My sessions tend tend to cap out at around 5-6 hours, and that’s purely because one of our players is 6 hours ahead of us, so if we were all in the same time zone, I could easily see us going for 8-9 hour sessions.
So, I played this game called COPS which took place in the 80's California. Party played a chemist cop, a seasoned police lieutenant, a rich boy ex-medicine-faculty-student cop, and a forensics cop (iirc). It was fun! We rode all over LA in a black Lamborghini, interviewed people, managed not to start a shootout with some ghetto gangsters and apprehended the suspect when we divided up and surrounded his house. After the game, GM told us most of his players usually made min-maxed combat characters and solved everything with police brutality. Us four noobs creating a diverse bunch of specialists not really geared for SWAT operations has made things really fun for the GM, and I could see that in retrospect. So yes, there are other ways to play RPGs than DnD.
The production quality and the fact that you have the entire series road-mapped is amazing! I was wondering why you hadn't uploaded in a while and it turns out you were doing the work of an entire animation studio lol. I've always been fascinated by player stories from CoC and this video series might help me finally make the dive
Don’t Stop Thinking, your channel got me to start playing dnd, and dammit it looks like it’s getting me to play Call of Cthulhu too. Keep up the great work
Man... you are awesome... here in Argentina TRPG are not that popular, and knowing how to play it really helps to get people to play... i really apreciate your vids mate... plz keep going ❤️

I say often there are many many kinds of RPGs which were published in English. This site presents 60 current RPGs in every kind of setting: www.unpossiblejourneys.com
I’m a big fan of the combat. It’s way higher stakes, so even though you won’t be fighting often, when you do it’s very intense. I like the fighting back option, it makes everything faster and more exciting. Whenever a gun is drawn, everyone goes caveman spongebob on me, lol
If you're looking for D&D style combat mechanics, you'll be disappointed. It's very mechanic-lite compared. I found it easier to GM. You'll be using your non-combat skills most of the time. CJ isn't lying about Library Use saving the day--or the world, it depends. Most of the time you'll be investigating localized threats and eerie happenings. CoC's combat is few and far between, and you'll spend most of your time investigating and dealing with mythos threats indirectly; but there are times where you'll have to bring out the guns. A lot of times you'll have to run away. It's fun to watch players go from "Hah, I can handle this" to "I need more guns, what's the most powerful gun I can buy?" or even "I'd like to buy some dynamite and also somehow acquire alcohol (during the Prohibition no less) to make molotov cocktails." I had one player's character go from complete pacifist to wielding a baseball bat within a a couple of scenarios, and after the last scenario she considered picking up guns.
@@Atamosk-bu7zt There's a starter PDF available online for free that contains a good beginner scenario for first time keepers. It's called The Haunting and introduces everyone, including players, to the basics. It emphasizes following up clues and figuring out what happened to the thing they're investigating, and has a combat encounter to top it all off. Investigation and character interaction is key. If the characters are talking and investigating and stuff, don't try to force them to get on track UNLESS they're going to get way off track or they're taking far too long to get back to it. In that case you can give them a nudge in the right direction. In the same vein, sometimes they may run into a dead end when investigating clues. In that case it's okay to call for an intelligence check for everyone, so you can have one character have a small epiphany (not giving everything away, but just something like "you have x piece of evidence, you have a feeling that if you follow that up you can uncover more") Combat situations should be present but also few and far between. It's not a game like D&D where you'll be running them through dungeons will multiple encounters. Players can't win by killing everyone, they have to use their smarts more often than not. But there will be situations where they WILL have to fight. If you're running a module you don't NEED to stick to the rules to the letter, sometimes bending or even breaking the rules to keep things fun/scary or at a good pace is worth it. Sometimes tweaking monster behaviour or personality can make things more exciting, and don't be afraid to come up with something on the fly to surprise the players; just keep it within the tone/theme/context of the scenario.
I would love if you explained other popular rpgs like traveller, starfinder, pathfinder, deadlands, and mutants and masterminds. You explain the games so well and it feels like I’m taking in all the info not having just go in one ear and out the other
"Fire solves everything" is a bit funny for me, as that was literally the solution of my first session. We were playing The Haunted House (my keeper preferred early rule editions) and couldn't find Corbitt. And the landlord had just said that we needed to make sure nobody got hurt there again...... He did NOT agree with our solution, saying rubbish like "how am I gonna rent out a pile of rubble?" Now I'm gonna be running Three Haunting myself, gm'ing for the first time ever! 7th edition though
At 10:09 there is a simplification that can be made (that does not have so many special cases). If you want to roll d100 (meaning from 1 to 100) then the easiest way is to say that the "tens" dice goes from 0 to 90 and the "ones" dice goes from 1 to 10. This means that 80 and 0 would be 90. It takes a bit to get used to it but then there are no special rules. Some examples. 00 & 1 = 1 00 & 0 = 10 20 & 1 = 21 80 & 0 = 90 90 & 0 = 100 50 & 7 = 57 etc. This way the dice roll is always from 1 to 100 and more importantly, every number is represented once and only once! Hope this helps someone!
