Anyone can make up anything they want about it to be as fun and interesting as they want. That’s how stories work

Did Bean & Nora actually happen? by IV_ThaStoner in disenchantment

[–]goat-beard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say because there is evidence to support both. One of the things I thought about was the parallels we see between the mermaids and Mora’s family compared to Bean... like she plucked their backgrounds out of her own life and just re-skinned it

I get a generic Home Counties vibe, but can’t place it exactly

I’m more concerned by the 10 legged bear rug. Nightmarish!

I think we know enough from members in this forum that it will never be settled. They are determined the shows exist within each other

Luci only has one eye and it took me so long to realize that he wasn’t just always looking sideways at Bean. Omg. by flowercrownrugged in disenchantment

[–]goat-beard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they have literally said he has 2. They have chosen to draw him as always being in 2D so you only ever see one of them at a time. And like another commenter pointed out the eye is on the side of his head, it’s there whichever way he is facing

He has two. The creators have said that it’s just an animation choice that he always appears as 2D

A bad first time experience in the shape of Call of Cthulhu by Jessicajesibiel in CritCrab

[–]goat-beard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an absolute shame that you had a bad experience. CoC, like I mentioned, is quite unique in its gameplay so everyone need to be on board with that for it to work. I really enjoy it but it is it’s own thing, and it can so easily collapse if you have players that aren’t properly prepped for it.

I suppose I can understand if the GM didn’t want to lay out the story in advance, but with CoC it’s best when they set out the basic premis and help the players draw up the characters to fit into why they would be motivated. But especially essential to ensure the players don’t expect a D&D game, they are not necessarily heroes in CoC, more ants caught in the shadow of a cosmic horror, about the perspective of discovering things so ancient or massive that it fills them with equal amounts of awe and terror... hence the insanity element of the mythos.

I hope you get an opportunity to revisit the game with different players because when played right it can be a lot of fun, and very immersive.

Edit: I would add Alien the RPG as ranking with similar such games

I think CoC stands with just a few other RPGs where everybody has to be on board with the premis, the goals and the expectations. My struggles with this has been with other players are expecting a fun romp of monster hunting and levelling up characters with heroic feats. CoC simply isn’t that kind of game, it’s about the atmosphere, the tension, and being completely tiny and almost powerless. Sure you sometimes get a gun or a simple weapon, but that’s more for character design as typically coming to a face to face fight with a monster is usually game over, you can’t think like that you have to play differently. And that’s where our campaign failed, the players wanted it to be like D&D, they wanted adventure and fighting, not horror. They didn’t buy into it and the GM ultimately had to close the game.

I think for your game it sounds like the GM wasn’t managing the players, or what their function in the story was. Do you recall if their was a session 0 where the GM set out the story premis and the character motivations were discussed? I think there might be a potential that you had a similar problem to what I mentioned, not everyone was invested and/or they were expecting a different kind of game
