Spooklicious Behind the Scenes
The cast talks about the first arc: The Dance in the Blood
1
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:21,800
Hello everyone.
Welcome back to a special
2
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,800
episode of Daniels dread Tails
right now, we're going to be
3
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,900
doing a little behind the scenes
on our first season Dan in the
4
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,100
blood.
And I'm going to chatting with
5
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:38,000
the, the players and talked
about how we felt for our first
6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,600
little record.
And some decisions we made.
7
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,700
And so before, You get started.
Let's once again go around and
8
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,000
we'll introduce ourselves.
I'm as you may know, Daniel host
9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,800
of the show and I'm Dan Russell.
He, he they in my 30s and
10
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,400
figuring stuff out.
Don't hold it against me.
11
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,900
I played dr.
Michael laws.
12
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,400
And I'm Dominic, I played Jonesy
The Lovable gentleman pronouns.
13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:12,000
He him, I'm Nathan, he him, I
played the artist, huh?
14
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,000
And long.
Awesome.
15
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,600
So I guess my first question for
you guys, is, what did you think
16
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,500
about the adventure?
I had fun.
17
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,300
I enjoyed going gradually
crazier when you did pretty good
18
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,200
about like doing the crazy.
I had a lot of fun with it.
19
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Yeah, Eddie of you guys played
specifically trail of Cthulhu
20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,200
before any of the gumshoe games
I had not, this was my first
21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,200
time playing a gumshoe game,
which is weird, because I think
22
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,700
the system is really great.
And I've always He's wanted to
23
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,300
play it but just never found the
time or the people.
24
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,300
So it was nice.
Well, I do want to run it again
25
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:51,400
sometimes, so we'll give that
shot.
26
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,500
There's also a gumshoe
one-on-one thing.
27
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,600
I want to do, if we ever want to
do an episode with just be and
28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,400
one player, but that's a
conversation for another time.
29
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,500
You could kind of make it sound,
like an interrogation room.
30
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,800
You could do it that way.
That actually be kind of cool.
31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
That is extremely cool.
I didn't think about that
32
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,900
something.
Think about later.
33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,400
Yeah, somebody job.
Down, but hints for the future.
34
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,500
I'd like to hear in particular.
What did you think about the
35
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:19,600
characters that you were
playing?
36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
How did you feel?
Why did you make the choices
37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,700
that you're making for your
characters?
38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,600
How about you Nathan?
What did you think about your
39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000
artistic self?
Partially?
40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,700
I ended up picking Helen because
I just I really like the idea of
41
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,800
just an artist who's here to see
some fucked up.
42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,400
Shit that comes back to bite her
because Nothing good happens to
43
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,000
an artist and Lovecraft.
It just doesn't happen.
44
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,600
You're not going to make it out
of it with your sanity.
45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,900
Intact.
Which Helen very much didn't?
46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,600
Yeah, I guess I should say,
would you say, you picked Helen,
47
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,600
I provided you guys with a list
of.
48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000
I think it was six pre-made
characters, you to take a look
49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,500
at and you you settled on an
artistic Soul whose well, they
50
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:09,200
didn't make it.
Yeah, a lot of what went into
51
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000
hell and ended up just being how
I usually.
52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,000
React to situations where I just
I'm exasperated but I try to
53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,300
move on because we were in a
very exasperating situation on
54
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,000
account of the increasingly
sociopathic doctor.
55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,600
I found I found Helen to be a
really good sounding board for
56
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,700
all my crazy glad I could help.
Yeah, you sort of worked.
57
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:36,800
As, you know, nobody wants to be
the straight man, but it did
58
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,000
sort of that work.
As you were arguably, the, the
59
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,000
only, Saying man in the room or
woman as it were and then taking
60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,300
your life to get out of this
nonsense.
61
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,200
I like it near the end.
I just started.
62
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:55,100
I figured it's a One-Shot I can
afford to like just ignore game
63
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:59,000
mechanics and just have her go
absolutely crazy at the idea of
64
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:01,800
turning into one of these things
and I appreciate that.
65
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,700
And so I do feel a little bad
because I kind of just stopped
66
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:08,000
playing the game.
You know, I like to think I
67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,200
added something by just losing
it in the background.
68
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:15,200
I also Sighs when I really
listened to our last session
69
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,600
Helen Helen Helen Helen slit her
own throat, right?
70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Little bit.
That was a step in the end up
71
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,600
becoming a worm person thing.
So I might have accidentally.
72
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Whoops, I didn't think about
that, but yeah, that is one of
73
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,900
the steps to were modifying or
whatever it was hopefully the
74
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,200
lack of the other steps makes
it.
75
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,500
So that you know, Helen did not
Turn into a worm person and
76
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:47,000
instead just died as requested.
I mean, here's the thing.
77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Helen, you were always a warm
person.
78
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,500
You just didn't want to let it
out.
79
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,800
I'm pretty sure the Crux of my
character in the finale is that
80
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000
she did not want that just end
up up that shell off.
81
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,300
Well, you would be the expert
Dominic tell us about the
82
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:05,700
lovable Jonesy Jonesy is an
interesting character because
83
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,200
when we were selecting our
characters, it was he's between
84
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Jonesy or the dilettante and he
there was going to be someone
85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,800
that Slowly just broke over time
or someone that was kind while.
86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,900
Yeah, I'ma be honest, the
dilettante was just going to be
87
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:23,300
just a piece of work but I
didn't want to do that.
