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...

A big nuance difference is that in the classic Cthulhu story the protagonist fights Cthulhu directly.

Masque of the Red Death a 2e Ravenloft expansion world where one of the Dark Powers gets into 1890s earth so we have things like Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster and the Ghost of Sitting Bull. Original 2e Ravenloft had a couple of Darklords taken straight out of other fiction, Bluebeard was...

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.

It’s not Cthulhu as a dark lord here it’s a Yithian in a Ravenloft adventure. An alien that body swaps with people for months or years. I see it as having adventure story potential in Ravenloft. It worked for me in Death in Freeport to add mythos horror to D&D.

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...

I'm not quite certain I am reading you right here. A successfully hidden sniper should not expect to get a shot off before anyone in the group reacts?

I was going to say almost no statblocks but this is a good reason to want them. You generally want to be able to pull out any of those things for a city adventure.

That's fine, for me calling it scientifically explained psychic powers instead of magic does not change it from science fantasy. I expect in the Shadowrun universe they have scientific theories of how magic works and that does not change their magic from being fantasy to science fiction in my...

I think for a gaming purpose we would still classify it as on the fantasy end of the science fantasy spectrum while the replicators and Klingon cloaking ships would be on the speculative science tech end. Any fictional universe with magic in it from an in-world perspective the supernatural...

Absolutely it matters. In the Star Trek RPG anyone can use the tech phasers and replicators and faster than light speed and such and we do not consider them magic users because they do so. Only the psychic Vulcans can mind meld.
