Your limited point of view just brags with your close-mindedness, human.
Rrarrr! That should be "closed-mindedness"! As written, you're saying his mindedness is close. Close to what? Rrarrr!
Close to non-existent. This is the perfect example. Your ridiculous attempt at communication, this "language". It is even less relevant than your kind, but you seem to place great importance in it.
That would crack us up if humour wasn't irrelevant, too.
Ah well, in a billion years, nobody will even remember your race.
I the reaction to the snippets of superscience stuff they do is mostly positive then I think you will see that Numeria AP.
I think we all know what we have to do: Find out who speaks out against it and send terminators to kill their parents.
i am not a fan of robots and aliens in my fantasy.
i didn't buy dungeons of golarion because of the robots, and find the alien technology in "wake of the watcher" barely tolerable (curse you greg a. vaughn for being such a great adventure writer!(not really:). i prefer numeria and alkenstar as vague as possible.
We shall contact the mi-go and inform them of your particular opinion. We are sure they will be quite enthusiastic about harvesting your brain to find the reasons for these aversions.
Nice analysis from the material. Any imput from Paizo?
Nope.
We know what the aboleths are up to, but the stars are not yet right for us to reveal that hidden truth.
Oh, come on, dinosaur-worshipping individual. You know as well as we do that time is but a passageway, the beginning of the end - an end that never was. Time - but a curve in space.
When you see the stars as right, they were actually right long ago back where they actually are. You see the light they sent out, which then travelled the gulf of the Dark Tapestry for aeons to arrive at your position in space at your position in time. But the reflection is not the thing itself.
You as someone who assumes the likeness of a creature that has been extinct for a long time (though still not as long as the starlight you're looking at has travelled) should be aware of that universal truth.
So when you say the stars are right, we say you just see them as right in what you call the future while actually they have been right long ago - in the opposite direction on the axis of time.
What we are saying is that it's past time (to borrow one of the quaint idioms you creatures of time and space are so fond of) to tell your fellow individuals about the Aboleths and their plans.
Great. Anyone who hangs around with males with this feat have to eat fecal-matter-encrusted magical eggs to get any benefit. Pass.
Might as well make magical ear-wax or booger potions.
I get what the original poster is trying to do. Funny. Now please stop.
We fail to see what the agitation is about. Those limited mortal beings seem to have a very sophisticated and complicated system around their bodily secretions - some are abhorrent, while others are desirable. And with some, there seem to be conflicting social dynamics. They use them for waste disposal, pleasure, procreation, to convey meaning, and sometimes they use other species' secretions for nutrition.
It is our assumption that is is one of many ways they use to distract themselves from the cold, hard fact that their carefully constructed "reality" is but a lie, a mere shell to try and shut out what lies Beyond.
You can always change that if you want to go Ravenloft or Call of Cthulhu on your players and erode their sanity with unspeakable horrors.
We do not care if those self-glorified cultists can restore a mind we drove insane. They can do that a few times per day at most (and they need to be powerful to do that). We can destroy minds for hundreds of hours in the same time.
Far too long have those who are not bound by the small-minded restrictions of body and mind those mewling humanoids call "natural" been marginalised!
The stars are right for chthonian and unspeakable terrors will be the focus of one of these paths.
Of course, such an undertaking might not be feasible from your point of view, since in such a case, all humanoids will die screaming, which might not appeal to your warped sense of "happy ending".
So far, the limitless entities that feature so prominently in your restricted nightmares only had cameo appearances, to merely turn insane instead of completely shattering and consuming the minds of brief mortals:
Warning, only read on if you do not value your sanity. Plus, there's spoilers for some APs:
The Rise of the Runelords AP had several appearances of Mythos creatures, and a few of the more satisfying outcomes of this venture result in the liberation of a close personal friend of mine, who will then be able to indulge in his favourite pastime: Obliterating worlds.
Serpent's Skull, with its snakemen with delusions of adequacy, features a number of mindtakers, known as intellect devourers to some.
