The thing we ran into in our game was that the Shub-Niggurath player had a hell of a hard time.
The ability to spread quickly just didn't stack up against the other powers. He would spread, then be wiped out by each player in turn.
We've only played once, but he seemed competitive. I was playing him, and I came a close second. But I imagine balance issues won't shake out until we play a lot, as Japan says.
The solution to both problems is the Meatza. This is actually a thing, and it's DELICIOUS. Brown some ground beef, line the bottom of a casserole dish with it, put a mix of Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano cheeses on top of it (tomato sauce if you are allowed to have SOME carbs), and bake for 15-20 minutes (I think). You'll probably want to add some pepperonis or sausage or mushrooms to it to make it more pizza-like, but it's so delicious.

Yeah, you guys may remember scheck posting about a friend of his who died around a year or so ago.
He was also a friend of mine (we all played WoW together), and at one point when he was on ventrilo with us, he said that his dad's girlfriend moved in and that she smoked indoors a huge amount and he was coughing a lot of the time. He eventually got lymphatic cancer (so maybe/maybe not related to the smoking), and although he survived that, the secondary effects of chemotherapy eventually killed him.
And I can't see how you wouldn't want to go back and try and do something about that. Like I knew perfectly well at the time that living in a house with an indoor smoker is pretty fatal. I could've said something; of course I know I'm not to blame for his death, but how can you not want to go back and alter something like that?
(there's a fair other number of people I could technically save armed with knowledge of how they die, but those would be more prophetic)
Spoilered for personal sob story/sappiness, and to be sensitive to someone who could possibly read this
When I was about 17-18 I was dating a girl I'd been with for a little over a year who I was furiously in love with (in the way that 18-year-olds are). Her mother was a smoker, had been for most of her life. If I recall she had a couple health problems but there was never any sign of cancer. One morning, with absolutely no warning, her mother fell down the stairs, injured her head, and lost consciousness. My girlfriend was there when it happened, and was there at her side when the ambulance came. It ended up that her mother had developed lung cancer that had metastasized to her brain. Her mother never regained consciousness.
One of the most vivid memories I have is seeing my girlfriend again for the first time after it happened. She bawled into my chest and showed me where she still had her mother's blood under her fingernails. I remember my own mother coming into the room and sobbing with us. I have never before or since in my life seen someone so completely and utterly destroyed by an event, I have never so desperately wanted the ability to do absolutely anything to ease someone else's pain.
I'd have done anything simply to allow her to say goodbye to her mother while she could still respond.
I couldn't comprehend how something so innocuous and stupid as cigarettes could lead to such incredible suffering.
But, I suppose what I ended up realizing is that everybody dies. If not now, and here, with something you could've prevented, then later with something you couldn't have. You will lose everyone that matters to you, or they will lose you, and that's okay. There's no point in fearing something that is inevitable, whether you're scared or not it happens all the same. And no matter how perfectly you try to live your life, you will miss something, or make a mistake, and there will be pain. Preventing everything bad is not what matters in life, and for everything bad I can prevent and do, there will be something I cannot. What matters is cherishing every single moment you get to spend with the people you love and appreciating how much they really mean to you, and not lamenting those moments you won't get to spend together. The memories of joy you got to spend with people, those are yours forever, or at least until your memory goes. The truth is we control incredibly little about our lives, our only real power is to decide what we are going to do now, in this immediate moment. I can't always prevent the people that I love from suffering, but I can always love them.

I do think part of that might have been that the player was a bit timid early on. It's definitely a game where you kind of look at the map and think "Risk" but it's not at all similar in terms of what it means to hold power.
I feel like he probably lost some opportunities to take the lead for a turn or two and use that to open up some powerful stuff in the spellbook.
Man though I was Cthulu and that "dive into the water and then reappear" thing was so fun. Just boooop see you assholes later oh THAT's where you're weakest blllloooorp hello.
It's kind of a comfort that there's fuck all I could have done about my dad dying.
He was a doctor, he was gonna have a high risk of infection post-surgery. Sucked a lot, but if I could hop back in a time machine or whatever I probably would have just been like hey take a longer vacation cause bad news about retirement.
Really that's what I got out of him. Do shit, do it now. Not just like "do what you love", but do things you think you should do, because you have less time than you expect to do things. I think I've gotten better at doing that.
Everyone. Stop the ketosis diets. I have important new information.
Bread is delicious.
But so is meat
And thus, burg
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I've recently noticed I have a lot of old image files saved that are close to 10 years old, hold no special meaning or use, and haven't been used since I originally saved them.
Why haven't I deleted these?
The 0.01% chance you will use them in the future?
I know, right? That's what my brain keeps telling itself.
"Hey, don't delete that 50x50 thumbnail of Homer Simpson. You never know when you'll need that again."

Believe me, I know. I am on a low carb diet because I have to be, not because I want to lose weight. If it was just about losing weight, I'd exercise more and just eat the bread. The delicious, sweet, spongy wholesome bread. *drools*
It has led me to find some creative solutions to the "no bread and no sugar" thing. But I miss it. Rolls, bagels, muffins, all of that.
(No seriously I swear whenever you post some random bit of internet I'm all 'oh hey it's that weird thing that I love'.)

My Massive Chalice game is taking a turn for the weird, one family had a million hunter kids some who had really good traits, and it happened to be that 3 of those were the first to reach level 6, and when they died they left behind 3 relic weapons. Which are so good that it's going to be hard to not go all in on this family and have the remaining 170 years as a hunter party.

Friend zoned y/n?
I feel like you're never totally friend zoned with smash bros
Because there's so much opportunity for innuendo
"I got something you can smash, brother"
"Check out this special move"
"You wanna see my favorite combo?"
"Let me show you my joystick technique"
"Lookit dem tittays on Samus"
"Hey let's strip down and bone"
"Where are you going?"
"Aw hell"
"It's just you and me again, pizza rolls"
Look at this c-stick casual... whatever, I'll let him down smash me.
i am always genuinely surprised when they aren't
watchu got against fembots?
organo-racist
*dusts hands off in satisfaction*
*dusts pizza roll crumbs off belly*
Works every time.
You're married to a porpoise?
I want an inexplicably ethnic name for my first kid
they usually just wanna have sex with me instead of having a nice conversation about mutual interests
you're still using iOS 6?
the hell, man
Im not a part of your system
Maybe your wife is not actually ethnic. Maybe no one is. It's impossible to be sure anymore.
