Virgil mentions that this is a prequel to the earlier episodes, but Will mentions his phobia of modern art. That phobia was acquired in the second episode, which is supposed to occur AFTER the events of this adventure. This is a clear retconning of the Tabletop Game Theory canon.
Sir, that is not a retcon, I served in the air force in World War I, as a troop, I can tell you that Will had a phobia of modern art from the beginning, but that phobia was cured at the end of this when they were all cured of their madness, and then he re-acquired the exact same phobia in the second episode. Boom! Headshot. This is canon. There is no retcon. Lib destroyed with facts and logic.
His initial phobia revolved around neo-Fauvist social realism. It only metastasized into a general fear of modern art during the events depicted in the aforestated video. Sir. Good sir
Do you think I won't download the video and ffmpeg the audio track so I can listen to the episode while preparing sandwiches for my customers, because I will
16:50 William takes 4 points of sanity on a 1d3.....Virgil I WILL be emailing you to inform you that a 1d3 = 1d6 (integer division) 2, and that you made the SAME mistake in Musks of Nyarlathotep when Felix rolled a 1d8 instead of a 1d3 on handgun damage. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure your players KNOW WHICH DICE TO ROLL
HAHAHHA I don't even play this game but my facepalm left a bruise in the shape of a palm on my face when he said 4 ^.^ Somehow, though, it makes the boys even more lovable!
Sir, I regret to inform you that as Virgil stated at the beginning, This. Is. Canon. Therefore all of the D&D rules for the Call of Cthulhu setting have been revised and retconned for the canonically CORRECT rolls that Will and Felix made, and Virgil did not make any mistakes as a DM. I will write a letter to the president of Miskatonic University, where you teach, to inform him of your slander here, and I challenge you to say this to Virgil’s face, in front of his wife! Good day sir! Sincerely Bret Stephens, New York Times columnist, September 17, 1924
In the original scenario, there's a guy that works at a morgue who the neighbor is working with to get body parts, in exchange for supplying him with drugs. The journal entries that Virgil skips, besides the funeral entry, are the ones where the neighbor exposits on it. It makes sense for Virgil to have removed that guy to streamline the adventure, but I don't think it occurred to him that without that detail, there's no reason for Will, Matt, and Felix not to think that Jeffstein is just a murderer.
I'm emailing Geek & Sundry / Critical Role immediately to get you guys a spot on a high-end CoC set next time you come out to California to see your fans like me.
It's been a while since I've seen Critical Role but Mercer would not be able to handle the Dry Boys and no shade his games wouldn't be as smart or funny as theirs
I did a live stage reading of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" where a guy on the side was playing a theramin. It was friggin' awesome and I highly recommend it (and he let us play it, too).
I hope Virgil comes back to be the keeper of another Tabletop Game Theory. However, if he doesn't and if Chris replaces him, I'm sure Chris would be great. Chris is hilarious on his own, he'd bring a different energy to Virgil's "as you know, I am a gamer" style. He does have a similar deadpan delivery in his locker. Anyway much love to Virgil, thank you for the Game Theory episodes, hope they continue in one way or another.
Question for anyone who's familiar with the campaign Virgil was working off of, is there any way things could have gone differently? It seems to me like the dry boys did some solid investigating, but is there a "better" ending than fight and kill the thing?
It’s a really diverse scenario, probably one of the best IMO. If they don’t intervene soon enough Man-Bagari (yog sothoths son) becomes strong enough and will kill Mr Corbitt (jeffstein) and will escape, and the investigators will be tormented by news stories of people being killed horribly. They can also feed and raise Man-bagari but he will turn on them when he is strong enough
There’s also a whole subplot with the crazy satanist hospital orderly who helps jeffstein. When I ran the scenario my investigators kidnapped and tortured him for information and dug up Corbitt’s family’s corpses to inspect them
I know the intro for all the CoC episodes is from Rites of Spring by Stravinsky and the sad dramatic music at 26:25 is a re-orchestration of Handel's Sarabande in D minor
@@supplyanddemandmusic Thank you!!! Now the only one I'm still curious about after all this time is the bit of "old timey charleston music" they play at the start of the intermission.
ugh if you're not a total troll it's "n-word(hard-r)man" Lovecraft was a racist dork, but it seems his endless fear helped his writing, which was significant.

Can't believe it took this long to post. I'm emailing Virgil's mother immediately
Alexis Texas is very disappointed in her son.
@@AmericanSuit Alexis Texas was born in 1985. Virgil is baby.
don't bother, Alexis Texas never fucking answers fan mail

first youtube comments section i've looked at in a while that hasn't given me a headache bless up kings
Why is this only on youtube? When you feed me slop, i demand you put it in the bucket i prefer
You're traaaaaaaash
Do you think I won't download the video and ffmpeg the audio track so I can listen to the episode while preparing sandwiches for my customers, because I will
the FAILING Trappo Chap House, can't even upload they're own POD casts. So sad. So sad
what's your bucket? dtube?
@@janglestick Mine is castbox, which I like except it would be fucking great if it stopped trying to get me to listen to joe rogan
SIR I BELIEVE YOU MEAN CAPONE SPEAK EASY SIR
I have tactically ascertained that this is, indeed correct, sir. Perimeter secured.
Chris is so cute playing that theremin.
That's what I call commitment.
That sinister look of enjoyment on his face was priceless.
Chris, enormous respect, what an effort!

