Tim you talked about your inclination of making Worlds that are x plus Lovecraft.
I find this awesome because I have a habit of doing this too. Heck I ran the Stars are Right Wars.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE AWESOMENESS OF THIS TRAILER OR THEIR USAGE OF THE KRULL SOUNDTRACK!

The Disney Keifer Sutherland version is shit, with such crappy dialogue as "Is this Musketeer Headquarters?" And shit that passes for wit like "Rocheforte, that's a kind of smelly cheese isn't it?" Compare that to the sublime Richard Lester films "This pass is only for one person" "I am only one person. This ...," points lantern at Planchet "... is a servant" I know under the rules of Comrade Stu, I should not piss on your pizza, OFTHEHILLPEOPLE, and I should let you have your kind of fun watching it. But this is too important, you must stop watching this crap. So I do, I do piss on your pizza. More than that, I squat and take a steaming dump on your pizza. Now, look at that pizza, OFTHEHILLPEOPLE, look at the pile of turd. THAT is a better Three Musketeers picture than the Disney one could ever aspire to be.

While we on the topic though, a shout out for this, one of the most true to the books adaptations ever: get ready to sing along Europeans:

I ran the Stars are Right Wars. That sounds AWESOME. I've never been able to nail fantasy + Lovecraft; that's a hard one to do. I mean, what is the horror in deep ones and Cthulhu when you've got kuo toa and dragons running around? My best game was a Vampire: the Masquerade game set in Arkham where the Baali weren't Satanists, they were Elder God cultists.

Yeah I think that will be a difficult mash up, I suppose the trick is to try and make the fantastical elements feel normal then slowly introduce the Lovecraft as something totally alien and otherworldly. Immune to standard magic, breaks all the established rules etc.
On the topic of Cthulhu has anybody tried / read the one on one Cthulhu Confidential?

Well, I respect your opinion but I'll take my Oliver Platt Porthos and shit pizza and love this movie to death. Besides, it's the only thing I actually enjoy Charlie Sheen in.

Oh, I forgot one more thing...
For frustrated players: Frustrate the heck out of them, BUT (and it is a big but) they need to occasionally get a win or you will break them.

So if the Disney Three Musketeers was a ripoff of the Lester films..... Stork, you do realize that they were books first, right?
I like the Disney version. It's fun. Also, The Man In the Iron Mask was fantastic.
