Cthulhu Does Not == Bacon!

When you add bacon to anything, it just gets better. Cheeseburger < Bacon Cheeseburger. Baked Potato < Baked Potato with Bacon. Turkey Sandwich < Turkey Club Sandwich. It's just a fact of culinary life.

Now I love CoC, but Cthulhu does not equate to bacon. RPGs are not automatically better because they have the Mythos in them. I just wanted to point this out, because it seems a lot of people think the way to make their games way more awesomer is to stick Nyarlathotep in there somewhere. Just like painting racing stripes on your car does not make it any faster. Just sayin'!

  1. Hey I plan on doing a Post-Apocalyptic game with bacon..er Cthulhu. I think that makes it better. Simply because it explains the strange changes to the world.

  2. Bah! It's a convenient excuse not to come up with your own explaination for the strangeness! You are one of the most creative designers I know, Tim! I'm sure anything you came up with would be cooler, fit better, and be a whole lot less cliche-ridden than Cthulhu! :D
