I ran the campaign in 2018 and don't remember the race of the NPCs being important.

Has anyone else run Of Wrath and Blood? How did it end for you and your investigators?
I ran the Yog Sothoth version 3 or 4 years ago and my players had a great time. The paranoid detective wound up executing the possessed child in the ghoul pit on the first sight of a ghoul attack. One fled in a bout of madness and began shooting at passersby in the cemetery.

I never had the opportunity to meet Greg, but the games his company makes have been a big part of my life over the past couple of years. His work has meant a lot to me and many others.

It took about 14 hours total for my group to finish Chapter 1, including intro and character creation. We probably could have done it in 11 hours without losing anything important, but less than that and we would have been cutting out good stuff.

My critique to push roll with simulated numbers.
in Call of Cthulhu

This assumes the cost of a failed pushed roll does not substantially outweigh the value of a successful roll. Instead, the negative value of a fail is often relatively unknown and therefore not something that players can act upon with perfect information. There is no dominant strategy due to a lack of ability to evaluate costs and benefits. The odds are clear, but without a possible value for each option, there is no possible expected value calculation. For example, imagine the following scenario.
Roll a 100 sided die. If you roll a 50 or lower, you succeed, and you will be given an amount of money. If you fail, you may either do nothing, and there will be no consequences, or you may roll again. If you roll again and succeed, you will be given that same amount of money. If you fail the second roll you will be forced to pay an amount of money. Is rerolling a good deal? The answer is that there is no way to know without defining the specific amounts.
