And also, knowing almost everyone in the city. Like Lewis's character Ameebo in the Star Wars Yogsquest, who just happens to know almost everyone they meet. As much as an ass pull it was, Tom playing along with it cause Lewis succeeded his dice roll.
The showing of the cursed movie in the church, just Tom describing how there are pages and pages of _Des Vermis Mysteriis_ slowly turning while interspliced with... *_Something_* slowly turning it's head. No description, just... A creature. Just... _Chef's kiss._
I absolutely love that Tom B and Harry basically just created their own cursed object and proceeded to show it to a priest in a dilapidated church. Absolutley love the horror shenanigans
I absolutely love the way Lewis roleplays! It’s so funny to me every time he announces that he has some new thing like “I grab my elephant gun” and just rambles along with it
The image of the crew hanging the projection sheet by the nails of Jesus on the cross, looking down at a film projection of eldritch horror is just peak
53:24 Awww great memory Ravs. I almost wish Tom would'a GM'd a bonus there. Like giving him +3 luck or something for good karma. Not to abuse or whatev, but that moment was so pure lol
Sanity refill IMO. Not like MQ really goes hard into sanity (the only one where sanity was a real issue was Forget me not I think) but this feels like an action that would either increase or refill sanity. Just a show of basic human decency (also great roleplay should always be rewarded)
I love how when the camera is facing Lewis he looks so youthful, but when the camera captures him on an angle when he has his head tilted down busy writing, he looks 40 years older until he looks back up. 😅
Tom is genuinely such a fun storyteller. Without him these series would be so much less enjoyable. I love how he takes the games so seriously and allows the guests to get weird with it. Leads to such fun moments
I love that they've created this nightmare cursed film?!?! That might have a demon in it?!?! Wooooboy and they show it to a priest?!?!? Incredible energy, incredible!
The sound design really enhanced Barry's reading. I listen to these thru headphones and MAN shit like this hits juuust right. Great spooky Cthulu tingles.
I am greatly enjoying this adventure, of three people advanced in age and one very ill advised film making young man! Looking forward to the elephant gun, it's ridiculous and yet perfectly fitting!
Correct me if im wrong, but there is an actual Call of Cthulhu adventure that is about a cursed vinyl record, where the curse was transferred to it when someone read an ancient book out loud. I could be confusing it with a horror short story instead. I think there was also a bit where it took place in the 80's, and a cursed cassette tape was made from recording the vinyl record? I liked the idea of curses being accidentally transfered across mediums/media.
Another great episode! I just ran this campaign for my family as an intro to Call of Cthulhu and it's really interesting to see which parts you interpret differently than I did, and which parts played out almost the same!
I really want to see how the film ends, gave me super goosebumps and terrified as if something was standing right behind me. Amazingly described by Tom and I love the chaos of the gang trying to keep watching.
You know, a short animation showing the contents of Archie's tape would be a pretty good promo for shorts. And as a Nigel and Marmelade member I have an idea who would be the perfect candidate for making such a short animated imagery true. He used to be an editor 'round these parts but by now we do not even speak his name. We have Oscar now. And Oscar does a great job. Also love the watch Ravs is wearing. If by a long shot someone knows what they are, I'd like to check them out.
@VanBourner Ravs actually talks about his watch in one of the main channel's members only videos titled "We share our favourite things". He said it's a Hideo Kojima x NASA x ANICORN watch - you can find more info about it if you google it :)
This is my third MQ series I’ve listened to. Utterly epic American accent attempts here, LOL, you are all legends! Great humor, great tension, all the hallmarks of a great Mystery Quest.
The cursed film is so good and fits so seamlessly you could think it was thought of ahead of time and not come up with organizing the spot. Great role playing from everyone!
Harry is always great in these, he's hilarious and knows how to drive the plot forward. Also I don't think they noticed but the previous owner was said to have moved to Boston, where Merryweather was warned to stay away from with no reason. The townsfolk are definitely involved!
The Call was quiet at first, and now that it has dragged me to the end, I realize it's existence. I find myself on a Mystery Quest, and at the last episode released, having enjoyed all the others at leisure, slowly coming to look upon the horror of having to Wait. A few days, for now. Yet - after that... I must have patience.
This has now become one of my favourite roleplay channels. on a sidenote, first time I see the intro by Tom, I thought it was a bit weird. But each time I watch a new one, I enjoy them more and more. Now I love them.
This is the first time you're running a Call of Cthulu adventure I've personally run. It's super interesting hearing all the different approaches you're taking, and I'm very excited for the post-game behind the scenes peek. Also, Harry and Tommy B accidentally creating their own "Cursed Movie" is so good and I hope "There's a lost Archie Van Der Holt movie that drives anyone who sees it insane" becomes Canon
I'm loving this campaign so far! I always really appreciate call of Cthulhu as a system for it's unintentional story-telling, everyone failing the psychology roll on the priest really creates so much atmosphere, the unknown is so compelling! Was he possessed? Did he recognise the creature? Or was it just a check to tell us how damn scared he was? Amazing dm-ing as always Tom!
I first started listening to Mystery Quest only a week ago and I've about binged all of it now - major kudos for Tom for making each adventure so much fun!!
Really been enjoying Mystery Quest, especially the Call of Cthulu runs! I recently joined a one shot of the game at a local board game cafe and had a blast! I played Viktor an artiste.. some say he is still painting those creatures eyes to this very day. Had a funny moment where my character and another looked at these horrifying paintings and I crit success and they crit failed so I gained sanity and inspiration and they lost sanity.
I love them for just pouring their own sanity down the drain by insisting on rewatching the tape. They'll have barely any left once the real fun starts
Woo! this series is going great! I really can't get enough of this channel, I've been watching High Rollers for over a year now, and I'm glad this channel is also a thing. Keep it up!
I'm loving this mate, also when is our next space setting? The Mothership storyline was amazing and some of the best content I've watched on RUclips for was while.
Mystery Quest remains the best content to come out of any Yog-related creator in a long long time.
The Apocalypse Players has entered the chat
Kebab chefs (hatfilms) and abiotic (hatfilms and duncan) are great aswell, long term series TTT is good aswell ^^
@@hccdgvvfccdgn993 Are there yogs in Apocalypse Players?
Games Night islreally good tho
@@Ali-ey9sz no but there’s some really good campaigns if you want lots more Cthulhu madness, I’d recommend highway of blood :)
It's good to see Lewis continuing the tradition of telling Tom he has a ridiculously powerful item without Tom's prior knowledge
Also the tradition of Yogscast Call of Cthulhu, where the old pompous guy has an elephant gun
And also, it making so much sense that Tom really can't say no.

