Lovecraft's stuff has that reputation, but on a listen through his works, he had a tendency to actually be properly descriptive when it was appropriate. I think it's a case of later, lesser writers gloming onto to making things indescribable as a lazy crutch that made the reputation of the mythos like that.

I think only 'The Unnamable' by Lovecraft really goes incredibly vague at a point where it should be describing the creature, but that story feels like a joke about this exact topic.

Michael Shea's mythos stuff is pretty good I think. 'Demiurge' is a book collecting all his stories. He updates them to the then contemporary 1980s, keeping the elements of cosmic horror but putting them in more modern and relatable situations rather than attempting to make them period pieces.

Tom Clancy has entered the chat and has started describing a submarine engine. Please help.

Yes, it's a 3rd person action game with a jetpack solidly part of Jango's kit.

His Space Wolves were painted over a long period of time, with many different techniques and paint brands. This lead to them looking inconsistent. I'm doing a lot of work to make his army cohesive.

I get the appeal of desaturation, but I've found it tends to only work with very small groups for things like RPGs or for dioramas. For big wargame armies, I try to make figures pop to give them as much clarity as possible when there is a crowd.

Thanks. For a strong and warm yellow, I've found painting a very bright orange underneath first to do the trick. The internet keeps recommending pink, but I've not found that to work. Orange, then yellow in a few layers, then orange wash gently drawn to the recesses, then a gentle cleanup with yellow to get the wash looking right.

It's very heavily inspired by the original Fallout game designs. Very heavy on having lots of types of character builds and options to complete quests. I'm probably going to restart soon because my first character wasn't a great build.

Brendon Fraser's funeral?

No but they are both in my wishlist. Right now I'm playing Colony Ship, which is coincidentally about a generational colony ship, but the game itself is an RPG.

(That's the joke.)
