I was so entertained that I ordered it after listening to a couple of sessions.<br /><br />Even though I listened to the campaigns as they were released, I still bought my own copy of this DVD so I could listen again (which I've done a few time). <br /><br />I still can't stop laughing during the Masks campaign whenever Maddie is introduced to an NPC as "the inventor of the photographization process".<br /><br />I didn't know that Masks was being reprinted either, but you can bet your sweet bippy I'll be getting a copy. Every time I listen to one of the Bradford Players' campaigns it makes me want to buy my own, but unfortunately I don't do PDFs.<br /><br />Since the DVD, the Bradford Players have also completed Walker in the Wastes, and are part way through Tatters of the King.Newbunklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968001773310852246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-61732722456456597282010-04-22T20:37:25.058-04:002010-04-22T20:37:25.058-04:00Didn't know Masks was being released again.

This is a fan written volume devoted to expanding, developing, and supporting the campaign. It is very well done, even if I say so myself, and I am both co-editor and contributor.pookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-42285716903757546622010-04-22T16:09:21.036-04:002010-04-22T16:09:21.036-04:00Also, Jason: Chaosium is reprinting Masks this yea...Also, <b>Jason</b>: Chaosium is reprinting Masks this year!

Well worth a listen. As James points out, it's actually pretty gratifying to hear a group of hardcore CoC players still having fun with wisecracks, OOC comments, running injokes, and so forth. When I was younger, I'd always fret my group wasn't "doing it right" when we played Cthulhu or other would-be serious games.<br /><br />Another benefit I got out of listening to the games was, frankly, a dry run of two campaigns I still hope to run some day. When I do, I'll have an idea of how the campaigns actually play out, as well as some ideas to steal and other ideas of what <i>not</i> to do. ;)<br /><br />Of the extras, my favorite was the interview with Greg Stafford. His summation of the first game of Call of Cthulhu ever played at Chaosium is hilarious!David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-75840536034029442172010-04-22T16:07:18.249-04:002010-04-22T16:07:18.249-04:00Tsk, another reminder that I just don't have a...Tsk, another reminder that I just don't have a copy of Masks. I just don't see the worth in a $30 PDF - I'd rather pay more for print in that case. Oh well, at least there are people out there still getting to enjoy it.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320444125159566443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-59392808929920363952010-04-22T13:57:48.126-04:002010-04-22T13:57:48.126-04:00I don't know how many solid hours I can devote...I don't know how many solid hours I can devote to listening to gameplay (really, now long are those sessions?), but the extras sound worth every penny.Kevin Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122665488285424578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-35553129654668538662010-04-22T13:25:07.296-04:002010-04-22T13:25:07.296-04:00Excellent, thanks for the review and bringing this...Excellent, thanks for the review and bringing this product to my attention.
