  1. Nothing says "Happy-fun-beach-day" like an encounter with "things which man was not meant to know"
    remind me to tell you about the Cthulhu Role Playing Game sometime. Its very much like the end of WarGames. The only rational approach is 'not to play'

    Wicked...

    Out of curiousity, how do you, ross, and eveyone else decide to come together and create the zombie tale and cthulhu stories? Was it a sitting around having coffee thing where you started talking saying 'This would be REALLY cool' or was it more of a job thing, 'we have this idea for a series, and we'd like you to take a stab at it' type deal? O.o

    Either way, can't WAIT! I like the inking for this piece too.

    CoC really needed to differentiate between 'good' insanity and 'bad' insanity.

    Dealing with anything from the mythos will ultimately drive your PC insane. Understanding the true nature of the universe more intimately will distance them from 'normal' humans. They will begin to hold their fellow beings in contempt. Those sheep, blind to the horrors that lie beneath their very feet. Fools ignorant of the things whispering in the corners of every room.

    This is inevitable and is 'good', useful insanity. Examples would be Ash from 'Evil Dead' or The Tick.

    'Bad' insanity is when your PC has a psychotic break and thinks they are the Duchess of Cornwood and now is a good time for tea with Mr. Log and Ms. Rock.

  5. sort of like a nutritionist and someone who thinks Fluffer-nutter sandwiches are haut-cuisine going into a McDonalds?

    Yeah, that works.

    The nutritionist would be munching on something composed of stir fried grasshoppers and seaweed while describing exactly what went in to creating his companion's 'Big Mac'.

    The nutritionist would be insane in a 'good' way. Fast food man violently flinging his sandwich away while shrieking like a piglet suddenly became insane in a 'bad' way.
