Episode 128 - Tabletop Game Theory Pt. IV: The Russian Interference (7/26/17)
Added 2017-07-27 01:15:29 +0000 UTCI am the game, you don't want to play me
I am control, no way you can change me
I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me
I am the pain and I know you can't take me
Comments
I know I’m not the first to inquire the music selection, but the dark ambient music you’ve used in eps 1-4 is perfect for Call of Cthulhu. I’ve wanted to find it all to use in my own sessions. If anyone knows, please inform me!

2017-11-26 18:26:21 +0000 UTCi listen to this episode once a week. also i cant tell you how amazing the ending song is. i literally picture McClaine singing it

2017-09-19 13:44:41 +0000 UTCNot a fan of your other Tabletop episodes, but this one was awesome. I died when you started describing a furry coming down from the sky accompanied by Neon Genesis opener

2017-08-04 14:34:32 +0000 UTCyes please make a spin off so CTH fans don't have to listen to tabletop GT
jv
2017-08-03 21:31:37 +0000 UTCI would happily pay an additional $5 a month to hear the Capone Speakeasy spin off show. These gaming episodes are brilliant. I look forward to Will developing his character into a self published fan fiction novel, as is his destiny.
Justin Kirkland
2017-08-03 21:05:58 +0000 UTCThis was great. I liked it A LOT more than the Pizza-gate one. I think a ton of credit has to go to Brendan on this one. The music and sound design was fantastic INCLUDING how it just cut out whenever Matt started banging his head on the fourth wall. There were many genuinely LOL moments, but I think the best is at the end where Matt genuinely/disbelievingly asks, "The cum jar??" followed by Virgil's impatient, final straw, "NO!" I've never role-played, but I think I finally get it. It seems super dependent on a good DM, and Virgil knocked it out of the park with this one.

Andy Karas
2017-08-03 00:29:17 +0000 UTCThe Book of Eibon was HPL's sharing of his correspondent Clark Ashton Smith's mythos. CAS was slightly less racist, a real alcoholic, but much much more sexually decadent than HPL. His stories "The Coming of the White Worm" "The Door of Saturn" "Ubbo-Sathla." The Double Shadow Podcast is dedicated to reading from and commenting on CAS's work. Weird fiction fans should check it out. But no politics.

2017-08-03 00:14:03 +0000 UTCThe fight over who gets Ivanka and Matt's frustration with his abilities made me rofl.

...
2017-08-02 22:18:37 +0000 UTCI admire Matt's commitment to not meta-gaming even if it seemed like it caused him physical angst
Phillip Millspaw
2017-07-31 20:58:44 +0000 UTCThese are awesome! I would subscribe to a podcast that is entirely these games.
Sarah Legeza
2017-07-31 19:00:51 +0000 UTCI'll settle for givin money to an overtly political comedy podcast. I already subscribe to cum town for my uncut Colombian jokes
Kevin Beteta
2017-07-31 17:49:58 +0000 UTCIf you want political commentary, read a fucking book
Garett Miller
2017-07-31 17:13:16 +0000 UTCHonestly I feel like these episodes should be supplemented by normal episodes just like Felix's solo eps are in addition to vanilla content. I mean I'm sure Virgil puts in a lot of effort into this but the rest of you are just playing a fucking board game with microphones. I like these episodes but it does leave me with dirtbag left blue balls. I pay you for your political commentaries not because I just think you're great fun guys I want to pretend that I'm hanging out with for 2 hours a week
Kevin Beteta
2017-07-31 15:17:14 +0000 UTCthis was the funniest shit ever i love you people
Allyson D
2017-07-31 15:10:50 +0000 UTC^^^ Felix's white spoken-word jazz is one of the funniest parts of these IMO. The "windowpane" line was a great parody of spoken-word/slam cliches
Sam Tjahjono
2017-07-31 02:46:43 +0000 UTCWell, the episode they just released has Tim back on board, so there ya go. I say the more diversity in ep content, the better

2017-07-30 19:51:58 +0000 UTCScience fiction and gaming are both bad. A couple of these was fine but if this is like 1/3 of yalls ouput now idk. Free cush

