What is this Unspeakable Futures I keep hearing mentioned every so often?

It's a (currently still unpublished) game I've been working on for about 12 years.

SOME day I'd love to try to get it published, but for now, you can see some of those rules peeking into Pathfinder here and there in the form of the robot rules (debuted in Dungeons of Golarion and further in the upcoming Inner Sea Bestiary) and in Ultimate Combat's gunslinger class (which is a heavily modified and more fantasy-based version of the class).

This has got Kickstarter written all over it. I mean if a setting like this based on Pathfinder rules developed by the Creative Director of the most popular table top RPG out there can't get funded, I'd be shocked. Although what is more likely the issue is that there isn't a Kickstarter for hours in the day...

See above... plus you wrote the forward to the Tome of Horrors. I mean, that's pretty kick a@@.

Well, unless you are an herbivore, you're assisting to provide the market to facilitate them going through a lot worse than a bumpy ride in a dark box.

/soapbox (sorry it's my "signature issue")

But on the question front, I am starting a HPL-influenced campaign, with beginning based on the events from "The Rats in the Walls". I have read Wake of the Watcher and it's optional rule for sanity, but do you think for a longer term use (over the course of a campaign) I might be better off going with a system of say 5x Wis score and assigning a d# sanity loss for specific encounters? More akin to CoC I guess.

Thanks!
