Call of Cthulhu Explained in Just 120 Seconds

[Theistic]

I wonder how many here know how weak Cthulhu was compared to the Outer Gods.
Luckily for us, the Older Gods (such as Azathoth and Hastu-graafhgghaisdhasuguh [size=6) were just uncaring instead of the evil, hungry little helraisers that are the Great Old Ones (Cthulhu n' pals in R'lyeh).
Except Nyalathothep.

Fucking bastard he is.

The video doesn't really do the mythos justice. It's just a summarization of the books specifically about Cthulhu, who's not really the scariest thing in there.

The point of cthulu was that he wasn't really asleep in the way we understand it....and he knew of us, and hungered for our minds and flesh, with only the fragile bars of his prison keeping him from consuming us in ways we don't dare comprehend....
And his agents chip and chisel away at those bars, gleefully and patiently, ignorantly praying for our doom whilst freeing a monster that knows nothing of loyalty, but everything of hunger.

This is a very good way of explaining the horror aspect of it . But a story may be interpreted in many ways. One of them is "they're all for the looney bin".

I should really learn to fear stuff. One day somebody's gonna knife or shoot me I swear.

Yay - you're not afraid of anything. Next.


Now, the rest of you - why did she not mention, like, the sanity roll?
