"D20 Call of Cthulhu"


what, why, when, how, who?


Just Emerged In Antarctica


AI will bring everything into the light.

And, It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.

Unless we also create giant robots. Giant fighting robots can save humanity -- I saw it on the internet.


Keyword = eye


Never mind now.

I wrote a Perl script.


Yet Another Plan Stan: Everyone pick a H.P. Lovecraft story at random and count the number of words in its final paragraph. Then post your data.

Example: Call of Cthulhu, 149


There is a rumor the count of the number of words in the last paragraph of each of HPL's stories in chrono order create a secret code. Apparently someone said HPL was an amateur crypto-type.


I asked an AI to write a program to summon Cthulhu, it said:

Spoiler:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

void callOfCthulhu() {
srand(time(NULL));

int chance = rand() % 100;

if (chance < 5) {
printf("Cthulhu has been summoned!\n");
} else {
printf("The summoning failed. Cthulhu remains dormant.\n");
}
}

int main() {
callOfCthulhu();

return 0;
}


So, my nephews are Mythos n00bs. In your opinions, what are the first three stories I suggest to them to read??

My list is:
1. "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward"
2. "The Dunwich Horror"
3. "Call of Cthulhu"

... and after these three stories, it will be of course be "Mountain of Madness" (for the final exam.)

Lots of delightful nonsense to parse through, but before I do that, I'll answer the original question:

Ascendancy. I have kids.

So how are you adapting?

Why did the scarecrow win an award?

Spoiler:
Because he was outstanding in his field.


"Down" always points to where time runs the slowest.

I was wondering if anyone else on the boards was a fan of the great works of H.P Lovecraft. I myself have just recently been introduced to his books.

I've been diligently busy transcribing the Necronomicon for quite awhile now.


Proper time is a concept in Special Relativity that refers to the time experienced by an observer who is at rest relative to a given event or object. It is defined as the time interval measured by a clock that is co-located with the observer. Proper time is frame-dependent and is invariant under Lorentz transformations -- which describe the transformation of spacetime coordinates between different inertial frames.

In the context of spacetime diagrams, where time is plotted on the vertical axis and space on the horizontal axis, the worldline of an object at rest relative to an observer forms a vertical line with a slope of zero. This worldline represents the proper time experienced by the object, and it is a straight line.

To put both questions to rest, I'll answer thusly:

With the way my mind works, I could've created the universe itself.

Why do you imagine you didn't create the universe?

So, nothing. Absolute zero.

Ok, so what is the number of things you can imagine that so far have not been said to you?

In all honesty? I'd have to say infinity, because I can literally imagine anything!

Imagine Set Theory does not exist and give a new definition of 'infinity'?

Shocking. Someone can afford a full tank of gas?

Once you give up clothes (think of the hidden laundry expense!) it becomes just feasible.

But don't expect a gas station hot dog.

It was probably a Witch.

BRZRKR is a comic book series created and written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt and drawn by Ron Garney. The comic follows an immortal warrior, known as Berzerker, as he fights his way through the ages. The first issue of the 12-issue limited series was published on March 3, 2021, by Boom! Studios. It raised more than $1.4 million USD in its funding campaign on Kickstarter.

I was in the comic book store today and looked at the latest one.

I reminds me of "Casca the Eternal Mercenary".

Why is north always up?

Because the southern end of the magnet is up "there". We use a compass to determine N and S. Magnetic north is attracted to magnetic south, so if your compass is pointing North you are facing the south magnetic pole.

Maybe someone has already figured this out, but the parameter we don’t really know is what the actual probability is of looking into a mirror and being sucked into another dimension. My first guess was 2%, but after thinking about it this is way waaay too large. 2% implies that about one time out of every fifty times a person looks into a mirror they will cross over to another dimension. If this were true, people would be disappearing all around us!!

Luckily, we can actually set up and do an experiment to figure out what the probability is of passing through a mirror, by using the set up David has suggested in his original post. If we set up two mirrors and measure how long it takes for a trapped image to disappear we can directly measure this ‘leak’ probability.

I had to tap into the meta-physical community, here in my city, to find somebody capable of pulling this off with two mirrors, but luckily a few friends were more than eager.

The Math: Using our equation from above, time = distance-between-mirrors / ( probability * speed-of-light) we can use algebra to manipulate it and solve for ‘probability’.

So, probability = distance-between-mirrors / ( time * speed-of-light). We want a number for ‘probability’, so we need numbers for ‘distance-between-mirrors’, ‘time’, and ‘speed-of-light’.

‘speed-of-light’ is a constant in our universe at 300,000,000 m/s.
‘distance-between-mirrors’ is something we can control, so we set it at 1 meter.
‘time’ is something we don’t know, but will measure with a stop-watch.

The Experiment: To get ‘time’ a meta-physician friend set up the two mirrors in his lab. Then, by ways mysterious to me, he captured an image between them, and we watched it bounced back and forth between the mirrors. We used a stop-watch to measure how long it took before the image disappeared by passing through one of the mirrors and into another dimension. The number we got was 10 seconds. 10 SECONDS.

Plugging all these numbers into our ‘probability’ equation using a...

Apparently, after many unnerving attempts it turns out one must first "Collimate" the mirrors. I didn't even know collimate was a word until recently.


Cornerhounds. Heh.


James, do you feel there is any "Lovecraftian" theme to the old module "Expedition to Barrier Peaks" ? And would you in any way related the story "At the Mountain of Madness" to the adventure "Expedition to Barrier Peaks"?

Post Apocalyptic Debt Collector
by tensor
The gang emerged from the twisted metal of a 200 year old parking deck. The old man needed a return on his investment and Clark knew how to get it. Susan's metal boot crunched

[edit]
I didn't finish the last sentence because I ran out of time. But it would have been "Susan's metal boot crunched down on a shard of broken glass." Or something like that, dunno now.

Who is Clark and who is Susan? There is a gang, so we can assume a few more of them are around. What is in the sunlit windows of the buildings across the street? Do they think they are being watched by potential adversaries?

I need more than a 1 minute. The people have got to know!

I'm trying to start waking up at 6:30am. Then do cool stuff all day. Then play games at night.

There is this concept I want to experiment with, it is called sleeping when it is dark outside and being awake when it is light outside.
