Push The Roll with Ross Bryant
Push the Roll with Ross Bryant is an improvised comedy-horror podcast where friends from across the TTRPG community come together to create spontaneous Call of Cthulhu adventures. Each episode starts by rolling against a random table of title suggestions from our Patreon community. From there the story unfolds, completely unscripted and always weird.
How It Works:
Patreon supporters submit episode titles each month. Ross Bryant (Dropout TV, The Glass Cannon Network) and special guests then bring one of these suggestions to life in real-time, creating hilariously unpredictable adventures. At some point during each session, the cast will "push the roll," introducing another Patreon-submitted title into the mix for added chaos.

The Obverse of the Mirror - Part 1
The group dives into a completely improvised Call of Cthulhu story set in Victorian England. A croquet champion, an occult shopkeeper, a Pinkerton agent, and a decadent artist find themselves drawn into the orbit of a strange aristocrat with a disturbing new acquisition. What begins as witty banter over beauty and decadence soon takes a darker turn when the artifact is unveiled.

What is Push the Roll with Ross Bryant?
Welcome to Push the Roll with Ross Bryant, our improvised comedy-horror actual play podcast. We use Call of Cthulhu to tell stories that are as unpredictable as they are unsettling.

We explain how Patreon-suggested titles become the heart of each series, what happens when we ?push the roll? midway through, and why we think this show will keep you guessing and laughing all the way through. Near the end, we even roll for a listener suggested title to show you how the openings of these episodes work.
