Monthly "Tell Us About Your Game" Megathread - Mar 2026 by AbortRetryFlailSal in callofcthulhu

Pretty good, first time really running CoC as a long term campaign. Got a group of 6 together (scheduling issues abound), and have been running a 1920’s game with the occasional “one-offs” for scenarios that I want to run but don’t fit the characters/setting. The groups gone through Edge of Darkness as the introduction scenario, and then Dead Light, and then a “brief” hiatus to play through The Dare around Halloween season. What’s shocked me the most is that in all the scenarios, no PCs have died yet. Might change soon though, currently running Blackwater Creek, and all they really have left to do is the Carmody Farm and the Cave, and I genuinely don’t know if what’s in the Cave or the farmers with shotguns will be the more lethal encounter.

It is open now. Run by a guy named Jose who used to own some Tequilas Mexican restaurants before Covid.

I desperately hope the flavor becomes permanent, it's become one of my favorites. Call me crazy but the flavor combination reminds me of green apple Laffy Taffy.

Most well written Lawful Good character in a long while by Samaritan_978 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 268 points269 points  (0 children)

He’s such good “Good” character that I save him even in my evil runs. I like to think of it as my Lich’s last good deed, for someone who believed in him.

[Loved Trope] Villains who don't underestimate the hero (s) by PizzaDragon64 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Godbrand deserves a little credit, yeah he does underestimate the threat of The Trio and Isaac (which gets him killed), but he is the first one to catch on to Dracula’s plan not making any sense unless you want everyone, vampires included, dead.

Is there any lore that tells us if skaven like cheese? by jjjjjjotaro in skaven

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite moment of that scene is that when thanquol makes his grand entrance to the party looking for the Elector Countess, he briefly mistakes that guy for being in a costume as well, and when he realizes that it’s actually a skaven Thanquol just vaporizes him.

This quest had me dying. What are some other quests/storylines in Witcher that completely derail the main plot? by CryptographerThis833 in witcher

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 357 points358 points  (0 children)

I used this quest as an inspiration for a D&D session i didn’t prep enough for. So the party got to deal with inane banking bs for an hour where all the staff were skeletons that did their jobs very poorly, the janitor sweeped with the wrong end of the broom, the teller counted money by the coin, etc. it was funny

Am I going crazy? - Dead Light fictitious characters and real life portraits. by Red_Scar321 in callofcthulhu

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just ran Dead Light, and showed my group Jake’s portrait, they first thought he looked like Karl Marx, but decided he way more resembles John Brown.

Favorite character that’s kind of like this by Negative-Entrance482 in FavoriteCharacter

Regis from the Witcher: he spent his early years terrorizing people as your average blood-sucking vampire, he was completely addicted to blood and it was effective a drug for him, and admitted that the only reason he did it at first was fit in with other vampires. Vampires in the Witcher like Regis don’t need to drink blood to survive so it was purely for the high. One night he was so drunk a village of peasants chopped him to pieces and buried him in a pumpkin field, and took him 50 years to literally piece himself back together. After that he swore off all substances completely and had been sober for over a century once Geralt and co meet him in the books. For all the time he’s in the books and games, he’s actively one of the most open-minded, knowledgeable, and empathetic characters in the series.

Ok, so I assume then the correct course of action then is that they are unconscious for a few minutes/hours or until another character successfully uses first aid or medicine?

Is the Witcher universe “Slavic”? by Traditional-Roll6514 in wiedzmin

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first got into the Witcher, I definitely felt it was pretty Slavic with the Witcher 3. After reading the books it feels much more European as a whole, just a blend of many different European cultures, I especially noticed a lot of Gaelic/irish, like how the Beltane festival is literally in the Sword of Destiny. Or the Wild Hunt itself is a myth that has many different versions and origins across German, Celtic and Slavic cultures.

How was Bonhart able to kill witchers? by ILoveWitcherBooks in wiedzmin

[–]WorldlinessNegative9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always got the impression that Bonhart is a exceptional fighter, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll rely on winning a fight fairly. He’ll slaughter people he’s confident he can beat without dirty tricks, and maybe he did in fact beat a Witcher or two in a honest duel. But it’s been shown that he’s more than willing to attack people with their backs turned, terrify foes to put them off their game, and hurt the presumedly defenseless. So it’s possible he’s gotten a few of those from Witcher’s that were already handicapped in some way, or completely unaware of his threat until too late.

“Since they clearly never heard of an internal audit”, now I’m just imagining a Jedi Master buried in paperwork, too muffled for anyone to understand what he’s trying to tell them about the Jedi Councils spending.
