End of the World(Cthulhu Mythos)

[Bartumus22]

So being the bored, addicted to Sci Fi fiction that I am, and having read a discertaition on quantom physics(the universe is so large that all things must be possible), I re-visited my dusty collection of Cthullu Mythos novels, and quickly peed my pants. So lets do a check-list, shall we? Class-3(4?) Civilization, check. Ability to move armies, weapons, whole civilizations thru other dimensions, check. Use of technology alien and unfathomable to us, check. To quote Nick Fury "Not only are we not alone, we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned!" Yeeowtch. And, if current scientific minds have the right of it-hawking, and such-it's kinda inevitable we'll meet and alien race. I guess my point is, what could we do in the face -or faceless-of an invasion? We'd be screwed. Thoughts. Smart guys, give me your stats. Sci-fi guys, add info, or de-bunk me, please. And to those of you who've never read Ctulhu?? ehh...if youve got an extra change of undies.

Roll for initiative and hope for a low AC

If it's them coming to us and they are hostile where screwed. We'd have a better chance discovering them.

He has the right idea, all hail the slumbering giant in the depths of rhy...uh...whatever he calls his undersea palace!

Cthulhu got owned by mintberry crunch... we would just need to hope that the universe that south park was real in broke through to us also

[VictoriousSecret]

Mintberry Crunch shall save us all. Shablagoo!

This is what made me question whether class 3 civilization or class 4.

I never understood why Cthulu should be any scarier than any other cosmic evil being.

Supposedly...from some of the snippets I've read, just glancing at his eyes for a second can a cause a man to go mad with insanity.

He can be summoned through a dimensional rift in our ocean so he's the closest Old One to Earth.

Erm...uh...READ, brother. Just Read.

I love Lovecraft. Hoping to collect the rest of his literature at some point.

True of most Lovecraft gods, I believe. And making you go insane is not the worst thing an old god can do to you.

Honestly, don't take film versions as anything. Read the original Lovecraft. It isn't possible to film most of his stuff. The entire point of his vision was describing things which break reality in ways the human mind cannot handle. Which doesn't mean "cool CGI", it means seeing a 6 foot tall man who towers over the moon (not one of his examples). "But that doesn't make sense", you'll say. That's the point. It cannot make sense, and yet it is true, and that's what drives your brain out your ears when confronted by it.

Hell, even Lovecraft doesn't usually put you in the head of someone witnessing this stuff. He has them recalling it, or reading to maddened writings of someone who did.
