Description

New to Call of Cthulhu? This TTRPG rules primer will help you follow along with Push the Roll with Ross Bryant. We cover the basics you’ll hear in play. Character sheets, skill rolls, pushing the roll, spending luck, sanity loss, and what combat really means when you’re just a fragile human in a world of cosmic horror. Using our improvised boarding school scenario The House of Inner Children, we demonstrate the rules in action with Ross Bryant, Paula Deming, cuppycup, Bridgett Jeffries, and Scott Dorward.


Content Warnings: Harm to children, Self-harm, Body horror, Fluids entering body/nose/mouth, Sanity and mental breakdown mechanics, Suffocation, Violence, Profanity
