Some of these have already been covered, but this is my recommendation list.Grant Morrison's The Invisibles - Occult conspiracy. Good mixture of sci-fi, fantasy, and just old-fashioned weirdness. Very deep stuff with the references Morrison throws around, but absolutely stunning series. I've...

I've found that when being all touristy in NYC, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to stay just across the state line in NJ. Little bit of a drive to get back into the city for your daytime activities, but it certainly helps lessen the hit on your wallet. There's no end of stuff to spend money on in...

Part 2 can be found here. Part 3 I'm still trying to find, but a friend played it for me over the weekend.

You're thinking of Zoroastrianism, not the Babylonian mythology. The Babylonians were polytheists whose pantheon was to the Sumerian pantheon what the Roman pantheon was to the Greek. Ergo, you'd want to search for Persian myth instead.

The orcs claim he was always one-eyed. The elves tell the tale of how Corellon put his eye out. In his Avatar, he looks like a cyclops to try to perpetuate the way the orcs tell it. The truth is generally unknown. At least that's how it was presented in Monster Mythology in 2E.

Damn. They seem to have taken it down from the site. Do a search for Dead Alewives on Morpheus or Kazaa. They actively encourage it (hell, they suggest it on their site).

Well, they do have Re-Horakhty, which is Horus ascended to be king of the Gods from later Ptolemaic Egypt. It's a result of the later dynasties combining Horus and Re/Ra. They list him as the son of Isis and Osiris, and that he was once known as Horus.

I guess since we're going to revise the list, we could use some resources. Here's the Mythos, in order of CR: Azathoth, 50 Shub-Niggurath, 48 Nyarlathotep, 45 Yog-Sothoth, 45 Tsaoggua, 39 Nodens, 38 Hastur, 37 Cthulhu, 34 Mordiggan, 30 Eihort, 27 Yig, 27 Chaugnar Faugn, 25 Ithaqua, 25 Cthuga...

Actually, it's Dead Alewives. Should probably check their website as they've already written two sequels to it...

I'm still waiting for the "Monkey King versus Thor" thread to crop up here :p

I really would have gladly paid for a longer book. Just over 200 pages really isn't enough. I know the book was $30 already, but if you punch it to $35, you can get in 50 to 100 more pages for that cost. That would have been a lot of room for good things.

You're hallucinating. Too many hours in the hookah dens of Coruscant? *The Traveler hastily hides the edits to the list*

Manual of the Planes. Axiomatic is to Lawful what Celestial is to Good.

Must've been a brain-fart on my part. I had started by sorting the Mythos panthon by CR, and must've just assumed as I was listing their ranks for when I sorted the other gods in. Some of the ranks are supremely wonky on the Mythos gods. For example, Shub-Niggurath is 48, which should put her...

Celestial dire axiomatic werebeavers! Er, sorry.

Well, it confused me too, because even in the text of CoCd20, Azathoth, Yog Sothoth, and Shub-Niggurath are described as the triumvirate of the Outer Gods. Still, he's statted like he's statted, and it's from the appendix that's only supposed to have bearing on mixing D&D and CoC. Go figure.

Don't ask me. I just copied his rank from the hardbound CoCd20.

Just promise you'll try and manage similar distribution schemes to what you had under S&SS. I'd hate for you guys to disappear from the shelves of my FLGS.

I posted this over at Nutkinland while these boards were down. Now that we're back up over here, I figured I'd cross-post. Unfortunately, WotC did the two books rather wonkily, so they're not compatible on all fronts. For example, Call of Cthulhu uses Challenge Rating rather than Divine Rank...

Oh, it's very simple. Clone me about a hundred times, and buy a small island nation for the resulting game addict horde. God, I spend too much on games. Alternately, you could clone Gordon, who works at my FLGS, and make the resulting clones all work at WotC's Game Keeper stores. The man...