There are others, but their roles are even smaller, being allowed to merely induce some minor phobias.
We are of the opinion that the intellect devourers and aboleths would make for excellent main villains for a whole AP. Dark intrigue and suspicion would pervade such tales, and madness, too. We find these concepts pleasing!
You mortals and your trivial morals and sexual orientations are so weird.
And trivial.
That, we think, is the comforting part: In a couple of million years, an aeon on the outside, you'll be gone again (sooner if we get real hungry and go on a sun-eating-spree again), and we'll listen to some jumped-up cockroaches reprimanding each other for discriminating headless ones or hating each other because someone thinks antennae are attractive.
Aaaand this one made me fall over laughing.
That's good, is it? We always get this laughing and crying stuff confused. It's not helping that sometimes you brief mortals do both at once.

Charisma is not apearance or squid heads are hot.Seriously, what has a higher averege cha than a mind flayer?
You are just trapped in your small-minded, humanoid brain with its preconceptions of beauty. Real beauty can only be achieved if you ignore all barriers.
You were not supposed to come here before. As your belief wasn't fervent enough, it was not yet your turn to be eaten. Others were more pious, and thus were eaten first.
i'd like to see a female tian-min "child" iconic dressed in a black kimono, probably with the appearance of a 12ish year old girl. probably as an alternate iconic rogue or ninja. little girls can adventure too. we'd have not only a tian for diversity, but another female for the women's empowerment crowd, and a child for the preteen players to identify with. we'd also lure a few more anime geeks. just don't put any abberations in the same image.
No aberrations? No chance. This game is too small to have 12ish-year-old heroines and tentacly-endowed critters in different locations.
Those exact words were spoken 9.9 seconds before this scene occured.
It's Andoran's fault for being too goody-two-shoes to summon terrors from beyond time and space to do their bidding. Their enemies were not too wussy to do it.
This talk about meek, limited creatures of time and space tires us.
They all pale in comparison to The Infinite. Not much is known about the Infinite, except that is name is an understatement, for its number of tentacles way surpase infinity. As does each tentacles reach. A mere shadow of its touch is in every tentacle's touch.
We shall participate in this endeavour. We still do not understand why we don't just meld all our mindmatter, form a collective, and instantly exchange all information we want to share.
We're still not sure what this is all about. Anyone care to explain to us, again, how those concepts of good and evil are any different? The way we see it, they're both made-up concepts to boost one's feelings. Something about "us" and "them", right?
You finite creatures are weird. Although, for some reason, some of you are interesting for some reason when they wear what you call "school uniform".
That's the main reason we haven't eaten your planet yet, really.
Tentacle Lover (Iomedae) Your duties as a priestess of the Inheritor have brought you into frequent contact with tentacled Things From Beyond Space And Time, and you've grown to enjoy their company. You are immune to fear effects based on appearance (i.e. "shocking true form" stuff) and gain a +2 bonus to grapple (/CMB) checks made to initiate or maintain a grapple. On the other hand, you gain a -2 penalty to grapple (/CMB) and escape artist made to escape a grapple.
As spokesperson of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune, I have an announcement.
Due to a rash of food thefts commited by a number of landbound pirates, we have as of this morning stopped all deliveries of food to the populace. It is the only way we can fight those lawless food thieves. I'm sure we have your understanding and support.
We suspect this might lead to famine, but since Unspeakable Entities like us do not eat in the sense you mere creatures of space and time would understand, we see nothing wrong with this, and we decided not to comment on your cruel ways. It is simply not our way.
Look what we found. It visually fits the description given us for the humanoid creature we're looking for, except it doesn't have that colourful outer skin on it at the moment, and it doesn't scream when we wriggle our curiously-shaped tentacles around.
We think it's broken. We think we have a spare soul we could put into it. It's not from its own species, but it's from this dimension and aeon, so it should work out fine, no? Want us to fix it?