88
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:28,400
So I just went with someone that
would slowly lose every pillar
89
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,300
of whatever they hold on to
overtime.
90
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,600
So Jones, he's like, big pillar
was, you know, not well it was
91
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,400
like reporting reporting to the
authorities Britain, which I
92
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,200
didn't really We play into
because I'm not gonna, I'm not
93
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,600
British, I'm not British, and
I'm not going to pull that what
94
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,200
I was, it not Dick Van Dyke, who
played, who played The Chimney,
95
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,900
Sweeper in Mary Poppins?
No, that was a different guy.
96
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Like, oh yeah, yeah, I'm not
going to do that.
97
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,600
No, no sir, you know, a side
note, fun fact.
98
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,900
I ran into did Dick Van Dyke
once literally, I was a singer
99
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:10,100
in something called the candle
light Carol at Disneyland.
100
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:11,300
This is what I was in high
school.
101
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:17,600
And Dick Van Dyke was one of the
there's a bunch of people
102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,100
singing and then one person
comes out like a celebrity and
103
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,900
like does like a reading to go
along with it.
104
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,900
I was going to the bathroom and
the back of one of their little
105
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,200
stages where they had us all
crammed and he was coming out of
106
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,000
the bathroom as I was going in
and I literally bumped into a.
107
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,500
Yeah, yeah, seems like a nice
guy.
108
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,300
That's some deep Daniel.
Laura there, there's some Daniel
109
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,000
or yes.
And then there we go.
110
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,100
Mark that down in the Wiki, they
do this thing at Disneyland
111
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,200
called the candle light, Carol,
which is extremely religious
112
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,900
easy for Disney.
Sorry, I got sidetracked.
113
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,400
I heard Dick Van Dyke and had to
say my one celebrity story,
114
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,700
continue what you're doing, you
know what we got?
115
00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:00,000
We got the lure, we got the
lure, I'm gonna take that as a
116
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,900
lure check and I succeeded.
Um, so yeah, I just wanted to go
117
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:08,000
with someone that would break
over time.
118
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:12,800
And so, another big pillar was
he's gonna You get out of life
119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,900
regardless of whatever happens.
I definitely play that up at the
120
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:17,900
very end where I was like, you
know what?
121
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:23,000
This isn't worth it, I'm gone,
I'm done no more by but you
122
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,200
know, since he is a worm person,
he will hear the call and he
123
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600
will slowly make his way back
regardless, if he wants to or
124
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,700
not and how about are in some
ways maddest character?
125
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,700
Dr. Laws.
Well I enjoyed that.
126
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,500
The first thing I said was A
verbal typos with the brander
127
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:47,400
and going into it.
I knew I wanted to play someone
128
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:51,400
just sort of different than, you
know, how you usually play RPGs
129
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,200
and then I just kept passing
sanity checks.
130
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,300
Yeah, I thought it was a little
interesting.
131
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,000
How you were, like, I got what
you were doing, you were trying
132
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,400
to be like, oh, you know, a
little bit zany, a little bit
133
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,300
different, in a sort of way of
doing it.
134
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:09,300
But then, as you saw the story,
like going around that sort of
135
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:11,900
zaniness turned into something a
little bit more.
136
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Minutes late.
At least.
137
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,000
That's sort of how I saw it.
Oh, but I dropped hints all the
138
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,500
way through like early on.
They're talking about going to
139
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,200
the Ferry Landing like, oh,
excellent to Second location
140
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,900
towards the end.
I'm the only one succeeding at
141
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:29,400
lurking around a place and it's
like you guys have never done
142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,799
this before.
I will say this the slow
143
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:37,400
realization that it wasn't a bit
really stuck with me.
144
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,799
Like just slowly realizing wait,
he's just not just zany.
145
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,900
He's actually a sociopath.
I was making jokes but no, he's
146
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,000
genuinely insane.
Part of the reason I played it
147
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,100
that way actually comes from the
blades in the dirt game.
148
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,300
That most of us have been part
of and I was describing
149
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:58,500
something gruesome going on, but
with none of the weight that
150
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,300
that deserves.
And I really enjoyed how that
151
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,600
came up in the actual game.
I was like, I wonder if I can do
152
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,600
that here.
Just unfazed by the nightmare
153
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,800
around you it away.
That is rough, I guess.
154
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,500
The thing I do want to ask is
have you guys ever played much
155
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:21,600
like actual spooky Lovecraft or
horror e role-playing games for
156
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,800
with this sort of thing would
happen.
157
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,500
I have been the horror before I
played a game of Dragon Age
158
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,000
tabletop and I was coming into a
part way through.
159
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,500
I was like, well I'm sitting
there at the bar.
160
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,800
I've got a Thousand-Year here,
thousand-yard stare in my eyes
161
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,900
and I'm covered in blood.
Like, oh, something awful must
162
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:41,100
have happened to this guy as it
turns out.
163
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:47,000
No Oh, this guy is awful.
I believe my last game that
164
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
party decided to stay with me to
protect the world from my evil,
165
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:55,900
Good Times, Dominic Nathan, it
experience with a horror games
166
00:09:55,900 --> 00:10:00,100
before, not really.
Um, ya know, for the, for the
167
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:04,300
most part, I've I've always
liked I really like a lot of
168
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,600
different systems, but I've
never really had the people to
169
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,500
diversify with, but even then
horror was never really on my
170
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:15,600
radar until until you.
