Given no one is equipped, I believe it could stand for Damage Resistance (DR) similar to Armor Class (AC)? The DR for William Cloque-Overton, Sr. is a 2 meaning only a Natural 1 would miss (however it does say that no roll is necessary with an attempt to destroy him with an item from the Tool Room). All other characters have a DR of 10 or 11.

PDM - Thanks for what looks to be a great game. I can't wait to read through and play it. I know just the group. They never played an RPG, but they love film noir/horror, so maybe this will be a gateway drug to other RPG's.

Great review, I will probably pick up a copy just for the mechanics. Took me a minute but I just got the nom de plume, Dan Masters... DM... Dungeon Master. DB glad you said what everyone was thinking about the hair. Normally when you go insane your hair turns white, PDM must be going through a mid-life thing, -2 to PDM's Gravitas stat. <8oD ;) :)

By the way, I noticed a possible style issue on page 12, in 'The Ivory Box' inset. The text mentions Miskatonic university, should not the, U, in university be capitalized, as Miskatonic University is a proper name?

PDM, which video was it where you described playing the dumb jock who needed to stay the night in your great uncle's house while playing at a convention? This vid reminded of that and I wanted to watch it again.

What DID happen to your hair PDM!? :D

Matthew Crismali

Yeah, I want to see a short video dedicated to the story of what happened to the hair - for patrons only of course!

I have never played an HP Lovecraft based RPG and I honestly don't know any players who would be interested in this type of game. Despite all that, I went ahead and purchased Eldritch Hack in support of Dan. The game looks great and I'd love to find a way to get it to the table!

What is the "DR" stat on the pre-made character sheets included with Cloque House? I don't see DR defined anywhere. Also, on page 9 of Cloque House, there is mention of "DC 15" twice - should that say "TN 15"? I don't see mention of DC in the rules, but it would make sense as the Target Number (TN). Thanks, Dan!

PDM, I really like Eldritch Hack over the Call of Cthulhu rules. The Cloque House senario seems exciting from the videos of your players enjoying the game back when it came out and the PDF is really nice. However, because I can't seem to leave things alone, I want to try to play it with a bastardized version adapting EZD6 mechanics if possible and see how it goes. Anyway, great video and keep up the great work!

Think I spotted a typo on page 16 under the entry for Doctor Herbert West: "Can create zombies with a green glowing serum he invented into a corpse". Should that say "injected" rather than "invented"?

MrGunn

Picked up my copy of Eldritch Hack, I like it. High quality art and layout, a few typos here and there, but solid.

Why can't I see the live play of this ? Did you add unlockable content for the 15 dollar membership? I have the 10 dollar which is supposed to get everything. Thanks

Powell Crider

I looked for the live play too. It's been stolen!!!
