Time For Chaos is a playthrough of Masks of Nyarlathotep for the 7E Call of Cthulhu role-playing game system by Chaosium.
A mysterious lost expedition sets in motion an epic globe spanning adventure as investigators come face to face with ancient evils beyond the scope of human comprehension. Often considered the greatest role-playing game campaign ever written, Masks of Nyarlathotep stretches the boundaries of horror, driving both characters and players insane since its publication in 1984.

That Ross can just summon up a marching hymn on-the-fly (and one actually written in the 1920s, no less) is amazing, verging on scary. Barn-burner of an episode!
Well written a few years after this point of the campaign (but that may be part of the insanity).
It's quoting the Bible then breaking out into hymns while about to drink some squelching infernal blob for me
He's A-list I agree
The man is prepared on Point !
Man does his prep as a player.
The role play between Fairuz and her Baba--an under appreciated quiet gem in the background of all of the craziness.
"May I ask what this is in reference to?"
"You may, of course, go ahead."
"What is this in reference to?
Troy and Rob oughta do vaudeville!
This cast is so good. 👌
Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone, online or in person, better than Ross this series. As someone’s who’s been in this hobby for a decade and change and played with a lot of great players, this is the highest praise I can give. Amazing.
Ross is a treasure! The whole cast is amazing! I'm blown away every episode!
It IS an amazing cast! You clearly have great taste.
I love that rob didn’t even look at what he crunched 😂💀 just slid it back onto the shelf
That phone call to Noura's father was amazing.
Killer cast
During the interview with the Lawyer, I died laughing when Vaughn started going manic, Tillinghast rolled his persuasion roll and just as Vaughn started to loop he noticed and called him out of it.
And Nadeen was 🤌🏽
Had to look it up: $1,000 in 1925 was equivalent in purchasing power to about $17,847 in 2024 xD
I genuinely adore all these characters. It amplifies the horror tenfold! I want Vaughn to make it to the end but, I'll probably like Ross's new character if it comes to that
The way I see the characters - Rob's is the Bard of the party, Noura's is the Girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest, Kate's Mathilda from the Professional (stone cold killer), and Ross is a tragic figure from The Sun Also Rises...
Papa Ferouz needs more airtime :D
"Vaughan" leading the "Chakota choir" is a high point of the series.🤣
We should all appriciate the backgrounf music. It makes this show so much better
Is it credited anywhere? I have this campaign on my shelf and that would be a valuable resource am I ever to start dming it.
I hope Ross will voice an Australian character at some point that is the 1920s equivalent of Crocodile Dundee.
Fireplace weather is nice... as long as you don't have to leave the house to get to work every morning...
Troy's $1000 a head dinner is $15k equivalent to when this was recorded 😂
I'm just as invested in these characters as I was to the Giant Slayer PCs. Such fantastic chemistry and improvisation from the players. Rob is hilarious. Noura is just the coolest. Kate's energy is amazing (and i will never forgive her for how hilarious she was in the Star Trek RPG. 🤣) Ross never stops being impressive. And Yes, Troy's unforgiving virgo mindset and humor makes him such an amazing GM.
The scariest part is when No Signal tries to replace Troy.
I am really admiring Troy's choice of when to cut to the other group in a split party situation.
Ross went above and beyond in this instance! Awesome! "what a cool question"
Not sure whether they missed this rule but the first instance of Mythos-induced insanity should give the character 5% Cthulhu Mythos and each subsequent episode should grant an additional 1% (page 164)
As this is arguably the most idiotic rule that has crept into 7th Edition, I really hope they omitted this on purpose.
Amazing, Ross' improv is incredible in this one.
For Troy: I noticed a few things from last episode. Fists are 1D3 +DB, but like Shotguns they cannot 'impale' so no bonus dice on crits. People with firearms only get +50 dex priority IF they state intent to shoot. And you need to check the firearms modifier chart on page 119, bonus and penalty dice are not being applied (plus Kate could do new tricks with her shotgun from the same table) ... I only noticed this stuff as I'm preparing to be Keeper for the first time right now. Not trying to be 'that guy' 🙈
No, I appreciate the heads up! We're still learning too. I love rules corrections when they come from a place of goodwill!
@@TheGlassCannon ♥️ So glad you feel that way, as you played a large part in my getting involved with RPGs... I'm nearing 40 but only started RPing during lockdown, spurred on by the (fresh) knowledge that people play things other than D&D!
How you guys play multiple systems at any given time is beyond me, not to mention the whole professional storytelling thing on top of that. That's Rain Man stuff right there...
