The hilarious actual-play live show switches out stand-up comedians for TTRPG creators to ridiculously deconstruct "The World's Greatest Horror Roleplaying Game."
Hilarity meets horror. Dan Taylor, Game Master of the live show featuring comedians playing tabletop roleplaying games on comedy club stages, will task tabletop roleplaying game creators and writers to face the challenges of an extra pulpy iteration of the Call With Cthulhu Roelplaying Game.
Based upon the worlds of H. P. Lovecraft, this actual-play presentation will have ttrpg creators acting as pulpy of steadfast investigators travelling to pulpy strange and dangerous places, uncover pulpy foul plots, and stand against the pulpy terrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. You can count on pulpy sanity-blasting entities, pulpy monsters, and pulpy insane cultists. Within strange and forgotten pulpy tomes of pulpy lore they will discover revelations that man was not meant to know, and may very well decide the fate of the world. The pulpy world. There will be audience participation and giveaways. Roll for hilarity! Rated PG-13 by the RPGCRA (Roleplaying Game Code and Rating Administration—it's not a real thing).

Special Guest

Dan Taylor

Introduced to Dungeons & Dragons in 1977 (along with Star Wars, Atari, and The Hobbit), Dan has been a gaming nerd ever since. He is the creator, producer, game master (and sometimes player) of Catacombs & Comedians, which features stand-up comedians sitting down at a table live on stage for an actual-play experience in comedy clubs throughout the Midwest and South. At conventions, he tasks TTRPG creators and personalities to do the same in front of con attendees. Besides D&D, Catacombs & Comedians has made a joke of Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart, Traveller, and other tabletop roleplaying games. He also wrote the Klingon sidebar/fluff material for Modiphius' Star Trek: Adventures. (Yes, even Klingons need written fluff.) Outside the TTRPG-verse, Dan's creative endeavours include co-creating the fan-favorite comic book (Super) Hero Happy Hour and serving as Editor at IDW Publishing on titles such as Star Trek, The Transformers, and 30 Days of Night. Dan has also written the swashbuckling novella, Pirat Tales: Legend of the Cat o' Nine Tails, featuring rats as pirates. Dan lived the first 50 years of his life in Southern California before moving to the Nashville, TN area, where he now lives with his wife, daughter, two dogs, and two cats.
