Conrad: Do you know how heavy my armour is?
Nick: The answer is too heavy.
Conrad: Exactly, now let me eat my damn bacon.
Nick: The pancakes are delicious.
Conrad: Wait, wait, hold on, hold.
James: He puts his hands out to the people on either side of him.
Axe: Are you seriously going to have him do his lay-on-hands, before the morning ticks over.
Max: No, he's saying grace.
James: Bring it in.
Axe: Bring it in?
(Laughter across the board)
James:Uh, Conrad used to be a youth minister.

Travis: "God... a VHS of a video with a clown in it arriving mysteriously in the mail from Canada? You better believe that's going in the middle of the highway, not in my house. Rebecca is nodding at me right now."

Perhaps I'll just send him a "totes-not-Cursed" video file of that. Save on postage.

Axe: The line is mostly broken up by Ork Bombaz...

(I legit thought Axe said Orkobamas: Ork+Obama. That's gotta be a thing somewhere...)

Dunno if Luffy got this one, but...

Josh/Grimhild: "Alright my logic is: She's an Old Woman in Stensia..."

I'd be interested to hear DnU run Monster of the Week or Spirit of 77.

The general overview is that you have your location, then you have Threats that are more focused on the players, and you have a Doom, which is an overarching threat that will trigger the bad ending if left to run its course. The investigators are trying to survive long enough to work out what the Doom is and stop it.

In my last game, this resulted in the group betraying another player to sacrifice them to the big threat. That was...interesting.

One question: Recorded?

Have you checked out Tremulous? It's a PbTA reskin for Lovecraftian mythos and it's more investigation-heavy, with a system for generating your town and populating it with threats. It might be worth a look if you're trying to find a system that balances crunch with flexibility.

I had heard of it before but wasn't sure how it worked. My group also really enjoys PbtA games since I introduced MotW. A thing I've found with MotW is it was hard to create a "pure" horror atmosphere due to the capabilities of the characters. But if this one is more set up for that aspect, could be worth a look.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to address to the players that this is an experience set of games over the usually "pulpy" horror games.

Another thing I feel I should consider is which system to use? I would want to use original Call of Cthulhu RPG (or the D20 one my group is used to) but perhaps a rules-lighter one and possibly a much more lethal one due to it's simplicity: Cthulhu Dark. The downside to the rules-light system is that my players tend not to take the games as serious if there isn't some kind of crunchier feel to it. But it would be a more suitable functionary to the whole "Everyones going to die!" themes.

So, alternatively a Delta Green type situation of dealing with the incidents that arise out of the stories? Perhaps a Department of Disaster Assessment or Investigation? A group to just send agents out to investigate these odd accidents and incidents? 

I suppose Im trying for bricolage, to refer to a recent episode of Ugly Talk. It's definitely of interest to me, even before I knew the term. I'd like to take the stories or horrors from them and just play with them for a fun set of horror games. Ultimately, it'd probably end up as a meat grinder yes, bordering on probably scary canary levels of weird horror.

Using the stories more as inspiration rather than using the material at hand isn't entirely what I have in mind for my treatment of it. Though I'm totally open to discussing it as fodder for game ideas. Discussing ideas deriving inspiration from it's concepts rather than directly pulling from the material is always cool. While I may not be going in that direction, this has already had me thinking on how to adapt my desire for this campaign to fit a formula more suited to it.

Also with regards to an off interpretations, I'm reminded of "Uzamaki" the film, where the Spiral was more or less summed up to a snake cult... for some reason.