I am very happy I found this. I think Ross steals the show in a lot of scenes but this entire cast is amazing. First experience with call of Cthulhu and this cast made it an amazing one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I lost it at 1:39:48 when Troy's glasses teleported to his face
Oh, we're getting so close to the first character death/full padded room for life. I did laugh for way too long that they didn't stop that character from getting down there to lose all that sanity. A quick "Don't come down here! We're coming up in a minute, and you don't want to see this at all." Also, I think Noura should have had to roll some kind of damage from the phone call from her character's father as it started morphing into real-life phone calls. Everyone single after 28 or so gets those calls. Troy and those cliffhangers though. But please keep plucking at all the loose threads as that gives us more episodes before the holiday break/hiatus you mentioned was coming as I don't ever want this to end. It's too much fun.
" I did laugh for way too long that they didn't stop that character from getting down there to lose all that sanity." Thing is, how could they? They did not know he was up there.
Fairuz just won't give up. This group is far more curious than any group I've seen play this.
Good dialog and slow simmer of the horror event that just passed. This is such a great series
I say this every time, but Ross Bryant's characters going insane is one of my favorite things
Great players, great keeper, one of the greatest campaigns ever written, whats not to love.
Thanks!
Fairuz shouldn't be upset... New Jerusalem is England
"And did those feet,
In ancient times,
Walk on England's mountains, green..."
Fall is my favorite. The food, hunting season, and I get to wear my favorite clothes.
Wasn't expecting a vampire weekend reference right off the bat
You guys always brighten up my Mondays. Thank you for being awesome.
Seriously loving this series so so much, it's beyond amazing. You can feel just how invested they all are, Keeper included! The energy is infectious!
Ross you mad genius where did you get that song from, that was terrifying and glorious
So agree - the fact he pulled that out and just dove into it added this surreal atmosphere - definitely the highpoint of the series to this point.
Player pokes the Keeper
The keeper happens to be Troy Lavallee
Player gets destroyed by the NPC they forced him into
i love these characters and the creepiness of the adventure is awesome
Troy throws out "What jumps out at you..." so casually when the players are searching an area that I half-expect him to hit everyone with a curveball by saying "What jumps out at you is a shoggoth" in the same matter-of-fact tone.
Some folks suspect when Demeter went into a rage, she caused Summer not winter. And the heat and drought killed everything, not the cold and ice.
Gosh I really enjoy Rob
Seconded!
Another great episode
What an amazing series ! The whole cast is great and so is the Keeper... but Ross is really on another level of roleplay.
OMG - Super awesome fun episode 🥰 Vaughn and Carter were fantastic in the basement encounter 🥰 This is simply a gold medal group - You all are awesome - Ty ty for all the fun and strangeness - More please 🥰 Ia ia Nyarlathotep 🤑
I hate the summer. I'm wrapped up like Marlon Brando in the Isle of Dr Moreau - flowing linens, stupid big hats, white paint all over me- the entire time! The only thing I'm mutating are freckles and moles, though, and those things can't carry palanquins.
Chaosium, in their infinite wisdom, created CoC just for this playthru.
This is the most immersive stream out there! The cast is amazing and I think that Troy is at his best when he's running Call of Cthulhu 🤩 I hate fall though, who in their right mind would pick fall over summer! 🤣 You rock guys 💗
You're in the comments section of a Call of Cthulhu game. How many of us do you actually think are sane? ;-) ia ia autumn! Ia ia fall!
@@paxtenebrae 😅
Troy being a Middle Eastern dad is so perfect 😂
Ross is brilliant lol
Every character double act is great! Splitting the party has never been so much fun.
Watching this as I wait on the Campaign 2 new episodes, and this Australian assistant is definitely Hubert’s voice! 😂😂😂
Really Vaughn should have been protestant Church of England, especially if he came from a privileged nobility background in England. The hymn he was singing was also a protestant hymn.
They conflate Anglican and Catholic a lot in the last few episodes which is both incorrect and understandable for the purposes of what they’re using it for imo.
Anglican and Catholicism share a lot after all.
So cool. I’m kicking this off with a group in 2 weeks. Love how everyone has really leaned into their characters. Would love this to get the critical role animated series treatment.
Some dodgy decisions instead of bolting oh no ........ another good episode cheers.....
Was that Carter or Rob or both being totally freaked out? :)
TROY?!? That Australian accent was not at all bad! Meanwhile, The Mad Vaughn had me thinking how I need to calm the hell down when I fall in love with these characters in a friggin Call of Cuthulu game! It's just so hard to watch them mentally descend! Especially when there's been such great life and solid characterization put into the PC by the players! I think, it'd be like watching ANY friend of ours have an actual psychotic break!
