HSG59: Call of Cthulhu RPG

Rob Croy, from The Table is Yours podcast, returns to talk Horror RPGs and Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium. This episode dives into the system but spends most of its time talking about how to start and maintain a horror game. We spend a lot of time discussing 'horror maps' and other methods to keep the suspense up without letting the terror escape the game. Horror games can be tricky, but a ton of fun when they come together.

We also discuss several great modules by Chaosium that could be adapted to fit your group and even other systems quite easily.