ALL RIGHT! The link to the *free Call of Cthulhu 7th-edition Quickstart Rules* is in the video information above. Call of Cthulhu uses the Basic RolePlaying rules system by Chaosium, Inc. and that is my favourite kind of rules system. You roll percentiles for actions, and so you always see the odds in front of you. It matters if you make especially low or especially high rolls; there are degrees of success. Characters and monsters have the same kinds of numerical stats. Characters can't appreciably change physically or mentally, but they improve their skills after each session, if a skill was used in a dangerous or life-threatening situation. You must roll OVER your current skill % value, and if you do, you will improve your % by a few points. It is easy in the beginning but harder and harder to improve as you get more expert.
This video has hands down the best explanation of dice types that I've ever seen. Whenever I get a new TTRPG player in the group, you can bet I'll send them here, just to look at the dice explanation, even if we'll be playing different system than Call of Cthulhu.
I have come back to watch this since I am going to be running Call of Cthulhu for new players. This is hands down the best guide to playing any RPG system I have ever seen. Having a Story while you explain the rules is genius. I would want any guide for a future system to be produced this way.
Hey CJ, thanks for this series. Been wanting to learn about CoC, looking forward to all future videos. Thank you for your Moloch adventure. At the end of the adventure the talisman became a focal point. Alot of question about it. So much so that I had to make a stat block for it, ( I had a blast making it). There is a lil mistake by WoTC Crassus should have 4 cantrips. I gave Crassus word of radiance. Thanks again CJ and I really missed you bro. That was to long of a break. Later CJ & have a great day.
Oh wow, this is amazing production quality! I am going to run a Call of Cthulhu game next week as a beginner Keeper and stumbled across your playlist while scrolling through my RUclips recommendations. I suppose the eldritch forces really wanted me to portray them as best as I can haha! Thank you for the videos :)
I really miss videos like these. It really got me into ttrpgs in my 30s. I hope he makes more videos like before. The emergent and enthusing in the videos is great let alone the art used.
Awesome as always CJ. I found your channel 2 years ago and you taught me and my friends how to play D&D! We're now on our third 5E campaign thanks to you and after this video, it looks like Call of Cthulu will be next!
Yo, this guide is absolutely amazing. I have always struggled with Call of Cthulhu, and you made me understand so much thanks to your illustrations and examples. Bravo dude.
Hello, I've come back here to tell that I recently bought the core rule book and I'll be doing a one shot soon. It don't think I would have venture to try it had it not been for this series so kudos on your good work. It's both informative and entertaining.
Hey, CJ, you created these really interesting and cool characters so that we get attached to them and then see how they're slowly consumed by madnes??!!
You where one of the people who first got me into DnD and Tabletop. Thank you for continuing to create infortive content that helps people get into the hobby many thanks and appreciation. 👏
Man, this video series is so cool! I’ve wanted to check out CoC for the longest time, but just last week I got Cyberpunk 2020, and learning that has been a massive chore!
I was like that two, but it's a sunk cost fallacy. All the money and time you spend on dnd makes you not wanna try new stuff. There are plenty of cheap or free rules light system out there though. I recommend trying something new from time to time. It can be a breath of fresh air to play as something different than a uber powerful adventurer who kills stuff.
@@flaggschiffen if youre just looking for an occasional break from your regular game, Chaosium's website has a free quickstart rules version of 7ed CoC, with an introductory adventure. There are also several free adventures available, many were originally tournament one shots or free game day releases, so they are designed for players new to CoC. You can give it a try and take a break from your current game with 0 cost.
I am a DM for DnD and have been looking at other systems to try out. I have a group willing to try out different systems and this was one of the systems suggested. I'm planning on watching this series so I can learn how to be a Keeper and give my players a fun experience
Would you be interested in making a video comparing D&D to CoC? I'm interested in the reasons for the differences between them and what insight that would give for coming up with new mechanics for either game
This guide is pretty helpful! Me and my boyfriend are planning on getting started by playing CoC since we both enjoy mysteries, I'm pretty curious and he loves thrillers 💕
I LOVE and was amazed by how easy this was to learn from the starter box! :O A choose your own adventure before you read the rules?! No idea why D&D hasn't done this! Thanks for the video! I started for clarification on combat and now I'm going through them all! :D
Dude! I wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting me interested and giving me a better understanding of the games system, to that I say thank you :)
I watched Seths videos to learn, and then I ran like 6 sessions, and they were great videos. I love these videos just as much and am so glad I found them! Subscribed!
Already know how to play but I subscribed because this was incredibly well put together and I always appreciate time stamps. I look foreword to viewing more of these.
Actually I use them in my games. Occasionally I will set up a wild party or event for the players. Depending on how they play their character at the party and how much they cut loose and live the moment, they will be allowed s D12 roll to recover sanity.
