Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Quote:
Mystic ties and travel between worlds should involve the Dreamlands of H.P. Lovecraft, with liberal thievery from Indo-European mythology, in particular the Poetic Edda, Lord Dunsany, Edgar Alan Poe, Lewis Carroll, Cervantes, Fritz Leiber, Clark Ashton Smith, R.E. Howard, the less well-known Arthur Machen and the inimitable, almost-unreadable, but incredibly imaginative Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Stephen King and Dean Koontz have both done more modern versions of the same, with King's forays into the genre generally far superior, and depending on the players, a bit of Cormac McCarthy might or might not improve the flavour. It's strong spice and an acquired taste, to be sure. For instructions on how to prepare the meal, turn to the incomparable Ken Hite and his Suppressed Transmission, still the greatest guide to worldbuilding and concepts for campaigns. Of course, you know about the Suppressed Transmission? You'll probably not regret buying anything else written by Hite, such as GURPS Horror, in case you like Horror, GURPS, or just any kind of gaming where horrific things might occasionally appear.

It's in the section titled, "Methods of Meat Tenderization."

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
What happens, now that they've removed the skeleton from the coffin specially equipped to keep her from rising?