Basically asked any any of
171
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,900
everybody, if anybody want to
take part in this podcast and I
172
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:21,600
said, sure sounds like fun.
I know this guy, he likes
173
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,100
Godzilla.
I never really done any horror
174
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:27,300
tabletop RPGs before, but this
really went well.
175
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:31,800
So I'm in now I do like
Godzilla.
176
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:36,400
All right, glad to hear it and
how much you don't know.
177
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,200
Actually, if I've never played
any horde RPGs ever, I've
178
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200
always, I've always really
wanted to play.
179
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Delta green, but every time I
would try to convince people
180
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,600
that I normally play RPGs with
they're all like Delta green
181
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,600
know, that sounds boring.
I'd rather go slay monsters and
182
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,300
stuff and like will he do just
like X-Files, guys?
183
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:00,300
But you know, now it never it
never falls through.
184
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,800
So yeah, this is the first time
I've ever done a horror one.
185
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:08,100
Well, I have Delta green on the
list if I'm the big board of
186
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
things I want to get to.
So when we do that we'll have to
187
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,300
bring you back for that.
Whoo I definitely because
188
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,200
there's the one Mario that I
think is Infamous, which is the
189
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,300
one based in Vietnam.
That one's the one that I've
190
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:24,200
been eyeing the entire time,
there's a peak for the future.
191
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,100
As for me, I actually quite like
horror stuff.
192
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:30,000
I wish I could run horror stuff
all the time, which is why they
193
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
do podcasts, where I could do it
all day time.
194
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:36,400
I'll beat you guys help me with
my guest, of course, but it's
195
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,500
got my name on it.
I actually have run this
196
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:44,100
scenario in particular once
before it was actually Three,
197
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:47,800
one of my favorite role playing
gate experiences I ever had,
198
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,200
which is why I wanted to start
off this one with this pretty
199
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,400
good scenario.
You may have heard way back at
200
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,400
the day.
It's not that far back in the
201
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:06,300
day, but I did a couple of
episodes on the podcast Friday
202
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:10,300
night quest, where I ran a
couple of like spooky games for
203
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,400
them as like sort of a one-off
thing and I had a pretty good
204
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,400
time with that.
And I just have always wanted to
205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,900
do that.
I it started as a thing where I
206
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:23,200
would run, I would try to run
like a Halloween game for my
207
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,500
regular D&D group.
And now it's just sort of become
208
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,600
the wanting to just run horror
stuff all the time.
209
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:32,600
I think it's really good,
especially for one shot side
210
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,900
horror campaign would be a
little bit more difficult.
211
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:38,000
But 41 Shots I really like that.
You can just like go in and know
212
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,500
that like mmmm maybe we're not
getting through this one.
213
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:43,100
And I think that's a, that's a
really fun time.
214
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,200
I see.
Bo's.
215
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,800
I've also played a game of alien
with you and I drank a
216
00:12:47,808 --> 00:12:49,700
xenomorph.
That was pretty good.
217
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,500
Oh yeah, we did play that.
Oh yeah.
218
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,700
I got blown apart.
Yeah.
219
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,400
There was a little alien gave
Iran for a couple of you folks
220
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,000
that didn't go.
Well, it went great.
221
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,500
I missed this one.
Yeah.
222
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Well, we'll be running some
alien on the show as well.
223
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,100
I've actually run it a personal
alien game right now with a
224
00:13:11,108 --> 00:13:15,300
couple of folks, kind of a
training For the the show.
225
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,400
Are you doing the space?
Truckers one?
226
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,700
Or are you doing the colonial
Marines?
227
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:23,200
One, I'm doing a colonial marine
one right now because I've done
228
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,800
that space trucker 14.
I'm trying to Colonial Marine
229
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,000
One.
Okay.
230
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400
So is that one going to be a
long-standing campaign?
231
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,200
Or is that going to be kind of
like the one shot because like,
232
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,300
I've always heard that people
that run the colonial Marines.
233
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,700
One, it turns into like it's
like it starts off as a
234
00:13:37,708 --> 00:13:40,400
One-Shot, they're like, everyone
survived, let's just do another
235
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,900
one.
See if I can kill off more and
236
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:46,000
then, you know, a year later.
Oh well, let me tell you this.
237
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:50,700
We've played one episode so far.
I think if the ideas was going
238
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:53,200
to break it up or three
sections, one person is already
239
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,700
dead.
So they're not all making it
240
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:59,300
through aliens thereof, but
enough about another gave in the
241
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:01,300
future.
I do want to mention that you
242
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:04,000
guys did a little better than
the first time.
243
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,200
I ran this game, only one person
survived the.
244
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,200
First time I played this
scenario, the dance of the blood
245
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,300
you guys to people survived the
light Argue.
246
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,700
That's not a good thing for one
of their cases.
247
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,400
Oh, yeah.
No definitely.
248
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,300
No, it's bad.
No, no, that's bad.
249
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:22,200
There was though there was no
happy ending for this.
250
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,100
I do quite admire the fact not
admire.
251
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800
I think it's very interesting
that you guys would explicitly
252
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,300
like player versus player near
the end.
253
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,200
What I played this before, I
just had, I had one person set
254
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,100
themselves on fire in the house
along with all the documents to
255
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:40,700
make sure that it wouldn't get
out again.
256
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:44,900
And then another person was
right about, Out to sacrifice
257
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:48,300
their brother, and instead
killed themselves to make it.
