Well since few people in Lovecraftian tales keep their minds intact, a guess of lots on insanity seems reasonable. Also C'thulu. I will be very disappointed if C'thulu doesn't show up.

Also vote betiko, for not knowing how to spell Doom.

BURN THE WITCH!

But seriously, either DoomYoshi is intentionally messing with us, or something is up. Anyone fairly knowledgeable in Lovecraft-ian horror have ideas?

This is actually the first time I ever hear about lovecraft... I looked it up on wiki when i signed in and understood where a few metallica song titles came from. Not popular at all outside of the US.

I hesitate to say that we're up against an elder god like Yog Sothoth or Azathoth. Balance wise, I'd say we're probably up against some sort of cult or a bunch of random monsters as mafia.

It's possible we have a cult as well given the size and flavor, but I cannot say for sure.

Personally I think this will be lots of fun or completely unbalanced like jaks Halo game was.

I used to love H.P. Lovecraft as a kid. Tons and Tons of monsters to choose from. I would think there would have to be cult/several factions as many of the stories revolved around that... worship of the Old Ones ect.

Lots of possibilities game wise.

From my Role PM I am absolutely sure that there is Cult in this game. As for the elder god, I'm not sure he's even in this game as a role. But enough seriousness Vote Safari for even bringing it up in the Joke vote phase.

I have never heard of Lovecraft but anyhow the town is Arkham, lord voldemort is hosting the Batman game which is held in Arkham, therefore he has knowledge. He hasn't given us that knowledge on the first post of the day so vote lord voldemort for withholding.

I don't know much, but back in the day I was into standard RPGs (D&D, Gurps, Vampire the Masquerade...) there was a not-so-famous-but-pretty-admired one called Call of Cthullu. I got to play it once in an event. You basically play with run-of-the-mill humans and invariably you either die or survive and lose your sanity (so I've been told).

I know this game was based in Lovecraft's work, but I don't know much about it, nor how vast his work is besides Cthullu.

It's not like he's huge in American culture or anything. But if you have ever read a horror novel or watched a scifi horror movie, then I can almost guarantee that it was in one form or another influenced by Lovecraft's works.

Vote Jonty Because obviously we are talking scifi. I havent even read/seen anything about lovecraft before and it is quite apparent after 3-4 pages of talk about it. This seems to be a pathetic attempt at throwing out a vote and hoping someone will take the bait and go too far with it.

Part of the lore of Lovecraft is the irrelevance of humanity and I remember Call of Cthulla from my college days. If done right It would make a good mafia game.
