There seems to be a competition to see which government can be the most barbaric.

assault reacted to dmjalund in Supers Image game
His name is Star Boy
His abilities is to fly,
he is damage resistant and he can project powerful beams of light-energy from his hands
the powers are in his outfit
the cape allows him to fly
the wrist bands allow him to project light beams
his mask stops even people who know him from recognizing him
and when he wears the combination, he becomes damage resistant
he found the outfit in his basement when the family moved to a new house

The amazing thing is that even Lovecraft cannot make penguins scary. In fact, if you feed a giant penguin to a shoggoth, it just makes the shoggoth less scary.
Meanwhile, massey pretty much sums up the whole thread.
Repeatedly, I'm sure.
Still, you got me thinking on the subject, so I might as well inflict that thinking on the thread.
Here's how the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark would look, written by Lovecraft:

To point out the obvious: this is a rebirth of the Civil Rights movement. (Because most of the victims aren't "white").
And while I don't know the backgrounds of all of the people posting here, it's a pretty good indication that lots of "white" people are supportive of it.
Well freakin' done. Change the world. You've already started.

Well, sorry dude, but nobody can help you. When you basically come out and say that you don't consider 3 of the 4 movies "canon", and you changed a bunch of things you didn't like and rewrote some of the novels and edited some of the movies to be closer to your liking, then you are no longer dealing with the same "canon" that the rest of the universe is. Do what you want, but nobody is going to see things the way you do.

Also, there's a "Nice Happy" thread somewhere on the board, ya know?

That's Cthulhu's Call to make; you'll have to ask Him.

What level of palindromedary can be reached before it's a Lucius Alexander tagline?

Yep, I think so. There is, of course, some validity to concerns about language policing, but far too often complaining about "political correctness" is a stalking horse for "I want to be able to be just as horrible towards people who aren't like me as I was before, and not get called out on it."

Templates should be tools, not straitjackets.
They are good for setting benchmarks, and quick and dirty character creation, but they are no substitute for actually thinking about characters.

Memory plus Google.
I read a book about Scandinavia in the Napoleonic Wars back in the 70s.
And then I fact checked what I remembered, to get the sequence of events right.