258
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,200
So that they wouldn't have to do
that.
259
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,200
Where is our doctor laws?
Ran.
260
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Headfirst into it loving every
minute of it.
261
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,300
Absolutely.
So anything else you think that
262
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:03,600
the world needs to know about
our first season?
263
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:08,000
Thank you for listening.
Yeah, I I'm sure I had a million
264
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,900
things lined up in my head, but
now that you have called upon
265
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:15,300
them, like Keyser Soze someone
has to And that reference right?
266
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:18,100
Is that what Keyser Soze is?
I think I've only ever seen the
267
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:21,900
end of that movie?
Okay, well, I'm referencing the
268
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:27,100
end of that movie.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't II
269
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,300
actually, don't, The Usual
Suspects poof, like they were
270
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:32,900
never there gone.
Oh, that's what you beat.
271
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,400
It was like, it was never there.
I thought you were saying, you
272
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000
put a bunch of Clues together
and realize, well, no spoilers
273
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,800
for that.
I am put nothing together.
274
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,500
I'll now that you said that you
said the movie.
275
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,700
Oh no, you just oh no.
What have youd, Nathan?
276
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,800
What have you done?
Hopefully, no one's gonna put
277
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,600
that together.
If you don't if you don't know
278
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,400
the ending of The Usual Suspects
that's on you the movies
279
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,500
overrated.
Anyway.
280
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,300
Well whoa the like the twist of
that is phenomenal.
281
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,800
You don't want to give people
the the heads up.
282
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:12,100
Well I think it's vague.
I think it's vague enough.
283
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:18,300
I think we're good.
There, everybody knows book.
284
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,600
Sometimes, there's got to be a
statute of limitations on
285
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,600
spoiler.
I went and saw the King Kong
286
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,300
remake when it was out in
theaters.
287
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:30,300
I went with one of my roommates
at the time, the words King Kong
288
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:33,400
pops up at the screen and they
jokingly leaned over and
289
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,900
whispered to my buddy, Jeff,
Jeffrey my brother.
290
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:39,200
I hear he dies at the end of
this.
291
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,600
And he was like, whoa, dude,
you're spoiling it for me.
292
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,500
And I said each King Kong, dude.
There's a statute of limitations
293
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:51,900
on this stuff.
You know, he climbs up the
294
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,100
building.
Did you think he was gonna climb
295
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,000
down?
That'll be quite the twist.
296
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,900
It's the same.
It's just a faster.
297
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,000
Steps.
Speed climbing?
298
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,300
Yes, he fell down that's
different than climbing because
299
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:08,500
I meant to say the King Kong
remake which one like my brain
300
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,300
immediately went by like you
Kong Skull Island.
301
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:14,700
Peter Jackson's King Kong.
No, no, no.
302
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,000
The one that was just King Kong
Jackson's.
303
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
King Kong.
Now, the one with Jack Black.
304
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,400
Yeah.
Because they're the actual
305
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,700
climbs up a building at that
one.
306
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,200
His doesn't he climb a building
in Congress?
307
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Is Godzilla 2 and then the
scaling gets really, really
308
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,000
weird.
Yeah, look, they had to make it
309
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,400
big enough to fight Godzilla.
It's fine.
310
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200
You see, trying to think about
scaling.
311
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,500
In a Kaiju movie is a Fool's
errand, and the only thing
312
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,600
you'll get out of it is a
headache and slightly.
313
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:41,600
Less Fun.
And why would you want either of
314
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,300
those things?
Yeah, that's always the thing
315
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:48,400
that's funny.
If you like really start going
316
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,200
deep into like Kaiju stuff
people talk.
317
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,600
When this God, this movie,
Godzilla's X meters tall, but in
318
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,700
this one, he's like taller, and
it's like oh, who cares, man?
319
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,500
It's fine.
Whatever.
320
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,300
What the before this turns into
a Kaiju podcast which some
321
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,900
people might want to listen to,
but I think most people would
322
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:12,700
like to skip.
I That we will call it though.
323
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,100
I do want to just throw out real
quick.
324
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:18,000
Thank you so much for sticking
around and listening to our
325
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,300
first season.
It's really great to know that
326
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:24,600
people are listening and a
really other great thing to do
327
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,100
would be for you to review our
podcast.
328
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:31,300
And I say that kind of as a
joke.
329
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:34,800
But like seriously it really
helps the podcast pop off and
330
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,100
get the word out there.
So please review us on your
331
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,800
podcast platform of choice.
Though.
332
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,100
Ideally, maybe do it on Apple?
ITunes, I really like iTunes.
333
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,100
But fact, that's how people get
stuff out there.
334
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,200
You just want to pop up Res.
Anything you want to do?
335
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,900
Just just, yeah, I would put
this stuff together and I hope
336
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,400
you'd like it and I just wish
more people could hear it.
337
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,600
So thanks everybody.
Oh, I got to say something
338
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,300
spooky.
I've been saying a spook related
339
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:03,300
things at the ends of episodes.
Oh goodness.
340
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:07,700
Oh, might I suggest spooky
Licious spook a Licious.
341
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,700
Ooh, please don't say.
A spooky lucious.
342
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,700
I mean you are we've had two
people say that word now.
343
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:19,900
So I will say it as well.
Have a spooky Licious day boil
344
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:25,000
schools and and Bruce that's a
stretch.
345
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,200
Sounds like it's starting dirty,
when you.