In character conversation about "nuking" the site, in the 20s(?) Chaos indeed, love these eps.
I love this show so much!
Thanks!
Ross is a power house.
Stop being so curious. Fairuz and Vaughn are gonna get them killed in season 2
I hate summer that fuckin heat. Fall winter spring are great
wonderful, you are all so entertaining. Thank you!
i LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND
Don't worry about the gala expenses; $4,000 is a mere $80,000 in today's money. The rate is roughly 20 to 1 for easy math.
Impressed you know Dobson.
Man, Vaughn snapping in this episode was chilling! Maybe its just having grown up Catholic but man some of that shit he was saying made my blood run cold. Spooky stuff!
Alright, I've been on hold for months, GCP needs to hire some more call takers...
Just because it will cause Troy psychic pain, Summer is the best. I love the Beach, the Pool, Mai Tais and Mike's Hard Lemonade. Watermelon and Pineapple, barbecue going. Nothing beats it. Winter is cold dingy bleh weather.
Great episode again!
Just for future reference WeeGee would develop and Print photos in the trunk of his car so not so hard to do. also 35mm was not a thing yet so all negs were medium to large format so you could contact print no enlarger needed 120 was the most popular. there was 35mm but that did not really surpass 120 till the 60's most Kodak box cameras were 120 news and art were usually done with twinlense reflex cameras and view cameras like a graphex. the graphex being popular for news because the negative was 4x5 so it could be quickly printed as a contact print with high detail
I'm very early, but I wonder is it Noura or her character who wants everyone to go insane/die? 😂
Winters suck so much! Yule is not a bright enough moment to overcome the depressing long darkness, slush, and bitter cold. And the power bills become dreadful. :( By February I am nearly screaming for the return of summer! No matter the season, GCN is my jam. Love this series!
I love summer because of phish Summer tour and Music festival season. I also get to watch my garden grow. But I love nothing more then a good snow storm.
Snow storms are great, but Phish's Meatstick from July 30th this year was magical!
@@TheGlassCannon omg a phan! ♥️ I do love a good meat stick. One of my favs was at IT in 2003 loved going to limestone. Glad to know there's some Phish love in the GCN. I actually know another phan that works with the GCN merch account. He's a tour buddy of mine. We had a blast in Atlantic City at Phish. I know the GCN loves AC they should go in August when Phish plays on the beach next. It's a blast. Almost as fun as their Vegas Halloween shows. In fact going to be seeing Trey this week here in MA for TAB/Goose. Not sure how I feel about Goose just yet. Not sure if you know other jam bands we camped with dogs in a pile at the Bethal run this year. There's really amazing people. Dopapod is from my area of the woods they are really good. Worth a listen.
Onward down the spiral of insanity, where as the closer we get to the center the quicker we met the end.
im with kate i hate the light and summer,my wife and kids say im a vampire lol
Comment for the algorithm gods!
so I once heard that people who love the fall season are alos people who tend to live in the past
The only reasons I like Summer are my birthday and pool swimming. That’s all. I hate how hot it gets and how the sun DOES actively try to kill you every day. Speaking as a pale AF person with Irish, Polish, Norwayish, etc that area genetics and the sun is horrible. Can’t stand outside for even 15 minutes without starting to burn!
Fall is much better. Halloween, cooling temperatures (usually), the leaves change, the spooky atmosphere of October, the pumpkin foods, I like all that.
I HATE Winter cuz my arthritis flares up when it’s too cold outside and my bones just ache constantly the entire season. Christmas is a redeeming quality but not enough to like Winter any smidgen more than that.
Spring starts up the allergies with the flowers blooming, the grass growing, the moss on the trees, I am allergic to everything outside that grows during this time. Give me a mid 70 degree day with slight wind and partly cloudy, that’s the kind of days I like.
hasn't changed at all since 1925 little slower cause chemicals were rudimentary but its still done the same. the light can be turned on after the film is put in the developing tank because its sealed from light
Whssh
One of the things I really like about this group is they obviously think about the previous episodes / portions of the adventure and have these remembrances from Peru Etc that Lincoln to their current horrific experiences.
