This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: blakkieNyarlathotep is the the negro manservant to the Elders Gods, right?
The "soul and messenger" of the Outer Gods, with a thousand forms. The ultimate recurring villain in the Mythos, you might say.
Previously known by the name of "GrimGent".

Nyarlathotep as a concept utterly rocks.

Whereas anything named "coriander hasp" is undoubtedly filled with the retarded.

He's an immortal Deceiver with the power to steal the identity of anyone he has ever met, and to lie so convincingly that the universe itself believes what he says and behaves accordingly...

Hmm.

Excrucians have this quaint habit of adopting names from any historical circumstances that happen to impress them. The results can be a tad... colourful.

My favorite Recurring Villain is a dead one:
A lunatic Psychohistorian who set the whole Far Frontiers Sector ablaze to manipulate the Zhodani into a frontier war.
After one game year, the group found and killed him.

But his plans were already in motion, and so they kept stumbling over his machinations trying desperately to figure out what he did to whom to cause what.

Sometimes it's twee. Sometimes it's about armies drowning in geysers of boiling blood, and God witnessing in silence every tragedy through the eyes of cockroaches, and the inevitable damnation of all souls on Earth. And sometimes it's both at once.

So you were basically passing judgement without knowing shit about it and then expressing said judgement in a grade-school insult? Rock bottom and still digging, huh? :hatsoff: :rotfl:

I have, in fact, read Nobilis cover-to-cover.

Or at least, I came as close as one can do to that and survive. By about page 200 I was in a kind of fugue state, half blacked-out. I think blood was coming out of my tear ducts.

Weep for the Pundit.

If you want to hijack the idea of a psycho historian you should read "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov, assuming you haven't already, of course.

Well, pundy, I think I have a cure for your suffering:

Read the wraethu gamebook. When you're done you'll look back on your time spent reading the noblis book with fond nostalgia....:rotfl:
