Are you looking to start playing Call of Cthulhu? Is the Starter Set from Chaosium the best way to start your investigations? We have all the answers and more in our Starter Set Unboxing and Impressions video!
We go through the entire Starter Set and decide if it's worth $29.99. On top of that we have the old Starter Set for 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu and we do a quick and dirty comparison of the two. Does the new 40th Anniversary Set edge out the original? Should you just skip the Starter Set? Are these tentacles even real?
Wolf and KMo hope to answer all of these questions and help you get started playing Call of Cthulhu this spooky season!
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
Call of Cthulhu Quick Start Rules, Solo Adventure "Alone Against the Flames" and Character Sheets are all available here for free!

Thanks for another system starter review, guys. You're really doing the lor- I mean- lich's work out here.

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. We love cracking into new systems, and box sets!

Wonderful review! Are you the same guys from The Gabaghoulies Show? :P

@justins2ub 9 месяцев назад

Looks fun! Thank for the recommendation.

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

It's a great system and this is an easy way to get started.

@Newnodrogbob 9 месяцев назад

Ok, Nevada Jones and Pharty McToots definitely need to cross paths at some point…I will never not laugh remembering that story.

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

LOL! Love this comment. Long live Pharty!

I highly recommend you check out the actual keeper book and investigator books. They are TOP quality! This is a great starter, but I agree that handouts could have been easier.

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment. We've got both of those books. Pulp Cthluhu as well! You're correct...the quality is AMAZING. We love the system and will be making more videos on CoC in the future. Have a great day!

I believe the dice colors are a bit of a tossup, as I got the old box a few years ago, but got green dice, not gray.

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

That's interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

@markgrehan3726 9 месяцев назад

It's a solid Starter set where they have kept costs low (Which is nice) but it's still just a gateway to the awesome world of Call of Cthulhu. I will disagree with you on the combat, there is a lot of combat in most adventures, the cliche of Cthulhu being a one-shot death fest where your characters go mad and die is really, really overblown.

@BB-pn2qv 9 месяцев назад

Agreed.

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, the full rules are great. We hope people use this product as a stepping stone to the core rules. Regarding combat, we can only speak from experience. Maybe we just suck, but there is always some poor bloke that dies horribly when we play! I'm sure campaign play would change that a bit, we mostly run this as one shots. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!

RU-vid at it’s finest. Lol 4.7k likes would be nice though 😄

@messenger3478 Месяц назад

I bought this....don't like it. After playing Alone Against the Flames, I still am not sure how to play this game. I feel disappointed, frustrated, and a waist of money. It might be better to get this for just the adventures.

@odinulveson9101 9 месяцев назад

Lovecrafts Cosmic horror invention is grand and dire, just not my taste. Find its too much of it imo, used and easter egged in alot of media. Kinda got tired of it all. I go for Vaesen( Væsen, Æ, Ø, Å is core nordic letters)= being. The nordic mythological horror tabletop rpg and it got an expansion covering irish and british nightmare fuel aswell☠️ Dark fantasy, gothic horror is my preference👻 Still all these darker genres is all equally viable for autumn, harvest 🎃and the spooky celebration of the deads season of Samhain ( celtic pagan roots ), All hallows eve ( christians taken take on it ) and Halloween ( jolly secular consumerism season and harvest of dosh )👹💰

@BasicLiches 9 месяцев назад

We completely understand that Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos are not everyone's cup of tea. Vaesen looks AMAZING. We have the core rules and the most recently released expansion. Hopefully, we can find some time to cover it this spooky season. Thanks for dropping us a comment!

@odinulveson9101 9 месяцев назад

@@BasicLiches To each their own, I might try Chutulu someday myself. And my pleasure, cant wait to see you guys cover Vaesen 🤘

@markgrehan3726 9 месяцев назад

Hang on they have pronouns on the Investigator sheets!?

@GromMolotok 9 месяцев назад

Yep. The blank sheets in the box have a space also, though they're just plain b/w instead of parchment look.

@minimoose7890 9 месяцев назад

Well, there's no gender field on the sheet, which if there was then it would seem like a waste of space-usage to have both. I guess they decided to go with pronoun instead of gender? (Although I don't think people dealing with occult horrors in Arkham have time to worry about asking investigators for their pronouns when their lives are on the line, heh.)

@markgrehan3726 9 месяцев назад

@@minimoose7890 Yeah it's no biggie but maybe a gender field instead of a pronoun one.
