Not that it has anything to do with the game but last summer I got a book of Lovecraft short stories.
I read The Call of the Cthulhu and I have to say I wasn't very impressed. Its decent but its far from his best story or even his best alien/creature thing.
Basically I don't get why it is so hugely popular.

like philip k dick, lovecraft is famous because he had some fucked-up ideas, not because he was a good writer
i like the shunned house and the case of charles dexter ward better than the call of cthulhu, though
Ontario colleges run for 8 months. Last year i was actually done a week ago, but they extended the school year by a week to fit in a week off. I don't get why they did that but, whatever.
My GF fucking loves board games but I usually don't, so we're somewhat at a loss there. However, Arkham looks really awesome and if it's as good as you people say I would play the fuck out of it!
I'm not sure if I could get her into playing though because a) she doesn't know the Mythos and b) she didn't sound very impressed by the description on amazon. :?

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
it's pretty good. innsmouth does a good job of fixing the gameplay flaws that are present in the base game. melding and i played it for a good 3 hours today but then we're totally gay for dicks
I was this close to purchasing arkham horror yesterday.
But I realized I a) have no friends and b) the people I know would never ever want to play that game with me.

Everything is shorter than Monopoly. For some reason we always end up shuffling money back and forth between us so nobody ever really loses. Capitalism I guess.
I'm gonna look into Arkham Horror but first I have to introduce the lady to the Mythos. ( :winky: )

the longest I've played was like five, three people ended up leaving as they lost and the game ended in a draw when I owned half the planet and the other two fellows who between them owned the other half allied against me

one time i narrated an innsmouth phalla
that was good times
also once i played risk over the course of several months and my mother in law hated me because it was on her dining room table
Risk is pretty shit compared to pretty much any other "take over the world" strategy game out there.
My personal fave is History of the World, but that's been out of print for a long time, so it's pricey to get ahold of.
But it's so awesome. You go through seven epochs of history, and you play as different empires during each epoch. Each empire has a starting location, a set number of troops, etc, but you keep track of who has had the bigger armies, so it balances by letting the folks with smaller armies draw first, potentially enabling them to stick the current winner with a shitty empire for next epoch. Regions are worth different points in different epochs, you can build and capture monuments, you get cards to cause natural disasters... oh man.
Played Arkham horror with Orik and a friend of ours. Bought Innsmouth horror, so we are all trying the new investigators. I picked the rookie cop, Tommy Muldoon, nice clean shaven young man, and his hero ability pulls all adjacent monsters to his location on the mythos phase. As well as one of the variant rules he leaves a bonus to the next investigator if he dies before things get too bad.
Cut forward a bit. Lil' Tommy Muldoon is now Arkham's Deputy. Also a long the way picked up the flute of the outer gods, which for three sanity and three stamina kills all monsters on your location.
Innsmouth is crawling with monsters of different types and Tommy is the only one near by. with the flute he can clear them out. Only problem, he only has 2 of both stamina and sanity.
Damn it, there is work to do here. Managing to get past several unspeakable horrors Tommy gets on his motorcycle, drives around the most over run area of Innsmouth firing wildly to draw everything to him. Star Spawn, Dark Young, Cultists, Ghouls, you name it it is now coming down on him. Boxed in, the rookie Muldoon pulls out the flute.
toot.
When the police arrive to the scene of the blast all they find is a vast amount of blood, far more then one person could leave behind, a wrecked motorcycle, and an only partially exploded police revolver.
Just got my CoC book in the mail today. I like the system, it's pretty simple. It seems to give the Keeper a huge role in making things interesting. That is a challenge I am up for. I will begin work on my first adventure tomorrow. I think I'm just going to expand and tweak the first one they have in there and give it a test run with some friends. I gotta create some awesome stuff for the game first though like newspaper clippings and a journal and whatnot. This should be awesome!

You fuck wit' Die Antwoord, you fuck wit' da army.
I hate the fact that I don't know any players that'd be able to play CoC "correctly".
Also I fear reading the book as storyteller would destroy much of the myth of the... err Mythos.

12 for me. I ended up winning which was nice. I never want to play anything for that long again though.

It also takes like 6 hours to play.

Just need to find some people to play with.
Also want to get Arkham Horror, but need some people to play with besides just the wife.
Can't wait til Aedan is old enough to play tabletop games.
