[QUOTE="madriel, post: 136104, member: 439"] Ahh, it's been too long since I played Call of Cthulhu. Here's my words of wisdom from a shattered (but still living) mind: If a book has ancient, arcane or eldritch in the title, burn before reading. Before reading, people, I can't emphasize that enough. If someone starts laughing, shoot them immediately before it turns into a mad cackle. They were only going to shoot you after all. The quiet, introverted type loses SAN points fastest. Always travel with loud-mouthed braggarts. Loud-mouthed braggarts get other people into trouble, plus their talking lets Tentacular Beings From Another Dimension know where you are. Always travel with quiet introverted types. Do not wait for monsters to appear before running away. Do not use a flashlight. The monsters will see it and know where you are. The batteries will always run out when you need it the most. If you have a change of batteries, do not use them. You will automatically turn it back on in time to see the Million-Eyed Elder Slime Beast coming to get you. If a party member gets ahead of the group and looks over the edge of a cliff, shoot him immediately. Get him before he gets you. Then run away because an Elder God is going to climb over the edge of the cliff any second. Oops, I meant, shoot yourself because you can't run fast enough to get away from the Elder God who's climbing over the edge of the cliff to get you. Two words: Tactical Nuke. That way you can get the Many-Mouthed Being From Beyond the Stars, the moron who got you into this [I]and[/I] get yourself too. [/QUOTE]