The poor priest did not deserve that level of trauma, but loving the cursed film!
jfc that film was terrifying
This is probably my current favorite show on RUclips. Everyone is so charismatic and I love the character continuity.

I like all your content, but Call of Cthulhu is just...*chef's kiss*
I absolutely love that Tom B and Harry basically just created their own cursed object and proceeded to show it to a priest in a dilapidated church. Absolutley love the horror shenanigans
Creepy space intro is creepy.
Good job!
*This is a comment, for the Angorythm.*
Loved the intro, hope we can get another grungy 80s sci-fi movie-esque game like Haunting of Ypsilon 14
It was great, and I always love the "brought the spooky shape shifter/doppelganger back by mistake" trope.
@@HeliosAlphayes and the same way we get returning characters for CoC I'd love if we get those -remaining- characters back
I'm so happy Tom is doing this channel. I hope he'll do it for many more months to come
Years*
It seems to be his passion project, so hopefully it works out for him.
@@swearimnotarobot3746 It mostly is, according to stuff he's said in the Members Q&A's
Four more years!
That cursed film tape is already such a great part of the story
I absolutely love the way Lewis roleplays! It’s so funny to me every time he announces that he has some new thing like “I grab my elephant gun” and just rambles along with it
The image of the crew hanging the projection sheet by the nails of Jesus on the cross, looking down at a film projection of eldritch horror is just peak
I know Archie’s career has been tough but just wait until he directs and stars in his own hit film: Nigel and marmalade

That intro was the most compelling one yet. I need to know what happened to Jimmy Morgans!
Jimmy Morgans more like Jimmy No-more-organs
Probably trapped on a derelict space station forever 😢
@@svenrio8521 Thank goodness for space uber
He had to go on the run, changing his name to Jimmy Space
I love how when the camera is facing Lewis he looks so youthful, but when the camera captures him on an angle when he has his head tilted down busy writing, he looks 40 years older until he looks back up. 😅
I LOVE that Tom B made a video of the book and how it's evolved into an eldrich piece of horror.
Tom is genuinely such a fun storyteller. Without him these series would be so much less enjoyable. I love how he takes the games so seriously and allows the guests to get weird with it. Leads to such fun moments
The intro, the elephant gun, the film and the priest. Great episode
I love that they've created this nightmare cursed film?!?! That might have a demon in it?!?! Wooooboy and they show it to a priest?!?!? Incredible energy, incredible!
Oooh its really getting creepy. The evil film is so so good
The sound design really enhanced Barry's reading. I listen to these thru headphones and MAN shit like this hits juuust right. Great spooky Cthulu tingles.
Tom's laugh at 45:15 really lets you know fun things are about to go down
I am greatly enjoying this adventure, of three people advanced in age and one very ill advised film making young man! Looking forward to the elephant gun, it's ridiculous and yet perfectly fitting!
Only one episode a week is painful, but God do I love Mystery Quest! Thank you Tom and the amazing editor(s)!
Did not expect to enjoy Lewis's Major character as much as I am, absolutely hilarious.
The openers to these leave me so intrigued to see possible future campaign settings!
Quickly shaping up to be my favorite Call of Cthulhu campaign on this channel
Absolute peak yogs RP, tyvm Tom for giving us these gems

