.. I can sculpt tentacles! |

I'm a cosmic nihilist who enjoys watching humanity squirm as we learn just how insignificant we truly is when compared to the rest of the universe. |

Carrying high-powered military ordnance is considered "normal", and even "wimpy". |
Wackmole9  | 18 Mar 2017 10:01 a.m. PST |
Because it gives life/form to the the dark places in my mind. |
| Extrabio1947 | 18 Mar 2017 10:01 a.m. PST |
Exactly! It's all about the tentacles. |

The answer to the question is in this book…lets look and….gibber, gibber, drool, drool. |

I love the Laundry files. |

What's not to like about six foot tall blind albino penguins? |

"I'm a cosmic nihilist…."….hmmph…I used to be into nihilism….but that all seems so pointless now… |
| War Panda | 18 Mar 2017 12:14 p.m. PST |
I'm a sucker for tentacles myself |

for me it's more about the story and how weird things can get versus the survival of the characters. |
| GarrisonMiniatures | 18 Mar 2017 2:45 p.m. PST |
If it's Cthulu the characters don't exactly survive unless they have been… changed. |
| Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut | 18 Mar 2017 3:40 p.m. PST |
Because Nyarlathotep can be such an assuming guy… just your Joe Average middle eastern guy, maybe a little grey-skinned, but the he breaks out the Mind-Wrenching Cosmic Power and turns people into clay. |

It justifies carrying really cool emergency gear in the trunk of your car. |

… I'm afraid not to, lest the darkness consume me. |

Let us not forget that Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu RPG was a beautiful thing. Ron |

Tentacles, monsters and madness. So much more heroic than mere dragons and treasure hunting… |
| Jim Selzer | 19 Mar 2017 2:40 p.m. PST |
because no one ever says the eyes aren't the right color or that shade of flesh is off |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 19 Mar 2017 2:46 p.m. PST |
Because it's such a pleasant surprise when, once in a while, my character survives a game and still has some SAN points. I kind of like role-playing insanity. There are a couple of people I worked for long ago that I use as a basis for an insane character. |

As the Game Master, if the players push for more description, you can always say "The Thing cannot be described – there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order." |

. . .There's a chance I will be eaten first:

Or if the players push for more description, you can also say "it appears to be an eldritch contradiction of all matter, force, and cosmic order, the closer examination of which causes you to lose 2 Sanity." |

I liked the musical: link |
