I think there's any number of reasons Bull would make a terrible ninja. : P

Above someone mentioned Bonecrown being at the bridge in DH Saga.

Wasn't there some mentions somewhere of "The Nemesis" ?   Or something like that.  I see that is a Named Horror on that link.

Also is that last one w/ the Y-name the one that Aina and Harq are fighting in End of Worlds,  (I think that is the book title anyone)

I always considered the Horrors to be similar in nature to the Demons/Devils of D&D,  lots of little minion ones like we see with Dark/Orusco & some major Arch Fiends level guys like the various Princes of Hell.

Comparing Horrors to Demons/Devils is like comparing Ted Bundy to a kid eating a hamburger. You're much closer to the mark when you start talking about the Lovecraft mythos, except while the Great Old Ones cause insanity and devastation wherever they go, they don't actually care about anything below them more than you'd notice ants scurrying under your feet, and the Horrors are actively malicious, causing insanity and misery because THAT'S WHAT THEY EAT!

Yeah and some of them eat Mountains as well.

I completely agree that comparing them to "normal" demons and devils are off the mark, they are more like a force of nature, like the negative balance to order and creation, they are the forces of death and destruction. That being said there are of course different levels of Horrors and some of them could probably be compared to demons and devils, while others are indeed more Akin to the old ones in the Lovecraftian mythology.

Close, Rosa. The Old Ones in Lovecraft's mythos don't actively seek out people to drive insane and torture. They are, as you said, a force of nature, of primal chaos. They're the kid that steps on an anthill in passing, and never knew it was there. Horrors are the kid that saw the anthill, stepped on it deliberately, and then begins using a magnifying glass on the ants as they scurry about, laughing all the while.

Not completely true. Nrhymotep (sp) activity saught out humans to corrupt, use, and destroy. Depends on which Old One/Outer Gods you are talking about. Some actively sought to destroy everything. For D&D 3.5ed (4th doesnt exist) horrors are closer to Obyriths (true first rulers of the Abyss). Primordial beings so old and ancient that everything else is but utter tools to be played with. For Pathfinder they are now called Qlippoth, but serve the same basic function. Morals they hate, along with everything else, because moral souls make more demons. When all the souls are destroyed, no more demons (or much of anything else), and then the abyss will be theirs again. Granted, all realities will burn when this happens. Which, in scope of evil, are similar to the horrors. Can't remember which kind of outsider fed on fear and pain, but know some did.

Agreed. This looks like a 'training wheels' edition, that you can use to introduce someone to the setting, and then shift over to something like 5E or 4E. Like how D&D 5E is best used as training wheels for D&D 3.X.

Nrhymotep (sp)
Nyarlathotep or Bill Nye are both acceptable.

What?  You don't think Bill Nye is an avatar of The Messenger of the Old Ones?

Let's see for a moment.

Has a fair following as he wows people with science, something that normally doesn't exactly grab a lot of ordinary folk, especially in some parts.

He pushes these sciences on the very young, while they are still impressionable.

Which leads to Little 8yr old Tiffany out late at night with quantum physics books about to start some **** .
Setting the world up for its own destruction. ;)

P.S> Just teasing Bill, you knows we luvs ya.
And when the stars are right, you know where to reach us.

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?
