Yeah, attacking Cthulhu physically by ramming a boat into him was what I was referring to. I don't remember anything similar with Azathoth, he is there with the piping gods outside of rational space but essentially it is just a distant god/being that cultists connect to and that Nyarlathotep...

Ahh, not in any of the images here but separately over at Wizards' preview. Yeah him being bound in Ravenloft seems tonally weird. He's a core warlock GoO patron. Him as a darklord seems as awkward as 2e Domains of Dread actual demigod Vecna was.

Yesterday I finished the Doctor Who audio book of a Peter Davison (Doctor Five) Weeping Angel story involving Michaelangelo. It was fun, involved some time stuff, famous history looped in, and callbacks to David Tenant's (Doctor Ten's) Blink episode that introduced the Weeping Angels. I enjoyed...

Sure, but even being for a specific game system I sometimes really prefer more general descriptions and less specifics to keep the city flexible on stat power level. For instance I really like the 10 pages on the White Witch ruled city of Whitethrone in the Pathfinder 1e Cities of Golarion...
