Two-Headed Serpent: Part 1 - Bolivia 

Undead?

In call of c'thulu, no.

Awesome to hear! Best of luck with Bolivia Pt2, and the rest of the campaign

How did you handle the soldiers and serpent people's reception to them at the camp? I could use some tips.

I've listened to this series at least 3 times all the way through. I just started running it for my players, and this series helped me understand the overall plot and scenarios so that all I had to do was skim each chapter. Soooo helpful for someone who starts reading, reads half a page, and then realizes they've been watching guys build pools for two hours.

nice

Beyond the mountains of madness

Nice

He played Masks of Nyarlathotep with How We Roll Podcast if you want to check that out!

Got herself a new pair of sniddies it sounds like

Omg so did i

Yeah. I did to :)

Yepp, me too!! :)

I didn't notice that, but I think part of the reason Seth does these videos is for the costumes. :P

@Chicken Man Continuity!

Yeah I just noticed that and checked the comments to see if I was alone. Guess not! Very nice touch @Seth !

Man, this guy is GOOD!

@@SabreXT new module great work bettels

It's just the cap stones. It really is kinda lame, specially since you don't even have to destroy all 5 to enter the temple, just 2 to expose the door and some dinamite to open it.

The intro with him talking to "French Jack" was freaking hilarious!!!

his expression in that Holy Shit is priceless !!!!

Glad to be of help.

Was Guerrero a psycho before, or is that a side effect of the Serpent People brainwashing him?

I want your name.... 😁😅🤣😂😉

I mean, CoC has done it before, and frankly better than this one IMHO, with Masks of Nyarlathotep. Which also, coincidentally, is a ton of fun when adapted for Pulp Cthulhu! Hell, the 7th edition version of Masks even provides notes on how to adapt it for PC.

Best of luck with the campaign.

the DM Lair Pulp characters have double the hitpoints, can do extra abilities at the cost of luck, and have talents (special abilities they start with).

Harmon Lanager Awesome, thanks! I remember the luck spend and abilities from when I played. I thought the luck spend was a cool game mechanic to get over a roll that almost succeeded. 👍

The Pulp Cthulhu is mostly action /fighting oriented than the original CoC. That’s why characters are stronger with better abilities.

Thanks. I got it here: amzn.to/2HohyDX I really wanted on in the British style like this one : amzn.to/2GXdpHC but all the ones I found had green undersides and that would screw with my green screen.

I'm convinced the dice app on Roll20 personally hates me.

jesternario I deleted library use from my game

Hey Joe, this all depends on how they split the money up and then how much goes into each of their "Assets." Of course things like a new house and car will all go into assets (as those can be sold), as will money in the bank. But a trip to Europe or a trunk of cash beneath the mattress won't. Once the money is in Assets, you compare it to the minimum Assets under each Credit Rank bracket. ($500 for Average, $25,000 for Wealthy, etc.) Now the Keeper Guide (96-97) says the player rolls D10 and add those to their Credit until they pass the Credit Score required for that Credit Bracket (10 for Average. 50 for Wealthy, etc.) If they're shooting for let's say Wealthy, they just keep adding D10 rolls until they hit 50 or higher on their Credit score. Now that could mean the results after adding come to 50-59, then that's the new Credit score. The other way to do it might be once you know what bracket of assets they fall into, divide the assets by what the Credit multiplier for assets is for that rank ($50 for Average, $500 for Wealthy) and use that as the character's new Credit score.

Thanks for getting back to me. The examples you provided are the reasons I asked my question. The way 7E breaks down Credit Rating doesn't make sense. The examples are just too broad. For example, someone with $10,000 in assets would have a Credit Rating of...? Thanks again and keep up the fantastic work.

Personally, I'd give them a Credit of 49. If they want to ever get that nice Credit of 50, then they'll need to get more money somehow.

Perfect. Thanks so much! That's exactly what I was looking for.

I assume the attack was because the Inner Night knew they were from Caduceus, meaning that they are an actual threat. Of course it'll be a few chapters before the PCs learn of the Inner Night or all that.

