Hey all! I'd just like to remind everyone sharing personal experiences and being very open about themselves that this thread is publicly visible and that bad actors have pulled dirt on people from SA posts before. Not once or twice, but many times. Just please be careful, and remember that the audience here isn't just decent and reasonable people.

There's a secret word you can say and if I hear it I have to give you a dollar and leave the room every time. Also I think Wentworth Miller was super hot on the Flash.

It's been updated and republished for later editions, and there have been some scenarios and campaigns published to go along with it.

dwarf74 posted:I can get behind the animated stuff for sure, but none of it has given me such pure joy as watching the Legends go to the set of LotR to convince the actual real voice actor for the season's fictional big bad to read some lines so they could fool someone. I mean, how do you get away with that? It's good, but I'll trade it for having the voice actor for the Flash (Michael Rosenbaum who played Lex on Smallville) get an accidental brain transplant so now he's voicing Lex on Justice League Unlimited and saying stuff like "No, I won't wash my hands. Because I'm evil" in a sad attempt to blend in. Though admittedly the best part was when he called very minor Green Lantern villain Evil Star "You. Star Face Guy" and got a response. Evil Star knew how minor he was.

That’s because instead of a hand, he has an entire miniature city populated with thousands of tiny people sticking out of the end of his arm. That one time he forgot and scratched himself was a disaster of Biblical proportions for the populace.

Lovecraft gets stereotyped a lot but his stories did pretty much run the gamut from more standard pulp horror to gonzo fantasy, some of which went unpublished because it's not what the magazines wanted. And then there's his parody of melodrama, Sweet Ermengarde.
