Talk:HP Lovecraft's American War of Independence

--Edmiao 19:11, 21 May 2007 (MST) I am currently reading a collection of HP lovecraft short stories. just finished "The rats in the wall" and "the outsider". both excellent. Inspired to read some HP after playing a board game called "Arkham Horror", a great cooperative board game where the players work together to prevent the ancient ones from awakening and destroying the world.

--67.183.132.220 00:01, 22 May 2007 (MST)I have the original Arkham Horror game. I have heard the new one is pretty similar.

--Edmiao 09:14, 22 May 2007 (MST) we have the new one, plus two expansions. haven't even gotten around to playing one of the expansions yet.

--Gdaze 15:20, 23 May 2007 (MST)I'd play.

Ben here:I gotz to read me some lovecraft...never have.

Gabe: I've only read one, it was kinda neat but you never really saw any of the mosnters. Still it kept me reading.

--Jason 15:36, 23 May 2007 (MST)Seeing the monsters makes you go insane! They are rarely described, and when they are I always found it near impossible to imagine, they were so alien.

--Edmiao 18:27, 23 May 2007 (MST) I have two predictions for this game: 1) Gabe's character will go insane 2) Dieter's character will have no interest in investigating anything. 3) Nate's character will want to kill the monsters....three predictions....1) Gabe's character will go insane 2) Dieter's character will have no interest in investigating anything. 3) Nate's character will want to kill the monsters 4) my character will be inquisitive.....Four! four predictions....

--Matts 18:43, 23 May 2007 (MST)We'll either bust the lid off the situation and go insane, or we'll say we should better leave it alone, and then life goes on but everything tastes more bland and colors look duller.

--Jason 13:37, 24 May 2007 (MST)Would you guys want to try a 1-2 session thing of this sometime to break up your constant Nephon-ity, or would it be better served as something on a Saturday sometime? I dont know how close I am, but the idea is coalescing.

--Edmiao 14:16, 24 May 2007 (MST) if you wanted a 1-5 or 1-2 session run, I think we'd all be up for it anytime. same goes for Matt's space marines short game.

--Edmiao 12:14, 29 May 2007 (MST) been reading more lovecraft. i think this would be a fun game. i hope you decide to go for it. if you get disinterested or decide to run it in a different group, i might be interested in picking it up.

--Jason 12:35, 29 May 2007 (MST)I bought a whole bunch of Cthulhu books lately, and I have been reading online kinds of things. I do want to do this, and I anticipate it being ready within 3 weeks. I also think a campaign is possible, whether or not its in the AWI period I dont know. The group may go through many iterations, but as long as everyone understands that going in, it should be ok.
