It's like that scene from Life of Brian where no matter what he says everyone thinks he's the savior, only exactly the opposite of that.

So I keep getting mentioned by people even after I and TM clarified. I'm not sure why. What does what I have to say have to do with your faith?

Because clearly everything you have to say is important.

No, I'm not calling you arrogant; in fact, I'm agreeing with you and teasing you at the same time. No .

I bought the indy title "Cthulu Saves the World" and it was a fun lil 8bit FF knockoff with some pretty fun plays on the genre. I didn't get very far cuz ... well... life happens. I'll come back to it eventually.

Well I took the plunge and made the thread, TM, if it gets bad or seems like it's heading that way, feel free to shut it down. http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/off...o-bashing.html

If you use the B&N reader, or a Nook, (and there is most likely the same thing on the Knidle) there is the The Essential H.P. Lovecraft Collection for like $1.

It has the following stories included:

At the Mountains of Madness
The Call of Cthulhu
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Color Out of Space
Darkness
The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath
The Dreams in the Witch-House
The Dunwich Horror
Herbert West: Reanimator
The Horror at Red Hook
The Horror in the Museum
Hypnos
Imprisoned with the Pharaohs
The Lurking Fear
The Other Gods
The Shadow Out of Time
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
Shunned House
The Thing on the Doorstep
Through the Gates of the Silver Key

At the very least, you'll be up on another internet phenomenon.

I've not read much of his stuff. Is there any particular work of his you'd recommend as a good starting point?

I started reading the short story Call of Cthulu one day waiting for someone in a Borders bookstore. Was just getting interesting when I had to put it down and chillax with my friend.

Cthulhu Mythos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia might give you a few ideas.

My first introduction was when I was in college and I was in group of friends who loved to RPG. The GM had created his own fantasy set rpg called Grimstone (a maginficently elegent 6sider game) but he routinely liked to get us to play Call of Cthulu so he could drive our characters insane and kill us over and over and over. We even did a couple of LARPs for Halloween. Good times.

Odd direction for this thread to go ...

Lovecraft is where it's at.

I think that moderating such a thread would be fraught, but it might be worth it.

Tolkien's far too verbose.

Re: 21 OCTOBER 2011 Y people panic

I don't want to muck this thread up any further, but would anyone be interested in an ABSOLUTELY NO BASHING "What do you believe?" thread? If we could do it maturely, I think it would be very interesting to see what kind of things other people believe when it comes to God/Gods/Goddesses/Spirits/Etc.