Lmao I had to skip a Ben Shapiro ad before this
rare to see matt better dressed than virgil.
Seeing Felix dressed in an IDF shirt is, on the other hand, as normal as things get.
Virgil seems like a truly EXCELLENT gamemaster (or Keeper, Dungeonmaster, Storyteller, whatever - in any case, it should be clear what I mean).
Llloo
I'm just here to call the dry boys libs.
Hello, libs.
It took me 54 minutes to realise Virgil was wearing a cape
Took me 73, when I saw this comment.
I'd have missed it altogether if I hadn't went straight to the comments to see people shitting on Virgil for that diceroll fuckup.

wish I could find a girl/boy/anyone who would look at me like Matt looked at Virgil after he finished the intro

Tabletop Game Theory is the best kind of Chapo episode. They should battle Pod Enslave America in the next one.
Musks of Nyarlathotep (V & VI) is still the best one in the series
That's pretty dandy bro
@Illiterati you like stories? What like reading books? That's pretty dandy, bro.
Matt looking like an entire damn meal
Felix looking more like Faze Banks everyday
I hope he sues you for slander, Felix looks like he'll be keeping his hair longer than the gaming monk
"Mixed religion marriages are always hard" lmfaooo
Matt is living Hot Girl Summer
Who wants to meet up and go into a K-hole with this playing in the background
Ya carrying brah?
Getting noided
Though seriously if there are any Grey Wolves in the RI, Southcoast Massachusetts area who'd like to get fucked up together that'd be cool
I’ll melt into the cuddle puddle
Man, forget that special K. This is a program for my beloved Lucy.
This has been the most exciting painting session i've had so far. Didnt expect to be spending 2 hrs listening to this
The tabletop nerd rules lawyers in the comments? I see you.
I know you.
I am you.
Great episode! Love these special eps. Wonderful foley work by Chris. Fantastic job to everyone who helped make this episode possible!
It's like an It's Always Sunny episode.
That Charleston intermission music slaps
Producer Chris got me wishin I was that theremin @56:17 😫😫😫
Will looking like late Taxidriver era Martin Scorsese
Now that you should see
This is a great production value for an RPG liveshow
German Democratic Republic?
@@ETYPEJaguar38 my brain decided to switch language, fixed
virgil look's like the guy that only knows about history, but has a degree in physics
Fuck, I just realised that's me but with 2 engineering degrees

"is the dungeonmaster alan dershowitz?"

I probably would have tried talking to that nurse in the loony bin to find out what she saw at the live birth. Other than that, great episode!
Pick a number 1 thru 3... "4!"
It took me at least a couple episodes to get the reference of "Capone speakeasy"... Fun times.
Chris = best Chapo
I never knew I wanted a theremin
Me too. Turns out they're expensive as shit.
29:40 - Virgil’s laughing resPonse to Will’s musing is equal Parts delightful and unnerving
Man washing horse 8: infinity horses
This vid covered all of my nerd/geek needs.
My only disappointment was that I like watching our boys dance...I remain optimistic.
That creature they fought at the end is obviously that thing you become at the end of Inside.
Felix’s Coke saying Jorge on it makes me laugh like a nerd
I couldn't make it to the live show but I would've loved to had gone
aka Virgils coded confession
How many different stuff is Felix drinking?
as many things as it takes to give him a doo doo tummy like virgil so he can get out of doing more shit
i'm so into virgil's cloak
Time well spent.
This is exactly what happened when Virgil invited me over that one time when I was 16
Oof
I did a live stage reading of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" where a guy on the side was playing a theramin. It was friggin' awesome and I highly recommend it (and he let us play it, too).

@@adamazzalino5247 Passed your speech check with that one.
Share a Coke with Jorge
Get the boys on Critical Role
As lovely as the Critical Role folks are they're absolute normies compared to the Dry Boys. The references and humour would go over their heads
Arlo Steiner that’s praksaahhhssss
Although seriously it never hurts to build class consciousness in whatever way you can
Marcus Grant they certainly wouldn't getting guests spots on a channel which is very closely connected to rampant fanboy and consumerism
Nice, two Vietnam conspiracies in 30 seconds.
Come on Chapos we need more get Amber in on one
Possibly the best fit Will has ever pulled off
Felix looks NOTHING like I pictured in my head. I really screwed the pooch on that one.
"Loose d3 points of sanity",
"Wow, 4!".
sick shirt Felix
Got damn. Virgil Texas looks like Peter Sellers.
Finally!!
Is this being uploaded to the iTunes podcast?
Mr. Mercanto it will be at a later date tbd
Felix is having that Coke for Jorge
I wish PeoPle still talKed liKe they do in this comment section
Felix is Daddy.
Virgil is the Game Master. Clearly the Dad role.
Virgil is an absolute snacc and I will fight you if you think otherwise
Chris Wade is the best Chapo
Do more of these! This is fucking genius!
I don’t know what kind of beer Virgil is drinking but I’d like one
Virgil is innocent
So good
this shit is so funny
FINALLY
Anything Maltese is weird, Felix.
What's the song for the man washing horse?
Wat beers r those?

Hell yes
Nice hat bro
Man the chapo guys are a lot more freakish looking that I pictured them
the fucking theramin out of nowhere

Can someone clip Infinity Horse?
Does anybody know what monster picture they were looking at?

It's Man-Bagari, the Child-Thing from the Mr Corbitt campaign.

What the fuck is Matt drinking with what looks like a crab or a lobster on the label? (1:46:22 ish).
