Patreon supporters submit imaginative episode titles, and the players at the table roll dice to randomly choose one as a narrative start point. Then halfway through, Bryant \u201cpushes the roll,\u201d adding a second randomly selected title that upends the episode\u2019s plot in real time. The result is unpredictable, character\u2011first horror told at the speed of improv.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn <em>Push The Roll<\/em> our fans get to spark the premise, and we discover the story together at the table,\u201d said player and show producer Corbin Cupp. \u201cIt\u2019s playful, it\u2019s tense, and really celebrates what we love about <em>Call of Cthulhu<\/em> games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A rotating ensemble of improvisers and tabletop favorites joins Bryant across the season, including Brennan Lee Mulligan, Ashly Burch, Becca Scott, Matthew Lillard, Colton Dunn, Abubakar Salim, Josephine McAdam, Ify Nwadiwe, Mark Meer, Rekha Shankar, Vic Michaelis, and more.<\/p>\n<p><em>Push the Roll<\/em> is designed for both newcomers and long\u2011time fans of tabletop roleplaying games.
