Nothing to apologize for. As the thread went on longer, the probability of this conversation taking place drew closer to certainty. So long as it stays civil, we're all good.

Perhaps that is jumping a little too far for my fat ass to fly

Look at you

soaring majestically through the air

like an eagle

piloting a blimp

I was hoping someone would at least find some amusement out of that sentence.

I still like the Silmarillion.

Tolkien's far too verbose.

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.

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

Lovecraft is where it's at.

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

Odd direction for this thread to go ...

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.

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.

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

Re: 21 OCTOBER 2011 Y people panic

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.
