Call of Cthulhu: The Disintegrator #3 

Excellent story telling Tom, your always a good GM. Shout-out to the players Simon, Lydia, Tom Bates, and Pflax.

Thank you for getting Simon on this one! I know mystery is in the name but I would love to see some more 'yogsquest' style adventures too if possible. After Hat Films pirate one I went back and rewatched all the old yogsquests again and realised I need more! Lastly, while Tom doesn't always paint the most vivid picture of detail he does keep hidden secrets really well for the reveal and that's not easy, loving it so far!

Excellent stuff! Can't wait to become a member!

2 spooky, pissed myself, would watch again.

whats on the patreon?

In my opinion this is what makes the lovecraftian horror even greater, you would have enough problems without it and this totally finishes it

That really is one of the things that's so great about it. I think some of the best cosmic horror stories are the ones where the supernatural stays unknown and unknowable, and our human capabilities can only perceive is the havoc it wreaks on the small slice of reality we have access to. The disintegrator is like the mythical Apple of Discord. Put it between a bunch of people, and watch them tear themselves apart to get it.

The Yogscast Guarantee.

do you know thetrue ending

That's like every GM's problem lol you have this plan to play an actual campaign and then faff half the night away setting up characters and then doing everything except the story

I realised what she thought of immediately. Lindt makes great chocolate.

At the end of the video, my stomach still hurts from laughing so much at that haha

Tom was so done he full named her XD

I thought she was making a joke and others didn't get it at first haha

He is the diggy hole man, after all.

He wanted to see if it would destroy the entire world

Agreed!

And so he did

I think I'll like it when I'm watching episodes weekly - currently I find it breaks the flow for me when I'm bingeing 3 hours of Tom and his friends playing with their CoC

Mystery quest!

Same! Tom's such an immersive DM.

@@Wjshorepeople used to complain that they needed recaps now we complain about recaps

@@GreenEyedDazzler it depends how you're taking in the media, but it's 100% better to have and not need. If you only have time to watch one and then 4 days later you watch the next then you probably need a recap. Just for these opening ones, when they dumped a whole load straight on us and I ate that shit up like a henry hoover, I found it inconvenient but I already can't remember exactly where they left off the first episode of Mörk Bork

Hoping they return in the next Call of C'thulhu game they do.

That's what they're doing I think, with the "Post-Game Table Chat"

​@@alfredhadesworth9253is that a members only video

There is one for members. So he does do it. You just need to be a member.

Its really a strange situation. Really hammers home the idea of "look out for yourself first" ideology when dealing with most things of this nature.

Having read the scenario before: The bat/moth/men were the ones extracting brains and using tentacles; they're a super scientific alien race called the Mi-go, who like to experiment on humans. Mr. Sleep is a shoggoth lord, a very small shapechanging subspecies of the shoggoths, gigantic formless monsters in the most remote regions of the earth. The Disintegrator is a primordial alien weapon used for genocide against the shoggoths and their creators. The shoggoths want it so that they can dispose of it. The Mi-go have detected the device and want to take it away for further study. Neither cares about humanity. The White Point Hotel is obliterated as a side-effect of the Mi-go giving up on their goal and blasting off back to their space station. Oops! Helping Mr. Sleep or helping the Mi-go are definitely the safer choices, but they also involve helping aliens who are happy to murder humans whenever convenient. The most "good" ending would be to fight off both alien parties and claim the Disintegrator for themselves, but that would be extremely dangerous and they could've been slaughtered in the attempt.

@@vesperhugothanks for the round up, helps to explain it! What I don’t understand is how they would’ve killed mr sleep, the disintegrater did nothing to him, and I doubt the guns would have helped much.

​@@ozytheuzifeels like one of those choose your own adventure books where it's like "if you picked up the dagger that kills people who are immune to disintegration rays, turn to page 46"

@@ozytheuzi if I recall correctly, the disintegrator did nothing because Pyrion didn't get a good enough roll.

​@@vesperhugoyeah. The only real way to win that fight is actually make use of the disintegrater. Or get really lucky on your firearm rolls. Like. Really lucky.

It’s a supplement

It's one of the small pre-written adventures at the end of the Pulp Cthulu book.

@@Geothesponge111 Is there more info about what the entity's and device were? Or is everything writtent to be ambigious?

@@Ltmime The supplement does name the entities. They are famous mythos creatures. Spoilers below. - - - - - Mr. Sleep is a Shoggoth Lord. The flickering bats in the mist are Mi-go. The Mi-go are masters of surgery and can control human bodies. They are also responsible for the mist. The Mi-go are aliens that are looking to take the device and use it to kill Shoggoth as it's one of the few things that can harm them. Mr. Sleep wants to destroy the device so it can't be used against his kind. Mr. Sleep can't touch the device because of the radiation it gives off. The device itself is an old piece of tech that was found in a excavation by the guy that claimed he invented it. It was tech from an ancient civilisation that predates the evolution of humans on earth.

@@Ltmime Super spoilers below: I'm not super into lovecraftian stuff but I did some poking around because I was also curious. This is a prewritten scenario called "The Disintegrator", and is part of the Pulp Cthulu book as mentioned. Mr. Sleep appears to be what is known as a "Shoggoth lord" - Another more notable example is called "Mr. Shiney". Normal shoggoth are ancient and take the form of an amophous mass of tentacles and other nasty features. Shoggoth lords are mostly different in that they can take a human form with the help of some special quality of their suit. They were once biologicals tools of the elder gods, but became intelligent eons ago and fought for their independence. The flying creatures appear to be known as "mi-go", a hyperadvanced alien species of winged fungal creatures who are extremely adept in neuroscience (to the extent that they would be able to animate the corpse as seen in this episode). They also possess additional otherworldly qualities, such as telepathy and being impossible to photograph since they, for lack of a better explanation, exist in other dimensions on top of what the human race and our tools do, and light does not interact with them how our photography and eyes expect it to. The race is known to be at war with the elder gods. Things never seem to be black and white with lovecraftian stuff - example, based on my reading, both of these entities would seem to be in conflict with the elder gods, but that does not necessarily make them allies. I'm sure they each have their own conflicting goals for the device. As for the device itself, I wasn't really able to find much about it, but I'm sure it's equally as fantastic as these two beings. Regardless, based on what I've read at least, I don't really think there was a good ending to this adventure outside of surviving. Both entities are more than capable of killing the party, both seem to have little respect for human life, and I'm sure each has their own nefarious goals. I suspect even destroying the device could have been a bad ending as that may have enraged one or both parties. But then, it's a role play session so who knows - maybe there is a way to destroy the device and get away, but whos to say the device needed to be destroyed? Some terms worth web searching for more info are: mi-go, shoggoth or shoggoth lord, mr shiney, the disintegrator

Already out on their pateron and yes I think members video is the plan too

You should watch the end of the video.
