Human behaviour
« on: February 27, 2008, 12:33:00 pm »

I finally got around to trying adventure mode again, and I have to say that the ability to ask people about their families is awesome.

:(

Perhaps they are merely trying to decrease the resident inbreeding, after all marrying your own son can't be good for the gene pool.

If you see peasants with vestigial gills, it'd be a good idea to get away.

XD, Muffles. By any chance is the city by the water!? Does the name translate into "Innsmouth"? Are the peasants waking up and making horrible clay effigys to some unknown [POWER]?

Look up H.P. Lovecraft, and it should tell you just aboot all you need to know.

Fenrir: In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

See also: The literary works of one H.P. Lovecraft, specifically the stories "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".

I had partially modded in Great Old Ones in an older version, but they needed some detailing. I wanted to put in Deep Ones as the [EVIL] race, but DF got into an infinite reject loop when I made their civilization start in the ocean. I bet I can get them to appear adjacent to oceans though...

The first pic is my favorite Cthulhu image evar, I like the way he's tossing that guy.  You can find all of HP Lovecraft's stories at Dagonbytes.

A big monster like that on such a pointy roof, how does it stay up there?

Wait, if a small world means fewer cities which mean intermarriage, that would mean that it is possible for people to marry other people from different cities.

I didn't know that

Shadow over Innsmouth is one of my favorite books ever.
