Not to say we’re ADD, stoned on CGI, and used to believing whatever we don’t have to think about, but… could that be why nobody’s been back to the moon since “rocket science” became a figure of speech?

I heard the very curious theory that they did land on the moon, but radiation wiped the videotapes on the way back, so they re-filmed it in a studio.

Not really the late 60′s.. the Apollo program was actually started up in the early to mid 60′s. And for the record, computers existed back then as well.

Well the thing to remember is that fear is all in your head. It is there because you don’t or can’t understand. The fear of a murdering psychopath is similar to being chased by a bully. It is a creature nastier than yourself and you are all but helpless to stop them.

So you run and hope that your ragged breath isn’t so loud as to lead them to you when you hide.

Stuff like that.

Sadly, despite vast experience as a coward, I’ve never understood fear. The best explanation I read was in ‘Spares’, when the author talked about ‘The Fear’. Just the way he asumed that you knew what he meant, and you did, every step of the way. It was The Fear, and you are intimately familiar with it, it knows you better than anyone else ever could, because its right there in your head alongside you.
Maybe I just don’t want to understand.

Luckily I have a lot of bad experiences and nightmares to work with…

I try to only use visceral or headfu(kery when it actually applies to the plot. I run D&D so we don’t hit the usual craziness but I have scared them more than once if they end up in some area that is a festering pit of horror and madness.

I once had a dungeon theme where it was the walking nightmares of a lich’s tower. The lich was trapped by planar tendrils in a failed power ritual to touch the Far Realm, a place of madness. Think Lovecraft and Event Horizon.

So they would walk into rooms completely disjointed from the perceived reality. And the ceiling was watching them with literal eyes. I think the plague of zombie rats who burst from a pile of bodies with ghoul support was a nice touch.

You should see the effort I put into my halloween games.

I was always much stronger with the visceral stuff, and the ease with which it became natural to people, and they even got quite into it after awhile. I had the most fun when I introduced new players, with no warning, to the rest happily chowing down in a communal feast.
The really climbing into people’s heads stuff is amazing, but sadly not my forte.

Personally I found one of my moments was when on of my players had her back to me and I was describing the stages of phantasms going on above them as feral eyed little girls were staring down at the party from the rafters, eating bits of lynched little boys.

Then I made a noise behind her head and she nearly pissed herself and had to go find the bathroom.

Good times.

Way back when, I used to ST for my buddies (we were into white wolf games). I worked on my ambient descriptons with loving care. There were intestines writhing ropily across dripping abdomens, mouths distorted in still-born screams, artful gouts of bile from a ruptured liver, sweet somethings peeking out from horrified wails, the works.
And they just sucked it up and enjoyed their pizza. Horror is no fun when you don’t get to actually horrify someone (hopefully all that work finally served it’s purpose).

I do write horror so I try where I can. The spit would have you tied in barbed wire. Gotta get you properly cooked.

Damn, now I’m hungry for some grilled food tonight…

How is providing me with a feast going to discourage me? Celery and beets AND garnish? You had me at washed and raw.

By: froofrou

Considering that celery is one of the few negative calorie foods out there (I think mushrooms are another), then you’re not doing too badly, hehe.

And if you criticize my meat-eating in a broad, aggressive, or unjustified way, expect to be doused in celery drippings and garnished with some pickled beets. So there

I have no intent of tring to limit any meat-eating you might want to do, or criticising it in an broad, aggressive or unjustified way. I kinda hope to get the same treatment back, which is why I was a little worked up there (not that you were doing that, just that someone was and it ticked me off).
And celery is the best food ever. After death, it can be returned to vigor with a glass of water – zombie plants! I’m actually saving the world from this brain-hungry menace! Damn you, evil plant, I shall defeat you yet! Take that *nom*! and THAT *nom*!

OK, please don’t bash a reasoned ideology without at least some kind of argument. Humans have evolved to eat meat, but who says we’re done changing? We also evolved to do all sorts of unpleasant things that we’ve successfully moved on from. Don’t justify something just because natural selection chanced on it.
To each their own, enjoy steak and pork and all the rest, and make your own moral judgements on the matter. Just PLEASE don’t run around saying anyone who doesn’t is some kind of irrational whackjob.