Sadly I've never played Al-Qadim. I've always wanted to and even picked up 2 of the box sets ages ago with plans to either run them or steal ideas to use in my own world, but I never got around to starting.

I got mine when I bought the book. Picked it up at the Chaosium website and it was among the PDF stuff. At least, I'm 99% sure that's how I got it. It was also several years ago and I've slept since then.

Delta green conversion

That's awesome. Have fun. I promised Jack that I wouldn't discuss the Banshee Incident of 08. Sorry.

Thanks. I edited it with a very liberal use of the cloning tool. First to clean up the middle so I had a series of 3 uninterrupted stair spirals in a row, then I moved the bottom floor down to the correct distance, and then pasted the stairs over and over until they met the floor. I'm not very good with Photoshop, but I can usually fumble my way to an ugly version of what I'm wanting.

Anything can be changed, but the snake theme might prove difficult to do without hurting it. It's deeply woven and comes up the more the campaign goes on, such as the Oklahoma chapter, and the Snake Island chapter. Even the title is a reference to the symbol of a Caduceus as well as the plot of two factions of serpent people at war.

@@SSkorkowsky well the main obstacle would be Snake Island and Caduceus, cause I could swap snake people with Mi-Go and other things would be quite easy to change. Mushroom-drug-church in Oklahoma, fungal infections instead of scales, mind-controlling spores, mushroom-based medicine, etc. Well I'll think about It, thank you for your advice and for all your videos!

"Somme? More like get somme!"

@@oz_jones yeah he ended up being eaten by a serpent person and impersonated.

When I got the PDF, it came with an accompanying zip folder that had both the Maps/Handouts and Keeper Booklet in it. I bought it direct from Chaosium's website.

sorted. 😏👍🏻

Depends entirely on the adventure. But on average, and excluding the single-player adventures, 3-5 is pretty good.

@@SSkorkowsky - Thank you Seth. Specifically, I'm asking about "A Cold Fire Within." I realize you haven't played it, or there would be a review.

Sorry, I haven't read it. It is on my list of Pulp Cthulhu campaigns to consider, but don't know any more than people saying they've enjoyed it and that it's not one of the 2-year commitments like other giant campaigns seem to be.

RVR121 it hasn't been easy for her. She suddenly wears a lot more fancy chest covering necklaces!

@@FuriousJorge Are you in it?

@@dubuyajay9964 I am indeed one of Seth's players.

I'm very happy you've been enjoying them.

I haven't played it yet. So I can't review it until then. No real reason we haven't played it except for I keep finding other adventures I wan't to run instead.

There are also no snake people cults so this is fiction, and if you google for pictures from the Chaco war you will a see a few helmets but not many

Don't know really how Seth would recommend... BUT for my two cents', I use Gurps as my go-to for "base stat' equivalents"... What that does is (once you're familiar with Gurps systemically) gives you basic construction for EVERYTHING in a 3d6 / 1D20 statistical system. AND there's a section in Third edition next to skills about the actual percentile stat's related to the 3D6 base rolls... SO you can just as easily automatically deduce a percentile if you need... Once you CAN construct everything in-game according to some Gurpsian basic equivalent, other games are pretty self-explanatory on either a 5% increment (D20's) or through percentiles otherwise... You CAN also find a statistical monstrosity of choice on the web (an app) related to die rolls and equivalent spreads, deviations, medians, and so forth in all the glorious mathemagical speak that confuses the sh*t out of me, too. The apps are good, as long as YOU have a reasonable idea of what systemic you want out of the mix... and equivalencies can be managed that way a little more directly, even if the reasoning behind it seems about as clear as mud... or tar. The cute part of learning Gurps is that it is UNIVERSAL in scope. It's designed to be able to build absolutely anything... so when faced with two systems that are fairly unique to themselves... say CoC and D&D, Gurps gives game-based build information for most everything required, or some reasonable starting point about how to approach building that mechanic into Gurpsian RPG's... There's no requirement for more than the "Basic Set" to do this, so you get one book and it lets you (with some brain and elbow flexing) build anything you like, in any theme you like, and any bloody way you like it. In any case, I hope it helps. ;o)