Really? I once gave my players medieval weaponry to fight some cultists and since some weapons weren't covered by CoC weapon chart i used dnd weapon chart (and added +1 to every slashing and piercing weapon damage)
Thank you for your videos, especially for considering the people who played none TRPGs like myself. In Ukraine TRPG aren't too popular and we don't have localizations of them. I'd like to learn basics of DnD and CoC, in order to choose or develop a system to use for creating and managing relatively my unique game world for a TRPG. And I prefer mystery over combat so your videos about CoC are helpful.
I'm really looking forward to playing CoC. I only wish there where models involved. Painting my character model is one of the things I really enjoy about D&D.
I’m going to be running a Pulp Cthulhu based game so I’m learning how to DM this system. I do remember playing CoC in college and my character always had 10 sticks of dynamite and 30 feet of fuse on him. There were countless situations where it was useful, unfortunately my character was always somewhere else when it was most useful.
You should definitely live stream some one shots and play them here! I'd love to watch. About to GM Paper chase for my wife! Thanks for getting me into Call of Cthulhu.

ALL RIGHT! The link to the *free Call of Cthulhu 7th-edition Quickstart Rules* is in the video information above.
Call of Cthulhu uses the Basic RolePlaying rules system by Chaosium, Inc. and that is my favourite kind of rules system. You roll percentiles for actions, and so you always see the odds in front of you. It matters if you make especially low or especially high rolls; there are degrees of success. Characters and monsters have the same kinds of numerical stats. Characters can't appreciably change physically or mentally, but they improve their skills after each session, if a skill was used in a dangerous or life-threatening situation. You must roll OVER your current skill % value, and if you do, you will improve your % by a few points. It is easy in the beginning but harder and harder to improve as you get more expert.

Dude! I wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting me interested and giving me a better understanding of the games system, to that I say thank you :)
I watched Seths videos to learn, and then I ran like 6 sessions, and they were great videos. I love these videos just as much and am so glad I found them! Subscribed!
Already know how to play but I subscribed because this was incredibly well put together and I always appreciate time stamps. I look foreword to viewing more of these.
"head jelly" 😂 this video is fantastic!
Also worth noting, a D12 is never used in Call of Cthulhu.
J. Jonah Jameson as if the D12 needed more places to be useless.
Actually I use them in my games. Occasionally I will set up a wild party or event for the players. Depending on how they play their character at the party and how much they cut loose and live the moment, they will be allowed s D12 roll to recover sanity.
Really? I once gave my players medieval weaponry to fight some cultists and since some weapons weren't covered by CoC weapon chart i used dnd weapon chart (and added +1 to every slashing and piercing weapon damage)
The Investigators are very well drawn! I like the anime style!!
Thank you for your videos, especially for considering the people who played none TRPGs like myself. In Ukraine TRPG aren't too popular and we don't have localizations of them. I'd like to learn basics of DnD and CoC, in order to choose or develop a system to use for creating and managing relatively my unique game world for a TRPG. And I prefer mystery over combat so your videos about CoC are helpful.
Very helpful, man I'm gonna have to watch the rest of these.
Been a fan for a while. I was wondering when you would do CoC. Excellent work. 10/10
lucille is super cute tbh really like how much you amped up the art compared to the d&d videos
rewatching this a day after watching it, YOU ACTUALLY FORESHADOWED SO MUCH LMAOOO
Great video. It was very helpful since I'm a new player. Also, the animations were great. You clearly don't a lot of time on this. Great work.
I'm a d&d geek I'm excited for this series.
I really like your videos CJ. It’s what brought me to both CoC and D&D. And for that I thank you!
I'm really looking forward to playing CoC. I only wish there where models involved. Painting my character model is one of the things I really enjoy about D&D.
If you want models to paint by Arkham horror: Mansion of madness they have great call of Cthulhu models but you'll have to buy the broad game thru.
RAFM Miniatures has CoC figures; Investigators and Mythos creatures.
Using this to prepare for my first session, thanks for putting up the playlist
Excellent intro my man! We are learning to play the system right now. Great timing.
My friends and I are planning a CoC campaign so these videos are really helpful! Thankiuu!!
I’m going to be running a Pulp Cthulhu based game so I’m learning how to DM this system. I do remember playing CoC in college and my character always had 10 sticks of dynamite and 30 feet of fuse on him. There were countless situations where it was useful, unfortunately my character was always somewhere else when it was most useful.
More TTRPG videos! Please! You're the only reason I've never stopped thinking. lol
Nice to see you expanding out into more games
You should definitely live stream some one shots and play them here! I'd love to watch. About to GM Paper chase for my wife! Thanks for getting me into Call of Cthulhu.
This was a really great video! Thank you for the hard work and info! Best advice a vampire has ever given me.
Really amazing animation in this one!
Props dude! Your video quality is amazing!
Thinking about running my family through a home brew scenario inspired by this video! :)
Great vid mate
Great video CJ! Call of Cthulhu is my favorite trpg.
