In episode 68, Jon, Chad and Dan get together and geek out about the beautiful horror contained within the eldritch electrons of the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition! There's a lot of general discussion about the Core Rulebook as well as narrowing the talk to a few of the key new or modified features we can play with.
