One of the characters is named The Snorkeler, and I decided it'd be fun if his whole schtick was trying to keep Lovecraftian monsters from taking the surface world. I'd remembered an image of Aquaman summoning Cthulhu somewhere on the Internet, and I did a Google search, which led me to your take on Aquaman. I don't have much experience with pen and paper rpgs, but walking through someone else's world is always fun.Williamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-18167583223064890482011-05-25T22:51:50.256-04:002011-05-25T22:51:50.256-04:00 Hi William!

Can you tell me how you found my blog? <br /><br />Also, since I see you're into worldbuilding, you'll probably be interested in my Pellatarrum fantasy campaign setting.

I didn't hear anything either, but then I also didn't hear about people quitting their jobs to travel cross-country in Repentance Caravans, and giving away all their money to pay for ad campaigns about the coming end of the world. If anything, cultists seem to be stupider now than in 1994. <br /><br />I hope with all my heart that veterinarians and humane shelters are waiting until Tuesday to do euthanizations.Erin Palettehttp://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-60091602551855731432011-05-19T19:31:10.834-04:002011-05-19T19:31:10.834-04:00Well, like you said, this is the second time he...Well, like you said, this is the second time he's made this prediction, and I don't remember hearing much about upheaval or increased suicide rates after he was proven wrong back in '94. It is disturbing how many people believe in his prediction, though. He doesn't even claim that it came through divine revelation -- he just thinks he's smarter at interpreting the Bible than the rest of us. His prediction is based on some wacky mix of math and Biblical numerology. But that doesn't even explain where he gets a 5 month tribulation instead of the traditional 7 years.<br /><br />I really, really hope people aren't actually putting their pets to sleep because of this guy.Jean Bauhaushttp://blog.thetaskwrangler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-9734085468944632122011-05-19T17:27:53.108-04:002011-05-19T17:27:53.108-04:00I believe that The Bible also said that the Raptur...I believe that The Bible also said that the Rapture would come like a thief in the night, which further validates the point that no one will know when it will occur.Eddie Halterhttp://www.facebook.com/phoenix411noreply@blogger.com