346
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,900
All right, all right, I'm out.
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:21,800
Hello everyone.
Welcome back to a special
2
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,800
episode of Daniels dread Tails
right now, we're going to be
3
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,900
doing a little behind the scenes
on our first season Dan in the
4
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,100
blood.
And I'm going to chatting with
5
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:38,000
the, the players and talked
about how we felt for our first
6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,600
little record.
And some decisions we made.
7
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,700
And so before, You get started.
Let's once again go around and
8
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,000
we'll introduce ourselves.
I'm as you may know, Daniel host
9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,800
of the show and I'm Dan Russell.
He, he they in my 30s and
10
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,400
figuring stuff out.
Don't hold it against me.
11
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,900
I played dr.
Michael laws.
12
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,400
And I'm Dominic, I played Jonesy
The Lovable gentleman pronouns.
13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:12,000
He him, I'm Nathan, he him, I
played the artist, huh?
14
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,000
And long.
Awesome.
15
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,600
So I guess my first question for
you guys, is, what did you think
16
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,500
about the adventure?
I had fun.
17
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,300
I enjoyed going gradually
crazier when you did pretty good
18
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,200
about like doing the crazy.
I had a lot of fun with it.
19
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Yeah, Eddie of you guys played
specifically trail of Cthulhu
20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,200
before any of the gumshoe games
I had not, this was my first
21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,200
time playing a gumshoe game,
which is weird, because I think
22
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,700
the system is really great.
And I've always He's wanted to
23
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,300
play it but just never found the
time or the people.
24
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,300
So it was nice.
Well, I do want to run it again
25
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:51,400
sometimes, so we'll give that
shot.
26
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,500
There's also a gumshoe
one-on-one thing.
27
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,600
I want to do, if we ever want to
do an episode with just be and
28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,400
one player, but that's a
conversation for another time.
29
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,500
You could kind of make it sound,
like an interrogation room.
30
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,800
You could do it that way.
That actually be kind of cool.
31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
That is extremely cool.
I didn't think about that
32
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,900
something.
Think about later.
33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,400
Yeah, somebody job.
Down, but hints for the future.
34
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,500
I'd like to hear in particular.
What did you think about the
35
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:19,600
characters that you were
playing?
36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
How did you feel?
Why did you make the choices
37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,700
that you're making for your
characters?
38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,600
How about you Nathan?
What did you think about your
39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000
artistic self?
Partially?
40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,700
I ended up picking Helen because
I just I really like the idea of
41
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,800
just an artist who's here to see
some fucked up.
42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,400
Shit that comes back to bite her
because Nothing good happens to
43
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,000
an artist and Lovecraft.
It just doesn't happen.
44
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,600
You're not going to make it out
of it with your sanity.
45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,900
Intact.
Which Helen very much didn't?
46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,600
Yeah, I guess I should say,
would you say, you picked Helen,
47
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,600
I provided you guys with a list
of.
48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000
I think it was six pre-made
characters, you to take a look
49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,500
at and you you settled on an
artistic Soul whose well, they
50
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:09,200
didn't make it.
Yeah, a lot of what went into
51
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000
hell and ended up just being how
I usually.
52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,000
React to situations where I just
I'm exasperated but I try to
53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,300
move on because we were in a
very exasperating situation on
54
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,000
account of the increasingly
sociopathic doctor.
55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,600
I found I found Helen to be a
really good sounding board for
56
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,700
all my crazy glad I could help.
Yeah, you sort of worked.
57
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:36,800
As, you know, nobody wants to be
the straight man, but it did
58
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,000
sort of that work.
As you were arguably, the, the
59
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,000
only, Saying man in the room or
woman as it were and then taking
60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,300
your life to get out of this
nonsense.
61
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,200
I like it near the end.
I just started.
62
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:55,100
I figured it's a One-Shot I can
afford to like just ignore game
63
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:59,000
mechanics and just have her go
absolutely crazy at the idea of
64
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:01,800
turning into one of these things
and I appreciate that.
65
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,700
And so I do feel a little bad
because I kind of just stopped
66
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:08,000
playing the game.
You know, I like to think I
67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,200
added something by just losing
it in the background.
68
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:15,200
I also Sighs when I really
listened to our last session
69
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,600
Helen Helen Helen Helen slit her
own throat, right?
70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Little bit.
That was a step in the end up
71
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,600
becoming a worm person thing.
So I might have accidentally.
72
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Whoops, I didn't think about
that, but yeah, that is one of
73
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,900
the steps to were modifying or
whatever it was hopefully the
74
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,200
lack of the other steps makes
it.
75
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,500
So that you know, Helen did not
Turn into a worm person and
76
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:47,000
instead just died as requested.
I mean, here's the thing.
77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Helen, you were always a warm
person.
78
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,500
You just didn't want to let it
out.
79
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,800
I'm pretty sure the Crux of my
character in the finale is that
80
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000
she did not want that just end
up up that shell off.
81
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,300
Well, you would be the expert
Dominic tell us about the
82
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:05,700
lovable Jonesy Jonesy is an
interesting character because
83
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,200
when we were selecting our
characters, it was he's between
84
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Jonesy or the dilettante and he
there was going to be someone
85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,800
that Slowly just broke over time
or someone that was kind while.
86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,900
Yeah, I'ma be honest, the
dilettante was just going to be
87
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:23,300
just a piece of work but I
didn't want to do that.
