If you're experiencing a bit of lag on the forums, it's because we're test-firing a new weapon designed to steal away all of your 3rd Edition books. (Yes, the rumors are true.)

Apropos of nothing, in a long ago D&D game, I used the Cthulhu mythos. Being very old-school, if anyone mentioned the name "Cthulhu", there was a 25% chance of the Big Guy noticing, and sending a Deep One to attend to the mentioner's "needs." This first happened to the party while investigating a seaside manor house. Later on, whilst in the middle of a deep forest in the interior of the continent, one of the same PC's spoke Cthulhu's name aloud once again. The other PC's protested, at which the offending PC scoffed, "We're at least 500 miles from the ocean. How's he going to get a Deep One all the way here?"

At which point the concept of the Cthulhu Catapult was birthed.

Second digression: what sound does the Cthulhu Catapult make when it fires?

C-Thunk.
