  5. Colin Fahrion haha, yes, an astute observation. However, I think it’s worth pointing out that I like those things in the way we traditionally understand their aesthetic (for lack of a better word). I like Cthulhu in the same way: unknowable cosmic horror, as opposed to a cheap cash-in product.

  15. Your commentary on various celebrities playing role playing games where you mention that a lot of drag queens do made me think that what would be awesome would be a side project of Ru Paul’s Drag Race with drag queens playing D&D and Ru Paul as DM.

  17. Colin Fahrion I would definitely watch that. “It’s time to roll Saving Throw vs. Poison . . . . FOR YOUR LIFE! Good luck, and don’t fuck it up!”

  21. Jason Cordova The tradition in which elves and dwarves take part in goofy, magic-filled adventures with clerics and bards and barbarians through a world with a thousand sentient races and twice as many monsters, with the goal of basically just stabbing them and hoping something shiny falls out of their pockets is a post-D&D tradition.  It ain’t Tolkien.

    In much the same way, Cthulhu being about gangsters and flappers and loading up on dynamite in order to kill the shoggoth is a post-CoC tradition.  It’s just that one of those traditions is like six or seven years older than the other.

  23. cosmic, indescribable horror has been handicapped simply by exposure.  A mind might snap in the face of the unimaginable, but a fat squid bat thing, what is the big deal?  The squid bat must fall short of the idea it is trying to represent, but it is the default answer every modern brain grabs when it should be trying to imagine something so horribly alien that its very sight will crack your sanity.  we play games where we fight scary monsters but that’s not really scary.  Really scary is realizing that you and your whole world are nothing more then a tiny piece of krill in an ocean swarming with deep sea monsters that will swallow us up at any moment.

  29. Don’t be hating on me for bringing fresh blood into The Gauntlet.  We’re all about being welcoming and showing people how storygames are amazing.

    besides, we’re running out of sacrifices for Agrat Bat Mahiat, Terrible Be Her Name.

  31. I would absolutely watch RuPaul DMing. Bring the children and open their eyes to world beyond the world and glimpse the truth of their own insignificance! Then they will give themselves freely to be one with the dark goddess of chaos RuPaulu! Eternal her reign! Infernal her love! Void is her mercy!

    Because I am relatively new to RPGs in general I was introduced to Cthululian lore long before my first dice rolled snake eyes and sent my poor elven druid to his death. I agree that the way that the mythos is portrayed is pretty lame. But in the industry’s defense that whole realm is beyond human comprehension.

    I would like to know what everyone’s celebrity adventuring group would be. Ground rules:

    1 Celebrity DM

    3 Celebrity Players

    Real People

    Alive or dead