88
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:28,400
So I just went with someone that
would slowly lose every pillar
89
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,300
of whatever they hold on to
overtime.
90
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,600
So Jones, he's like, big pillar
was, you know, not well it was
91
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,400
like reporting reporting to the
authorities Britain, which I
92
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,200
didn't really We play into
because I'm not gonna, I'm not
93
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,600
British, I'm not British, and
I'm not going to pull that what
94
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,200
I was, it not Dick Van Dyke, who
played, who played The Chimney,
95
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,900
Sweeper in Mary Poppins?
No, that was a different guy.
96
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Like, oh yeah, yeah, I'm not
going to do that.
97
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,600
No, no sir, you know, a side
note, fun fact.
98
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,900
I ran into did Dick Van Dyke
once literally, I was a singer
99
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:10,100
in something called the candle
light Carol at Disneyland.
100
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:11,300
This is what I was in high
school.
101
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:17,600
And Dick Van Dyke was one of the
there's a bunch of people
102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,100
singing and then one person
comes out like a celebrity and
103
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,900
like does like a reading to go
along with it.
104
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,900
I was going to the bathroom and
the back of one of their little
105
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,200
stages where they had us all
crammed and he was coming out of
106
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,000
the bathroom as I was going in
and I literally bumped into a.
107
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,500
Yeah, yeah, seems like a nice
guy.
108
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,300
That's some deep Daniel.
Laura there, there's some Daniel
109
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,000
or yes.
And then there we go.
110
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,100
Mark that down in the Wiki, they
do this thing at Disneyland
111
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,200
called the candle light, Carol,
which is extremely religious
112
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,900
easy for Disney.
Sorry, I got sidetracked.
113
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,400
I heard Dick Van Dyke and had to
say my one celebrity story,
114
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,700
continue what you're doing, you
know what we got?
115
00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:00,000
We got the lure, we got the
lure, I'm gonna take that as a
116
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,900
lure check and I succeeded.
Um, so yeah, I just wanted to go
117
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:08,000
with someone that would break
over time.
118
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:12,800
And so, another big pillar was
he's gonna You get out of life
119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,900
regardless of whatever happens.
I definitely play that up at the
120
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:17,900
very end where I was like, you
know what?
121
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:23,000
This isn't worth it, I'm gone,
I'm done no more by but you
122
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,200
know, since he is a worm person,
he will hear the call and he
123
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600
will slowly make his way back
regardless, if he wants to or
124
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,700
not and how about are in some
ways maddest character?
125
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,700
Dr. Laws.
Well I enjoyed that.
126
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,500
The first thing I said was A
verbal typos with the brander
127
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:47,400
and going into it.
I knew I wanted to play someone
128
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:51,400
just sort of different than, you
know, how you usually play RPGs
129
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,200
and then I just kept passing
sanity checks.
130
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,300
Yeah, I thought it was a little
interesting.
131
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,000
How you were, like, I got what
you were doing, you were trying
132
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,400
to be like, oh, you know, a
little bit zany, a little bit
133
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,300
different, in a sort of way of
doing it.
134
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:09,300
But then, as you saw the story,
like going around that sort of
135
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:11,900
zaniness turned into something a
little bit more.
136
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Minutes late.
At least.
137
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,000
That's sort of how I saw it.
Oh, but I dropped hints all the
138
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,500
way through like early on.
They're talking about going to
139
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,200
the Ferry Landing like, oh,
excellent to Second location
140
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,900
towards the end.
I'm the only one succeeding at
141
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:29,400
lurking around a place and it's
like you guys have never done
142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,799
this before.
I will say this the slow
143
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:37,400
realization that it wasn't a bit
really stuck with me.
144
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,799
Like just slowly realizing wait,
he's just not just zany.
145
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,900
He's actually a sociopath.
I was making jokes but no, he's
146
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,000
genuinely insane.
Part of the reason I played it
147
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,100
that way actually comes from the
blades in the dirt game.
148
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,300
That most of us have been part
of and I was describing
149
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:58,500
something gruesome going on, but
with none of the weight that
150
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,300
that deserves.
And I really enjoyed how that
151
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,600
came up in the actual game.
I was like, I wonder if I can do
152
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,600
that here.
Just unfazed by the nightmare
153
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,800
around you it away.
That is rough, I guess.
154
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,500
The thing I do want to ask is
have you guys ever played much
155
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:21,600
like actual spooky Lovecraft or
horror e role-playing games for
156
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,800
with this sort of thing would
happen.
157
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,500
I have been the horror before I
played a game of Dragon Age
158
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,000
tabletop and I was coming into a
part way through.
159
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,500
I was like, well I'm sitting
there at the bar.
160
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,800
I've got a Thousand-Year here,
thousand-yard stare in my eyes
161
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,900
and I'm covered in blood.
Like, oh, something awful must
162
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:41,100
have happened to this guy as it
turns out.
163
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:47,000
No Oh, this guy is awful.
I believe my last game that
164
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
party decided to stay with me to
protect the world from my evil,
165
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:55,900
Good Times, Dominic Nathan, it
experience with a horror games
166
00:09:55,900 --> 00:10:00,100
before, not really.
Um, ya know, for the, for the
167
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:04,300
most part, I've I've always
liked I really like a lot of
168
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,600
different systems, but I've
never really had the people to
169
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,500
diversify with, but even then
horror was never really on my
170
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:15,600
radar until until you.
Basically asked any any of
171
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,900
everybody, if anybody want to
take part in this podcast and I
172
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:21,600
said, sure sounds like fun.
I know this guy, he likes
173
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,100
Godzilla.
I never really done any horror
174
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:27,300
tabletop RPGs before, but this
really went well.
175
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:31,800
So I'm in now I do like
Godzilla.
176
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:36,400
All right, glad to hear it and
how much you don't know.
177
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,200
Actually, if I've never played
any horde RPGs ever, I've
178
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200
always, I've always really
wanted to play.
179
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Delta green, but every time I
would try to convince people
180
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,600
that I normally play RPGs with
they're all like Delta green
181
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,600
know, that sounds boring.
I'd rather go slay monsters and
182
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,300
stuff and like will he do just
like X-Files, guys?
183
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:00,300
But you know, now it never it
never falls through.
184
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,800
So yeah, this is the first time
I've ever done a horror one.
185
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:08,100
Well, I have Delta green on the
list if I'm the big board of
186
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
things I want to get to.
So when we do that we'll have to
187
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,300
bring you back for that.
Whoo I definitely because
188
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,200
there's the one Mario that I
think is Infamous, which is the
189
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,300
one based in Vietnam.
That one's the one that I've
190
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:24,200
been eyeing the entire time,
there's a peak for the future.
191
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,100
As for me, I actually quite like
horror stuff.
192
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:30,000
I wish I could run horror stuff
all the time, which is why they
193
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
do podcasts, where I could do it
all day time.
194
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:36,400
I'll beat you guys help me with
my guest, of course, but it's
195
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,500
got my name on it.
I actually have run this
196
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:44,100
scenario in particular once
before it was actually Three,
197
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:47,800
one of my favorite role playing
gate experiences I ever had,
198
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,200
which is why I wanted to start
off this one with this pretty
199
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,400
good scenario.
You may have heard way back at
200
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,400
the day.
It's not that far back in the
201
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:06,300
day, but I did a couple of
episodes on the podcast Friday
202
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:10,300
night quest, where I ran a
couple of like spooky games for
203
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,400
them as like sort of a one-off
thing and I had a pretty good
204
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,400
time with that.
And I just have always wanted to
205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,900
do that.
I it started as a thing where I
206
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:23,200
would run, I would try to run
like a Halloween game for my
207
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,500
regular D&D group.
And now it's just sort of become
208
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,600
the wanting to just run horror
stuff all the time.
209
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:32,600
I think it's really good,
especially for one shot side
210
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,900
horror campaign would be a
little bit more difficult.
211
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:38,000
But 41 Shots I really like that.
You can just like go in and know
212
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,500
that like mmmm maybe we're not
getting through this one.
213
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:43,100
And I think that's a, that's a
really fun time.
214
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,200
I see.
Bo's.
215
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,800
I've also played a game of alien
with you and I drank a
216
00:12:47,808 --> 00:12:49,700
xenomorph.
That was pretty good.
217
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,500
Oh yeah, we did play that.
Oh yeah.
218
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,700
I got blown apart.
Yeah.
219
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,400
There was a little alien gave
Iran for a couple of you folks
220
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,000
that didn't go.
Well, it went great.
221
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,500
I missed this one.
Yeah.
222
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Well, we'll be running some
alien on the show as well.
223
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,100
I've actually run it a personal
alien game right now with a
224
00:13:11,108 --> 00:13:15,300
couple of folks, kind of a
training For the the show.
225
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,400
Are you doing the space?
Truckers one?
226
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,700
Or are you doing the colonial
Marines?
227
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:23,200
One, I'm doing a colonial marine
one right now because I've done
228
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,800
that space trucker 14.
I'm trying to Colonial Marine
229
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,000
One.
Okay.
230
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400
So is that one going to be a
long-standing campaign?
231
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,200
Or is that going to be kind of
like the one shot because like,
232
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,300
I've always heard that people
that run the colonial Marines.
233
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,700
One, it turns into like it's
like it starts off as a
234
00:13:37,708 --> 00:13:40,400
One-Shot, they're like, everyone
survived, let's just do another
235
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,900
one.
See if I can kill off more and
236
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:46,000
then, you know, a year later.
Oh well, let me tell you this.
237
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:50,700
We've played one episode so far.
I think if the ideas was going
238
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:53,200
to break it up or three
sections, one person is already
239
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,700
dead.
So they're not all making it
240
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:59,300
through aliens thereof, but
enough about another gave in the
241
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:01,300
future.
I do want to mention that you
242
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:04,000
guys did a little better than
the first time.
243
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,200
I ran this game, only one person
survived the.
244
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,200
First time I played this
scenario, the dance of the blood
245
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,300
you guys to people survived the
light Argue.
246
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,700
That's not a good thing for one
of their cases.
247
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,400
Oh, yeah.
No definitely.
248
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,300
No, it's bad.
No, no, that's bad.
249
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:22,200
There was though there was no
happy ending for this.
250
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,100
I do quite admire the fact not
admire.
251
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800
I think it's very interesting
that you guys would explicitly
252
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,300
like player versus player near
the end.
253
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,200
What I played this before, I
just had, I had one person set
254
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,100
themselves on fire in the house
along with all the documents to
255
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:40,700
make sure that it wouldn't get
out again.
256
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:44,900
And then another person was
right about, Out to sacrifice
257
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:48,300
their brother, and instead
killed themselves to make it.
258
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,200
So that they wouldn't have to do
that.
