    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.

    Man, this series is awesome. You might want to remind the players about Pushed rolls since they're burning through their luck pretty fast. I think the most important lesson about them, besides the tangible consequences, is that a failed push roll isn't necessarily failure to complete the task (At the keepers discretion of course.)

It was one of the best roleplaying moment I've seen. And then when he decided that "ok boys, you asked for it" and when shit hit the fan, he causally mentions "Ohhoohh...God...I didn't think you push him,and here we are...". I can totally feel what he went through :D 1:20:35 LoL

    I’d never really thought about this until now, but Troy’s evil GM act seems to be confined to Pathfinder. In these other games, he seems to root for the players rather than trying to kill them. I’m guessing it’s probably because they’re so much more likely to die in CoC, coupled with the fact he’s more of a bastard when he’s playing with his close friends.

      I only watch pathfinder eps occasionally but I have never seen Evil Troy in the 30ish eps I snatched. If you want my 2 cents, the players in this party are playing well in the game and understand how it works, and do not constantly put themselves at death’s door as a joke. The pathfinder party on GCN suffers from enormous skill issue.

That said, I'm even more excited to see the next episode. That cliffhanger was pure dynamite. This series has surpassed all of my expectations so far and I'm pretty sure that it's only gonna continue to improve as the story keeps going. Oh, and for my old and new horror suggestions, I pitch The Shining and Doctor Sleep. Between the brilliance of Kubrick and the utter magic of Mike Flanagan, that's a one-two punch that's tough to beat.

    Most slasher movies are indeed dreck. But meta-horror ABOUT slasher movies can be brilliant (Scream, Cabin in the Woods), and there are a few slasher movies that have interesting back stories behind them (Scarecrows, The Blair Witch Project). If you like arthouse movies, then you should definitely watch Psycho, Midsommar, and either/both version(s) of the Let the Right One In. My favorite horror films, however, tend to be the ones that use horror to make political or social points. For race, the original Night of the Living Dead is a classic for a reason (and Dawn of the Dead's critique of commercialism is also amazing), and Get Out is a modern classic in the same way (Jordan Peele is a freaking genius). Gender is a really interesting element of Midsommar, Ginger Snaps, and The Descent. And there's an obvious gay/trans metaphor going on in Let the Right One In. (Class warfare is a major element of a lot of horror films, but right now I can only think of The People Under the Stairs, which is fine but not top twenty). Bear in mind that horror overlaps with a lot of genres: movies like Jurassic Park (I know), No Country for Old Men, or Alien and Aliens are essentially horror films. So you might like horror already and not know it!
    I'm also very fond of monster movies, but most of them aren't so much scary as they are fun to watch. Still: if you haven't seen the original King Kong or Tremors, do yourself a favor. And finally, not enough people have seen 1957's Curse of the Demon, and it's a damn shame.

    When it comes to horror films, I find the Japanese & Korean ones to be generally vastly superior to the American. At some point it seems like US filmmakers got lazy and just started cramming in jump scares instead of building on the psychological tension. There are exceptions since the '70s, such as Event Horizon or Screamers (but even those are old), but how they managed to strip all the power out of the Rec remake is a prime example of the problem.
