This was an absolutely perfect intro to the system.
-
Perfect to get non-player friends involved.
-
As someone who has never played any TTRPG outside of half of a dozen D&D sessions, this REALLY made me want to play this game!!!

Had a house rule that when a character went insane, the keeper would roll a dice in secret. Even numbers meant you sit and drool doing nothing. Odd numbers meant the keeper controlled you for that turn/session. Roll again, 1 and 2 something useful (a clue to winning, etc), 3 and 4 something indirectly bad (open a door that shouldn't be open, etc), 5 and 6 attack a friendly. 14.48 that shadow on the far right is very CoC.

Always ask for a Sanity roll before describing what is causing the need for one... it always freaks out the players more, because they have no idea what they have just stumbled onto! :)
-
I am so looking forward to more of this from you. Before I saw the Stream Of Blood games, I had heard terrible things about the game's complexity, but it's really not that difficult to get your head around.
-
This is a fantastic break down, thank you for making it! I can't wait to get playing.
-

After reading a lot to prep for a 1 shot, this video is incredibly helpful, and wildly informative. Great script.
-
Thanks much! I haven't yet gotten the 7e rules, and having a clue how it works really helps. Love the Calyx videos I've seen thus far.
-
This is a really awesome recap! Thanks for this!!
-
Thank you for this vid! This helped me decide to start delving into this game.
-
The Professor holding his Thompson fails his sanity role and thinks all of his party members are Cthulhu minions!
-
I feel like you put a lot of work into producing this video and it shows, liked it.
-
Good summary for new players who haven't read the rules yet, or for those who need a refresher. Well done.
