Ampum ad omnicidum"An area-effect that prevents quantum fluctuations in a given area."
Yeah, that's absurd, everything that exists is a quantum fluctuation. This field would utterly destroy everything.
Saves you 33 hours of what though? Staring at a screen?Technically unless you're immortal you only have a finite amount of time before you die.
You could save an infinite amount of time by not playing a cookie clicker game.
Sounds like the DM has no sense of humor. I would have had a BLAST with Old Man Henderson. The OBVIOUS plot twist to diffuse Henderson would have been to actually HAVE 40k worth of lawn gnomes turn up, removing Henderson's motive. The DM wasn't thinking like an Eldritch Horror Elder God, and clearly didnt read all of lovecraft properly. Yog Sothoth is the eldritch horror of forbidden knowledge, secrets, and means of circumventing obstacles. He's almost universially emplored in Lovecraft's short stories, and exists outside all time and space. When confronted with such an unknowable madness as Henderson, the "Logical" thing for a cultist that's into summoning unspeakable horrors to do, would be to invoke said deity-- Especially since Derleth casts Hastur as one of Yog Sothoth's children. Yog Sothoth's powers are quite literally unlimited, and have been invoked for FAAAR stranger things than the summoning/creation of 40k worth of demonic lawn ornaments, conjured up for the sole, express purpose of killing Henderson after he "rescues" them.Thing is, it was the fact that the DM was such a buzzkill that drove Henderson's player into a fell mood in the first place.
If I were the GM of this particular magnum opus, I would TOTALLY have created more interesting antagonist characters, and given long and hard thought on how to use Henderson's infinite font of madness against him.
