Long time this trade doesn't give signs of life. To may be continued or declared a break? http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thread_Necromancy_3038.jpg :lol: Jokes aside Tamri, for future reference most forums generally frown on people posting to topics that have been dormant for too long...

Certainly different of what I have in mind and I have to say that it does touch the Cthulhu level. I figured the stories would end up being quite different. That was sort of the point, after all. The Pale Horse is your answer to the "Outsider-verse Human/Cthulhu" question. Sufficiently Advanced was...

Sufficiently Advanced, Part 4 “Target’s advance has halted just under one light second away,” Beryl reported, trying to make sense of the strange signals they were getting. “It appears to be-” Her vision went blue and she tasted blood as a horrible hum began vibrating its way through her skull. The...

I think that you are looking into this from too much of a scientific angle. AoT will probably explain everything via alchemy with a certain degree of randomness; the technological time period more closely resembles early 1700 in regards to the primitive looking muskets, general steel working and th...

As Arioch hath bestowed his mighty blessing, I shall answer your original post: It's amateur scifi gibberish. The Titans violate the Square-Cube Law, the Law of Conservation of Matter, and the Law of Conservation of Energy. The Square-Cube Law states that the bigger something is, the more of its str...

:o :lol: Since we've never actually seen the Wave-Loom get used I had to guess for its activation sequence, so its operation is likely quite different than what Arioch had in mind. Using it as a PD weapon is also probably not all that realistic, since the torpedoes likely wouldn't ever clump enough...

Sufficiently Advanced, Part 3 “ Thunderbolt reports loss of main power, recovery expectancy zero. Request permission to evacuate and resign vessel.” “Request approved,” Stillstorm answered heavily, staring at the drifting wreckage that had once been Winter Tide. No matter how many ships she saw gut...

Oh god, that shit is priceless. Oh please please please have Alex go full Q on their blue asses. Have him take away Fireblade's psychokinesis and give it to Shoe Girl (Cloud). Have him start giving them random hair colors with stripes, polka dots, plaid, the works. Sky's the limit here baby, let's ...

Sufficiently Advanced, Part 2 “You let it run loose?” asked Stillstorm, her mind a tempest of barely contained fury. “With respect, Lashret, there was little else we could do,” explained Beryl respectfully. Beside her, Fireblade nodded in agreement. “As has already been proven, our weapons can do l...

The Loroi recoil in fear as they sense Alex create a psionic life-form from a "formula", to act as an (often bizarre, and possibly even random) intermediary? There's also futile struggles, and Pyrrhic delays (not victories, most of the time), and if you ever defeat Nyarlathotep then Azathoth still ...

Yes, the ants aren't the target, nor can they even conceive of what the beings so far above them are actually doing. But, in the vein of the HumansAreCthulhu trope, the story isn't really about the humans, much as it is that many of Lovecraft's stories aren't necessarily directly about the various ...

Well, that could be an interesting story. The species of the Local Bubble suddenly find themselves in the middle of a war they can't see, but is wreaking utter havoc upon them. Maybe you could do a set of brief snippets from their perspective as they witness their all-too-likely end? Wouldn't be a ...

How about whoever blew up Alex's ship (assuming that's how he ended up with the Loroi) learns exactly what they blew up? Someone did blow up his ship. But they knew exactly what they were doing when they did. The Loroi, Umiak, and even the Historians don't have a snowball's chance in hell of destro...

I believe the exploded head thing was Alex screwing with their heads. The fought they had shot him, seen the head explode and brain matter splatter everywhere but in reality, they did nothing. They got false memories placed into them just because he wanted to. he is fully capable to mind control th...

That's quite similar to what I have in my mind for an original fic, the problem with putting that on paper is that String Theory is a little bonkers to put down for even super-geniuses. Geniuses who have all produced math that works with vastly different models. For example Bosonic string theory ha...

Have you seen GURPS Psionics? It offers a lot of interesting content involving Telepathy including a "reflective" upgrade to the mind shield which bounces any attack back at the attacker. I'm only loosely familiar with GURPS, though I know the Outsider tech levels are loosely based off GURPS' 3rd E...

The concept that humans are Cthulhu is a strange one, and difficult to pull off. However, I believe that you have captured that with such a Lovecraft element even simple communication would be a difficult, if not potentially lethal Thank you! There's actually a fun reason Human telepathic communica...

Why thank you. Any especially good parts or areas that could have used work?

So some of you may recall I recently got into a bit of a discussion with fellow forum-goer dragoongfa about his story The Pale Horse . The content of the discussion is rather irrelevant, but it did get me thinking: what else could you do to make an encounter between a race like the Loroi and a TL16 ...

Fair enough. I agree that perhaps I'm reading ahead a bit, and the idea of what a TL 16 civilization might look like is certainly quite subjective. There is no reason dragoongfa should have to subscribe to my definition of how an ultra-advanced Human/Cthulhu fusion would act. I don't really have all...
