Putting a PC on 'pause'

I think it was just the closest object at hand. Plus, if he hit her with something harder, he would have to answer to the Scampering Chaos.

"Why did you hit my mommy?"

Hehe. When I saw this thread's title for the first time, I got it.

But when I now - as tired as I am - read it again, I thought I would have to move it to the Computer forum.

Yeah but what he called me the boards would puke up if I tried to type it.

Heck, 3rdWife's keyboard might melt.

If it's any consolation, I told the hummingbird he'd be a terriffic asset if he'd just let us strap a small boom mike on his back.

I mean, before I started gibbering.

Heck, at least he has all his mental faculties in order.

Come to think of it, should I bother showing up for next session?

I mean, I'm happy to creatively role play being catatonic, but there's a good chance I'll overhear things my character won't have, uh, processed.

And if you really are going to vivisect me while I'm out . . . if it's anything like as detailed and authentic as your depiction of the peyote trip, I think I could pass on accidentally overhearing that . . . no--no--actually I don't think I could bear to look away . . . bit like one of those highway accidents . . .

Can someone go insane just by reading about CoC?

Nah, I'm sure we can have Swack-Iron just email you the description of your therapy session. In a rural Mexican mental health institution. I bet they won't worry about your insurance!

I'm starting to wonder if I should subscribe to this thread or not. CoC seems to corrupt its players just as much as its PCs.

Or are those who play it already corrupt?

Yes, yes and yes.

It's just this particular game. When Kidcthulhu Keepers, I get nightmares for a day or two and then get over it. I mean, I always know I'm going to go screamingly insane and then die in her games, and if I'm very good and lucky it'll happy in that order. So no sweat.

Since I started playing in Mythago's game, however, I've given up all sense that I know what's going to happen to me, or what I'm going to do about it, plus I've started reading motorcylle manuals, lost 25 lbs and started wearing hot pants in public. Worse, I've aquired a PDA, although I'm so embarrassed about this development, I haven't actually taken it out in public as yet.

Also, I've started having recurrent nightmares about being pursued by morris dancers . . .

*thread diversion!* If a character turns into a hummingbird, flies into a forest and a tree falls on it with no one else around, does Cthulu get a chuckle out of it?

Hey, maybe I should test that in the next game session

Uh, Sialla, you realize that KidC is merely going to take that as a cue to be MORE rat-bastardly and evil in running her CoC games.
