot on the spot. Midway through, they “push the roll” again, introducing another suggestion that twists the horror story in a way that only high-wire improv comedy can.



If you’re into actual play podcasts, improv, or the Chaosium Call of Cthulhu RPG, you’ll find something funny and bizarre here. The joy of tabletop roleplaying unscripted without a net.
