MrNemo posted:Yeah, another theme that is very strong is very much the 19th century elightenment ideals of rigorous academic thinking, analysis and an elevation of written records over oral ones. Nearly always the academic hero pieces things together from 'hidden lore' and the direct writing of other truth seekers. The oral histories are painted as inaccessible, supersitious and generally barbaric. The idea of turning that on its head is interesting. The dry academic analysis gives you some room for exploring the 'detached' scientist who doesn't grasp the horror of what they're encountering because they reject the emotional side of the lore. The 'Dark Gods' is supersitious mumbo-jumbo attached to alien intellects by peoples who were, unavoidably, ignorant of the nature of the cosmos. They're not evil they're simply other and it should be possible to utilise them, understand their motivations and work together. The players could be helped in this by some more traditional order who have a strong oral tradition that, it turns out, the superstitious mythological sounding parts of are actually true.
