MUP Ep 296 – Cthulhu 101: What is Call of Cthulhu?

Miskatonic University Podcast

This episode, Keeper Dave & Bridgett are excited to kick off a new series of episodes that provide you, dear listener, with a curriculum to enhance and grow your gameplay!

These curriculum – curricula? – will be a set of episodes organized like classes that are focused on improving one set of your gaming perspective and skills.

That’s right – and so we’re starting with our first Curriculum series now! Starting tonight we debut our first Curriculum– Welcome to Cthulhu University – From Neophyte to Elder God (and everything in-between)

Over the next 6 episodes, we will review the coursework for Call of Cthulhu, taking us from an introductory start, basically Call of Cthulhu for Dummies, all the way through career level professionalism. This series is targeted for both beginners and veterans alike. We’ll approach Call of Cthulhu from a fresh perspective with rejuvenating and inspiring ideas to elevate your CoC storytelling!

Bridgett’s Pet Pick Shout Out

I’d like to shout out Miss Miskatonic’s cat Jack, and this absurd sleeping position. Upside down, inside out, twisted, folded, and knocked out. I’m impressed.