Love this series so far, the added sound effects for ambience really help build an eerie feeling
This is my third MQ series I’ve listened to. Utterly epic American accent attempts here, LOL, you are all legends! Great humor, great tension, all the hallmarks of a great Mystery Quest.
The best intro yet! Gripping stuff.
Loving this campaign. Great characters, really spooky and the cursed film bit is golden.
The cursed film is so good and fits so seamlessly you could think it was thought of ahead of time and not come up with organizing the spot. Great role playing from everyone!
Lewis is just so good at the little things as a Roleplayer. Tom has been great as well at adapting to the party's whims!
Harry is always great in these, he's hilarious and knows how to drive the plot forward. Also I don't think they noticed but the previous owner was said to have moved to Boston, where Merryweather was warned to stay away from with no reason. The townsfolk are definitely involved!
Very good pacing, and loved the artifice by which the players confederated the poor Reverend into feeling the Insanity... Top show Tom & Co

The music and atmosphes are so good, most immersive campaign to date
Mystery Quest is the best. I've loved all the series so far. All guests on the show have been amazing. Keep it up!
Absolutely loving this series! Call of Cthulhu scratches an itch and I genuinely felt scared when the group started watching the film back!
This has now become one of my favourite roleplay channels. on a sidenote, first time I see the intro by Tom, I thought it was a bit weird. But each time I watch a new one, I enjoy them more and more. Now I love them.
Always makes my Friday knowing there’s a new role play session to watch! :)

Absolutely loving this campaign so far, nothing screans the ocult more than desolate buildings and library's.
26:40 tom saying "omg ur little soldiers out" has me dying 😂😂😂
Mystery Quest and Games night are some of the best stuff on youtube right now
Tom B and Harry trying so hard to drive that poor priest insane with their cursed film absolutely killed me lol
I LOVE MYSTERY QUEST. ESPECIALLY CALL OF CTHULHU. THESE RETURNING CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING
Ran this module with my group a few months back. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out!
I listened to this while doing the night shift. Walking around in the darkness in a field at 3am listening to this honestly was creepy. Love It.
i love mystery quest with tom as a dm so god damn much its so good. great quality please keep it up
Thank you Tom and all, going to listen to this on Monday while I work. You guys are a lifesaver 💗💕
Damn, was so engrossed in the story I was surprised it ended and had to check the video wasn't actually just 10 mins long. Absolutely flew past.
Elephant guns are terrifying 😳 and even unarmed elephants are scary as hell 🤪
the audio is very will done, props to the editor!
I love Mystery Quest! Arguably one of my favourite Yogscast channel!
I first started listening to Mystery Quest only a week ago and I've about binged all of it now - major kudos for Tom for making each adventure so much fun!!
That opening...was sincerely chilling.
Love all of the Call of Cthulhu adventures, please Tom dont stop. Also spoopy film was terrifying, keep it up!
Can I just say that the sound editing on these videos is on another level 👏
I'll be running this adventure on Sunday, my first time as a Keeper of Arcane Lore :)
A Mystery Quest? Always a wonderful addition to my day!
That poor priest xD
Really been enjoying Mystery Quest, especially the Call of Cthulu runs! I recently joined a one shot of the game at a local board game cafe and had a blast! I played Viktor an artiste.. some say he is still painting those creatures eyes to this very day. Had a funny moment where my character and another looked at these horrifying paintings and I crit success and they crit failed so I gained sanity and inspiration and they lost sanity.
The suspense is awesome! Always enjoy the Cthulu sessions
mmm, the blood that pours from my ears when ever Harry tries to speak in the stereotypical 1930's announcer voice
Freaking hilarious. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. More please. And if they can survive bring these characters along. 😂😂
Highlight of my week to watch! It's been especially helpful today. Thank you for making content.
The scene in the church was everything I hoped for.
I love them for just pouring their own sanity down the drain by insisting on rewatching the tape. They'll have barely any left once the real fun starts
Loving this series so far! Listened to the podcast last week, definitely more fun with visuals :)
Loving this Mystery Quest! It's become a weekly treat to get cosy and listen to the latest episode. ☺
Mystery time babyyyyyyyy
I love that cursed film, I hope it keeps coming up.
loving this!! very very cool. i cant believe they genuinely did that to that poor priest
Got a lovely backlog of these to go through, and Call of Cthulhu is great as always!
Woo! this series is going great! I really can't get enough of this channel, I've been watching High Rollers for over a year now, and I'm glad this channel is also a thing. Keep it up!
Shopping for backpacks and Doritos 😂. I also appreciate that a Willie hasn’t forgotten running out of petrol in Saturnine Chalice!
Quality work, Tom Bates is a great addition.
Would love to see animated best bits of Mystery Quest episodes
In the process of trying to banish one entity from the beyond they inadvertently may have unleashed another, classic Cthulhu
I really hope we get another modern day Call of Cthulhu centered around that film.
Lovely mystery quest.
I love Call of Cthulhu, and this crew is amazing! More!
Just made my dinner, and what a perfect video to watch!
I love Tom, I love games, I love Mystery Quest!! Please keep going!
I AM enjoying it Tom, thanks for asking
Been looking forward to this all day!
I adore your videos and love call of cthulhu the most!
The cursed film is soo good
I'm loving this mate, also when is our next space setting? The Mothership storyline was amazing and some of the best content I've watched on RUclips for was while.
I cant get enough of these
Another great ep! Loving this one so far. I've been thinking of running this one and great to see how it's done!
