#47 - Anthony from The Daily DM returns for his third appearance on Claim to Game. We start with Call of Cthulhu, one of the most popular TTRPGs worldwide, breaking down why it works so well for horror, suspense, and cosmic dread. Anthony shares advice for running unforgettable one-shots, from Halloween showstoppers to eerie additions in long-running campaigns, plus stories from The Haunt series for D&D 5E. To wrap up, Anthony tackles the Rapid Fire Holiday Round, recommending systems and adventure hooks for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and more. Seasonal scares and festive fun, all in one episode.
