🎥✨ Today I learned that I am absolutely not an expert with cameras 😅 But honestly? I kind of love it.

Despite my questionable photography skills, I got to be part of a full Chaosium Inc. actual play production. Real lights, real mics, real crew.

As always Call of Cthulhu was chaotic, exciting, a little surreal, and completely unforgettable.

Blurry photo, crystal‑clear joy. A shout to the cameraman of the 2nd photo Scryglass Studio for capturing a silly moment.