Ian Renfro
2017-07-30 13:07:51 +0000 UTCThis was so good, a classic moment that happens in RPG's is when players don't know what to do. Major League Gaming DYE POOI
Tony Brut
2017-07-30 07:11:51 +0000 UTCAlso excellent satire, which I could enjoy despite limited exposure to and zero investment in the Lovecraft universe (never actually read him). a timely critique of dark and paranoid narratives.
Martin Kasey
2017-07-30 03:49:59 +0000 UTCI fucking love these and Ive never played a table top game and I don't know what Twitter is. Maybe listening context is important? I listen lying down and just get totally absorbed like I'm reading a really weird novel
Martin Kasey
2017-07-30 02:59:19 +0000 UTCI don't enjoy these, don't do too many please
jv
2017-07-29 23:23:02 +0000 UTCAmendment: bring on Tim Foust to tabletop yourselves into obscurity.
Samuel Roberts
2017-07-29 20:30:13 +0000 UTCAlong similar lines: whose recording is that of The Planets? I liked the conductor's choices with the rubato at the end there. (Ideally year/conductor/orchestra if you have it, bc finding classical music recordings can be super-weird)
Samuel Roberts
2017-07-29 20:28:36 +0000 UTCSo good do more

2017-07-29 03:31:57 +0000 UTCThese episodes are maybe the best and most imaginitive thing that you have done. I love them. They are funny, surreal and eerie at the same time. Don't listen to the whiners. Great job Virgil GMing and Brendan with the sick audio. To all the crybabies who don't get this show format: The problem is with you, who have not read HPL of played tabletop RPGs. The show is not boring, YOU ARE BORING.
Ilias
2017-07-28 23:45:13 +0000 UTCyour boring

2017-07-28 18:32:57 +0000 UTCIf you are a big enough nerd to listen to irony political podcasts you are a big enough of a nerd to enjoy irony role playing
ah
2017-07-28 16:27:16 +0000 UTCthey do two novelty shows a year you goddamn nerds, have a sense of proportion
doohoohoo
2017-07-28 15:54:34 +0000 UTCI love you all, but this is boring. You can't just tabletop game yourself back into obscurity, now that you are big fucking deal. Bring Tim Faust to talk about single payer.

Allan Castellon
2017-07-28 04:02:34 +0000 UTCOh god this is amazing. Never stop doing this. the way it just started to collapse around mclain and the jar dick reminds me so much about so many campaigns that I played in. this if fucking great.
Save The World
2017-07-28 03:57:51 +0000 UTCI don’t mind this game or whatever it is. I haven’t listened to any of them though so idk really. But there’s just so much going on in the political world that I would like to hear you guys talk about instead of doing this.

2017-07-28 03:00:05 +0000 UTCENOUGH ALREADY
Twitter user Duck Honkin
2017-07-28 02:31:00 +0000 UTCFuck the haters, the Cthulhu games are hilarious and *extremely irony-less nerd voice* very well written roleplaying adventures. Virgil is a great GM and all the investigators are becoming real characters. Also, all of Matt's frustrations are what make this real pen-and-paper Cthulhu hours. These are Art.
Ben Huber
2017-07-28 02:03:56 +0000 UTCI have to say I am genuinely grateful that these two episodes are taking place around one of the biggest MSM controversies regarding Chapo Trap house. The less credence given to this bullshit the better

HT Dong
2017-07-27 13:53:14 +0000 UTCWhen Virgil alluded to Matt's powerful artifact and he said with genuine confusion "the cum jar?" I laughed so hard I started gagging
Kyle LoPinto
2017-07-27 13:41:51 +0000 UTCThese were hilarious, replace Matt with someone who won't be a whiny bitch next time though.
Dan Collins
2017-07-27 12:42:52 +0000 UTCYou guys are high as a kite and it's hilarious to listen. I consider this not boring, but only in the abstract art sense. I rate it in between Warhol's Heat and Damon's Gerry... unsure leaning which way.. but definitely in between.
Jonathan Hart
2017-07-27 09:20:25 +0000 UTCThe tabletop eps are incredible and I hope Mr Texas and the boys keep going with them. I get that they're divisive and you should stick to only doing them once a year or so, but honestly the tabletop eps rank among my all-time favourites
SF
2017-07-27 09:06:38 +0000 UTCI think Chapo should do whatever they want. I also think this was incredibly boring. Matt speaks for me.
Les Doodis
2017-07-27 08:59:59 +0000 UTCadding a comment in support of these. you guys do them once in a blue moon which is a great balance for ppl who don't like it vs people like me who get entertainment out of it. these eps are a tribute to the theme of gaming that is often a gag on left twitter + chapo. if you've played tabletop games you will probably enjoy these
