Ratty Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I have recently been shocked by the number of people who seem to be unaware on who Cthulhu is. What are they teaching kids in school? Edited March 26, 2011 by Ratty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMGraham Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ignorance is a great thing. The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have recently been shocked by the number of people who seem to be unaware on who Cthulhu is. What are they teaching kids in school? I find this highly disturbing... my friend just has just had a massive Cthulhu tattoo on his back and everyone is oblivious to who he is :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 and everyone is oblivious to who he is :-( Your friend? If so he should probably get out more and meet people... But at least he has you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Honestly I find the chances of someone know who Cthluhu is directly proportionate to the chances they are a gamer. Ie He's like the Elvis of the gaming world, but outside of that know one really cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't say in the first post is that all the incidences of people not knowing who he is have been in our LGS with Gamers and Roleplayers I've known for years.

nightgaunt98c Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Cthulu is a truly wonderful being. I have however had to educate quite a few people about the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I am amazed by the lack of takers for option 3... Especially seeing as the evidence exists.

Dorian Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Check my sig. . . Also fun fact most people get wrong. Cthulhu is NOT an Outer God, he is not a God at all. He is the high priest of the Great Old Ones. Edited March 28, 2011 by Dorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 My lovecraft is not allways up to par,but I am fairly sure he is a great old one. In the sunken city of R'lyeh where Cthulu sleeps. But sometimes he is referred to as the sleeping god,so that is probably where the confusion comes from.

Soundwave Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Actually, he's not sleeping at all anymore. He's residing between my screens at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 hmm I'm wondering why everyone is misspelling Cthulhu on this page.. It's not like Hastur.... If you say Cthulhu's name 3 times he does appear and stick a tentacle in your ear... Just remember kids. Hastur gets annoyed when you mention his name.

Hastur gets annoyed when you mention his name. #shouts HAstur and runs away very, very quickly! Just in case # Seriously, Cthulhu is very interesting. I haven't read much lately but I remember picking up a roleplaying game back in the nineties, I think was called 'call of cthulhu' or something like that! Never got around to playing it though, it used to creep my friends out! May have to see if I can find it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm not sure if Cthulhu studies was an option when I was in school but it was most of what I did the last few years I was there. Still a massive influence on my tastes in Gaming and literature now.. if there's tentacles and a thing that you probably shouldn't talk about and or never see, I'ts got my attention. It was kind of a shame that at the Mountains of Madness didn't get picked up in the end. While I have a fear any kind of Hollywood take on the "Mythos" if anyone could of done it Del Torro would be been the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
