    I'm sorry, but those "Hostile intent" ships are nothing but variations of the Battlestar Galactica"


    Could they not try to be a little more imaginative?

    Don't be fooled by his Jedi disguise! I know who he really is! Ai! Ai! Cthulhu F'taghn!

    @Meirelle: R.O.A.C.H.: Surely Cthulhu has many more hit points than that.

    @Mount_Prion: C.U.C.A.R.A.C.H.A.: Oh, he does. The people who wrote his info card are primitive creatures incapable of understanding the ancient power of the Great Cthulhu. They cannot comprehend the vast amount of Cthulhu's hit points.

    @Mount_Prion: C.U.C.A.R.A.C.H.A.: Perhaps we would be closer if we cubed it and cubed it again. The process may require more repetition.

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: Sure he can. To paraphrase "Calls for Cthulhu," he once woke up for a midnight snack and some Norwegian jammed a fishing boat into his side.

    @MrTim: "Calls for Cthulhu" sounds vaguely like a sex line. THAT sent me gibbering into the shower.

    I just want posters of the art. Go to the game's site and look at some of it. It's beautiful.

    @ggodo: Is this the game that was launched through some decent viral ads that got mixed up with the Cloverfield ARG?

    *runs to check*


    Oh yes it is. I think I'd enjoy it, but I don't know anyone that plays RPGs. :(