Something that you might pay attention to is doing a little research on your character's primary equipment. In particular the photographer the artist. Fairuz should absolutely have in her possession bottles of the necessary chemistry for developing photography. She would first need to develop the negatives that's one set of chemicals. Then she would need to develop the photographs and that does require a projector lamp. This could be an apparatus erected in the corner of a bathroom. The bathrooms at the Waldorf would be sumptuous. But the enlarger would have a downward projecting lamp and lens. You would need a clear surface and most photographers worth their salt would have an 8x10 pallet marked off perhaps with cardboard tape down at the edges to be able to perfectly line up a sheet of photo paper so that the image would print directly on the paper. Before the paper is is printed on the photographer places the negative in a frame that slides in behind the lens the light shines through it and the lens projected projects it on the surface below. The lenses adjusted to bring the image into Focus and usually a loop is used to see if the image is sharp and clear. Then the lamp is turned off the red light is turned off and the photographer places the photo paper image side up onto his his cardboard framed form where he just projected the image and then turns the lamp on for the prescribed number of seconds to successfully embed the image into the paper. The paper is thin tucked into a box and covered while the next picture is set up and projected. Once this stage is done and red light the photographer then sets up a series of plastic trays or trades made to accommodate the chemistry and the photos go into the developing solution and then there is a second solution that pauses the process and then a rent solution which is basically just water. Then on a line that has been already strong and with some basic Clips even close pins the photos are hung to dry. And once they are dry they can be handled freely. The process would take some hours but many many artists and especially photojournalists would have this equipment or at least know how to use it. You can never in the field rely on the availability of a photo processing lab. A police station might have a photo processing lab. They would need to do their work in house if possible anyway newspapers will have a photo processing lab. Local photographers would have a little photo processing lab. But the nature of fairuz photographs at this point are such that you wouldn't want any questions asked by anyone who happened to see what you're working on if you borrowed their lab or by someone developing the pictures for you. So this is a long campaign if there is does not have in her possession and her gear a smallish crate which holds all the implements for printing photo processing and developing then these items should be acquired. A small jaunt through your Call of Cthulhu investigator supplies should make it easy to make this list if not then Google is your friend. And if you're really stuck, I know all these things from personal experience of assisting my grandfather who was a professional photographer from the twenties forward:-) he's gone now but I remember a lot of what we did in the lab and a lot of that really hasn't changed. The the developing is now largely done by machines which carry long rolls of a photo paper for weddings or Sports pictures or things like that the paper is put on a roller which feeds it into the developer of which carries the paper through the developing and Rent Solutions and then under a dryer at the very end of the machine and collected on another roll. Then are placed on the cut table to be separated and retouched. But for what you need let me recommend that you go on RUclips and find the one and only season of Kolchak the Night Stalker from the '70s. And you might want to watch through The Omen also from the '70s. There's a great scene when the photographer / reporter is in his dark room developing the pictures of Bokehaven's wall.
That is a setup that you will see and movies as far back as you can watch movies. It will not be that much different from what would be available in the 1920s.
Like i'm /not/ here for the casual doomsaying
YES
Perhaps it's just me but I'd really like Margot to ditch the way-too-american sawed-off shotgun, grab a black leather trenchcoat and a Luger and go for the full German secret-police vibe.
A fantastic series with great characters. Totally hooked.
I also cannot stand Summer. It is hot, it is bright, there are no nights, there are people everywhere. Horrible, even without the pollen.
Don't forget to ring a Cowles!
Word! If you're cold you can put more clothes on, if you're too hot there ain't a lot you can, especially in a country with no AC!
@@Bovrillor Yep, no AC & brick buildings in Summer are a combination made in hell.
@@nightcatarts You know what, I think we've had this conversation before over on Eurogamer 😂 Only just clocked the name! And man, it was 40c degrees in my office & bedroom for a full week during the heatwave, day and night. Trying to sleep in that was the real eldritch horror!
@@Bovrillor Yep, and oof 40 is far too much for me. I don't recall how hot my place got now since it cooked my brain, but I've never been more glad I decided to buy a little AC unit.
mmm thats some tasty Chakota
Am I wrong for thinking that Vaughn is queer coded? The way he talks about his dead companion, it is almost as if they were a little more than friends in those trenches.
Especially after how he interacted with him in the apartment complex last episode.
Not the only one who got those vibes.
I try to hold open space for platonic male friendships in fiction (that are actually emotionally intimate without being sexual or romantic) without being queer and despite trying specifically to hold that in mind, Mr. V Villiers seemed a little lovestruck.
But perhaps not. Or Maybe it was unrequited, and that’s why he can’t get over Oberon.
oh he's definitely gay
just this episode:"hold him in my arms again", and then there's the way he acts at the Carlisle party later and some things from the just released season 2
Do you really don't need a list of chemicals. You're only actually looking for a list of commonly found products for photographers.suied
