General Discussion / The Eldritch Horror Thread!
« on: March 02, 2015, 05:21:09 am »
As the most loudmouthed of Bay12's resident unfathomable eldritch beings, it seems obvious that I make this thread. So!
This is a thread about discussing eldritch abominations, for example your ideas or concepts of a dread being that you wanted some feedback on, questions about an existing character, or maybe just talking about an existing setting or something. This includes all of H.P Lovecraft's works, as he did a lot for representing us here. Thanks, Howard.
Standard forum rules apply, don't post any illegal stuff, no tentacle porn please, if an argument gets heated just take a step back from the screen and calm down, then come back and talk; etcetera, we're all relatively decent connoisseurs of madness, so dig in!

True.
I need to get reacquainted with the sci-fi side of Lovecraft, I just got enthralled with the Dreamlands after reading Quest to Unknown Kadath. It's such a cool way to incorporate a fantasy setting into an existing cosmic horror one and have it be believable!
Anyhow, I think this is a derail, since the thread is supposed to be about an Elder God game. I'll make a Lovecraft/etc thread in GD if no one objects?

« on: March 02, 2015, 05:07:44 am »How would the Yith have a truce with anything? At the first sign of danger they timewarp away to a safer species, it's how they've survived for so long.Huh. I'm reading through Lovecraft's stuff right now, so I might find it, but he and his spawn only ever warred against the Elder Things far as I know....where was this? What work was it in? All I've heard about why he slept/died was because the universe shifted to a configuration such that it was impossible for him to live, so he slept in R'yleh until the stars were right again.
Ohh gawd! going to make me untangle the confusing mess that is all the lovecraft books huh?
It would probably be one that spoke about the Migo because to my knowledge they are the ones who did it.
Well also the Yith, though they had a truce for the most part.

Considering I can generally do around 70 without stopping, that'd be 4.6 push-ups a second.
Damn, I must be jacked or whatever they call it.

Yeah, there are some that aren't complete assholes and even occasionally help out people when it suits them.
Sometimes.

Essentially yeah. The whole point of Lovecraft's thing was that humanity is so insignificant that it basically goes unnoticed in the cosmos, save of course for the pissed off trickster god/soul of Azathoth that spends his time fucking around with lesser species and individuals.
I like to think that Nyarlothotep spent so long with humans that it became evil, instead of the other way around.Huh? Far as I can tell Nyarlathotep is the messenger of the Outer Gods, as well as the soul of Azathoth, who's rather disdainful towards his asleep self and everyone else.

Do push-ups beside the bed until you can't do any more then try going to sleep? That's how I generally go to sleep when I'm having trouble.
