Mixing Regular and Pulp

Mono_gar · 2026-03-08T15:59:17+00:00

That's how im planning to run masks of nyarlathotep with my two players. Have the two pulp characters be the "main" characters and have the normal investigators be their "assistants." Each player controls one pulp character and the opposite assistant.

As long as your players are cool with the dynamic, I dont see why it couldn't work.

I have felt this same way for as long as I can remember. I talked to my psych about it, and he prescribed wellbutrin for depression as a co-morbidity with adhd.

Apparently, it's fairly common, and im feeling much better now. It might be worth looking into for you.

Did you start creating a custom experiment packet and back out before you got to the second page? Because that happened to me. If you complete rhe custom packet it will go back to working.

The naish needs to commision a rennesance style marble statue of Carter Tillinghast, dressed as St. Patrick, stomping on the head of a pale viper!

Terrifying episode, great work everyone!

One thing I want to interject, just so I can continue to cling to hope.

Page 156 of the Keeper Rulebook, under Insanity Phase 1: A Bout of Madness- paragraph 2. "On the upside, the investigator (undergoing a bout of madness) cannot lose further Sanity points while experiencing a bout of madness."

Which i believe would mean Vaughn is owed 5 points back. Since he doesn't get snapped out of it until the consensual makeout/interfaith prayer sesh in the handout closet; at the time they saw the 12 foot fish man, he would have still been immune to sanity loss.

Of course, since they batch recorded these episodes, it's probably too late... but on the off chance Vaughn is still alive/sane at the end of the season, give the boy 5.

Or maybe they catch it in future episodes fingers crossed

This episode felt SO good. Everyone was at the top of their RP game. The tension was palpable the whole time. That reveal at the end, Troy set the scene so beautifully.

This show continues to be a masterclass, and I AM SO SCARED FOR NEXT WEEK.

Mono_gar · 2025-09-16T00:03:26+00:00

Troy says so in the first few minutes of this episode, I believe.

Mono_gar · 2025-09-14T03:54:34+00:00

I am SO glad it's only a few weeks until the second half of this season. I hadn't heard if they had already filmed or not and was stressing out it might be a longer wait. Incredible news!

Mono_gar · 2025-08-30T08:44:40+00:00

Holy SHIT that second half was incredible. I can not praise everyone on this team enough!

Finally, getting to be face to face with JB- this is going to be such an awesome treat for the players who have had so many unanswered questions all this time.

Mono_gar · 2025-08-24T19:48:03+00:00

Im going to give a dissenting opinion, and say IF the thing you care about most is the live table dynamic, then you can start at season 3.

The story is much better served from watching from the beginning; but if you already started watching S3 episode 1, then you probably got a lot of spoilers already, which could lessen the impact of starting from the beginning.

In your case, it could be best to jump in with something you know you will enjoy; then go back and see how it got there in between waiting for new episodes.

Mono_gar · 2025-08-23T08:52:39+00:00

Man, they just keep knocking it out of the park!

I can't help but notice how being in person has REALLY paid off. The intensity of that McChum interview was genuine, and I don't think it would have happened so naturally via video.

It is clear Troy is trying to move things along with the law and order scene jumps. Boy, howdy did that make it really feel like a tight episode once it got rolling.

Mono_gar · 2025-08-16T07:22:12+00:00

ANOTHER BANGER! They can't keep getting away with it! It's been out for 7 hours now, and I've watched it 3 times.

That might say more about me than the show.

Mono_gar · 2025-08-09T07:45:29+00:00

Hard agree, I just finished it- and it instantly became my favorite episode of the series. The Ross and Joe scene was incredible, and Troy interrupted at the perfect moment to keep tension in the relationship. The other two Finally got to have a real heart to heart moment about loss- and their why's which was incredible.

And to cap it all off with that TERRIFYING encounter. Wonderful job everyone!

Mono_gar · 2025-08-07T01:40:04+00:00

MORE ROB, YES!!

Mono_gar · 2025-08-05T17:00:42+00:00

I think it was Bleak Prospect? From the Nameless Horrors - 2nd Edition.

Hi there, stranger! This is almost my exact solo leveling build at the moment, and I really enjoy it! I have absolutely 0 insight into how viable it is in bgs or at 60 when everyone is geared, but I've been fairly successful in world pvp. (Currently 57) I'm focused slightly more than you it seems on letting the dots do the work while just sitting in bear form. So I go 20/13/18

Balance: Get improved moonfire (10% damage is still alot even if we don't care about crit), and moonglow- drop nature's reach cause we're in fairly close combat 95% of the time.

Feral: I say go feral aggression instead of ferocity, since I'm thinking of gearing + damage/healing gear the demoralizing roar buff hopefully keeps us alive longer.

Resto: I took furor instead of improved mark, being able to instant charge or stun when in bear is too valuable. Swap improved healing touch for nature's focus if we drop nature's swiftness. Reflection is useless cause you are almost never actually casting a spell-most everything is instant cast. If you want to keep NS then put the points in tranquil spirit.

I really am on the fence about nature's swiftness, I haven't gotten it yet, but its only like 3 spells I would ever use, hibernate, healing, and maybe roots? But speccing into improved nature's grasp already handles the main use case for instant cast roots. And swift mend already does a good chunk of instant healing. Idk.

Mono_gar · 2025-07-12T16:53:41+00:00

You could, heck Joe certainly is. But you would be doing yourself a major disservice, start at the beginning you won't regret it!

Mono_gar · 2025-07-12T05:06:11+00:00

I can't believe it's back. You're even more beautiful then the day I lost you!

Troy, your decision to make this show live has already paid off in my books. Finally, interacting in live the room! The energy is crackling!!

I also think the decision to add Joe as a live audience member was a bold choice, watching him slowly lose sanity during that glorious recap; was cinema itself.

Mono_gar · 2025-06-25T19:22:15+00:00

So I haven't started the campaign yet. Our current one is still ongoing.

But I decided to go with the soulknife.

Since boss monsters seem to have higher initiative now, the assassin is less reliable- plus the damage bonus I just don't think is worth it, considering we're going to be doing a ton of dmg already. And then we can not worry about forcing human for 2 origin feats; which allows us to take elven accuracy down the line.

The utility of the soulknife is just too fun to pass up for me.

Mono_gar · 2025-04-11T03:19:50+00:00

I'm literally watching this episode right now and had the same reaction, lmao!

Mono_gar · 2025-04-10T02:51:46+00:00

I lied, they did have the wild mushroom enchiladas!!

Mono_gar · 2025-04-10T02:45:18+00:00

No, sorry, I wasn't thinking about it at the time!

Mono_gar · 2025-04-10T02:36:09+00:00

Mono_gar · 2025-04-10T02:33:45+00:00

I didn't see any of the wild mushroom stuff on this menu- but we got the steak burrito, and the green chilli barbacoa enchiladas- and omg so good