259
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,200
Where is our doctor laws?
Ran.
260
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Headfirst into it loving every
minute of it.
261
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,300
Absolutely.
So anything else you think that
262
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:03,600
the world needs to know about
our first season?
263
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:08,000
Thank you for listening.
Yeah, I I'm sure I had a million
264
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,900
things lined up in my head, but
now that you have called upon
265
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:15,300
them, like Keyser Soze someone
has to And that reference right?
266
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:18,100
Is that what Keyser Soze is?
I think I've only ever seen the
267
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:21,900
end of that movie?
Okay, well, I'm referencing the
268
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:27,100
end of that movie.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't II
269
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,300
actually, don't, The Usual
Suspects poof, like they were
270
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:32,900
never there gone.
Oh, that's what you beat.
271
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,400
It was like, it was never there.
I thought you were saying, you
272
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000
put a bunch of Clues together
and realize, well, no spoilers
273
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,800
for that.
I am put nothing together.
274
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,500
I'll now that you said that you
said the movie.
275
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,700
Oh no, you just oh no.
What have youd, Nathan?
276
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,800
What have you done?
Hopefully, no one's gonna put
277
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,600
that together.
If you don't if you don't know
278
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,400
the ending of The Usual Suspects
that's on you the movies
279
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,500
overrated.
Anyway.
280
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,300
Well whoa the like the twist of
that is phenomenal.
281
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,800
You don't want to give people
the the heads up.
282
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:12,100
Well I think it's vague.
I think it's vague enough.
283
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:18,300
I think we're good.
There, everybody knows book.
284
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,600
Sometimes, there's got to be a
statute of limitations on
285
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,600
spoiler.
I went and saw the King Kong
286
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,300
remake when it was out in
theaters.
287
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:30,300
I went with one of my roommates
at the time, the words King Kong
288
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:33,400
pops up at the screen and they
jokingly leaned over and
289
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,900
whispered to my buddy, Jeff,
Jeffrey my brother.
290
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:39,200
I hear he dies at the end of
this.
291
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,600
And he was like, whoa, dude,
you're spoiling it for me.
292
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,500
And I said each King Kong, dude.
There's a statute of limitations
293
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:51,900
on this stuff.
You know, he climbs up the
294
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,100
building.
Did you think he was gonna climb
295
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,000
down?
That'll be quite the twist.
296
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,900
It's the same.
It's just a faster.
297
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,000
Steps.
Speed climbing?
298
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,300
Yes, he fell down that's
different than climbing because
299
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:08,500
I meant to say the King Kong
remake which one like my brain
300
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,300
immediately went by like you
Kong Skull Island.
301
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:14,700
Peter Jackson's King Kong.
No, no, no.
302
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,000
The one that was just King Kong
Jackson's.
303
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
King Kong.
Now, the one with Jack Black.
304
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,400
Yeah.
Because they're the actual
305
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,700
climbs up a building at that
one.
306
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,200
His doesn't he climb a building
in Congress?
307
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Is Godzilla 2 and then the
scaling gets really, really
308
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,000
weird.
Yeah, look, they had to make it
309
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,400
big enough to fight Godzilla.
It's fine.
310
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200
You see, trying to think about
scaling.
311
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,500
In a Kaiju movie is a Fool's
errand, and the only thing
312
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,600
you'll get out of it is a
headache and slightly.
313
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:41,600
Less Fun.
And why would you want either of
314
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,300
those things?
Yeah, that's always the thing
315
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:48,400
that's funny.
If you like really start going
316
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,200
deep into like Kaiju stuff
people talk.
317
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,600
When this God, this movie,
Godzilla's X meters tall, but in
318
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,700
this one, he's like taller, and
it's like oh, who cares, man?
319
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,500
It's fine.
Whatever.
320
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,300
What the before this turns into
a Kaiju podcast which some
321
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,900
people might want to listen to,
but I think most people would
322
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:12,700
like to skip.
I That we will call it though.
323
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,100
I do want to just throw out real
quick.
324
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:18,000
Thank you so much for sticking
around and listening to our
325
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,300
first season.
It's really great to know that
326
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:24,600
people are listening and a
really other great thing to do
327
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,100
would be for you to review our
podcast.
328
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:31,300
And I say that kind of as a
joke.
329
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:34,800
But like seriously it really
helps the podcast pop off and
330
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,100
get the word out there.
So please review us on your
331
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,800
podcast platform of choice.
Though.
332
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,100
Ideally, maybe do it on Apple?
ITunes, I really like iTunes.
333
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,100
But fact, that's how people get
stuff out there.
334
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,200
You just want to pop up Res.
Anything you want to do?
335
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,900
Just just, yeah, I would put
this stuff together and I hope
336
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,400
you'd like it and I just wish
more people could hear it.
337
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,600
So thanks everybody.
Oh, I got to say something
338
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,300
spooky.
I've been saying a spook related
339
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:03,300
things at the ends of episodes.
Oh goodness.
340
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:07,700
Oh, might I suggest spooky
Licious spook a Licious.
341
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,700
Ooh, please don't say.
A spooky lucious.
342
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,700
I mean you are we've had two
people say that word now.
343
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:19,900
So I will say it as well.
Have a spooky Licious day boil
344
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:25,000
schools and and Bruce that's a
stretch.
345
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,200
Sounds like it's starting dirty,
when you.
346
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,900
All right, all right, I'm out.
