  1. If you're a fantasy fan start with his Dreamlands stories - if you're more into horror, then start with the Cthulhu ones - both of them overlap, but they both have a different style of presentation.

    Same time stamp
  3. Lovecraft's style is strange - mostly because he's trying to describe things, feelings and sensations that are beyond words.
    His usual method is to start off in a very dry, precise "educational" way - there are usually quite a few facts, dates, references and history, real and made up, that helps to give an impression of normality and make the situation seem real - but as the story progresses, his writing becomes more and more weird, using older and rarer words and a more "poetic" style to give the impression of the previous normality breaking up as the "truth" is uncovered.

    Try some early 20th century stuff then

    Nope

    Are you sure that's not just the devs giving away the Dark Matter code to random players?
  7. Pre-existing also = no invasion code spawns for these groups, so they have to pick them at 50-54 to provide a challenge for high level players who can sidekick lower level ones, rather than all higher levels having to exemp to get a challenge from them.

    Can't you just check the announcement section or the I24 beta forum area to see when the I25 section is added?

    Another triumph for justice. Or something.
    If justice isn't consistent, then it's not justice - either Tyrant and Domi have to walk free, or Marauder and Marchand have to join them in the dock.
    Tyrant is on trial for crimes agaisnt humanity because he killed large numbers of people "for the greater good" - Marauder also killed large numbers of people "for the greater good", but he's fast-tracked into a new SG - and both of them have a higher body count than Domi, who helped Primal Earth during the war, while Tyrant and his faithful attack dog fought to the end for their "utopia"

    Marauder and Marchand also bring nothing new to the table as a possible motivation for the authorities not putting them on trial - for example, a theme in I24 is Primal groups wanting to get hold of advanced Praetorian tech, especially the Praetorian Clockwork, so if the "reformed" Praetorians were Neuron and/or Anti-matter, then it'd be easy to see how the authorities would be preapred to let things slide if those 2 agreed to co-operate with salvaging and repurposing their creations.
  13. You missed the bit where Positron said that the zone he'd most like to do something with is Perez Park, and then Protean said that they'd actually made a few plans for it.
  14. There are some things that are better for people not to know.
  15. I'm talking about the dictatorship as a whole

    In that case, can we improve the look of our chests when wearing spandex by getting something like the witch top or Mother Mayhem's top that gives the impression of having more normal looking curves?
    The current bodysuit set on beta doesn't have the right stretchiness, or any neckline options.
  17. Just so as you know, AIXP will be available from Incarnate arcs in I24

    Well, that would be typically loyalist - the outside looks impessive, but beneath the surface, something's badly wrong.
  19. I could see Marauder/Center slash working quite well.
  20. What makes you think that the Center - who runs an organization that has only 1 woman in it, with the most of the other members being made up of buff guys in tight uniforms, and Vampyres and Warwolves stripped to the waist and wearing leather harnesses - would be interested in a muscular guy in tight jeans and a tank top?

    I think the best you can hope for with MM pets right now is some system that lets you use models from enemy groups, kinda like the Lore slot - like if you had Mercs, you could chose Council, 5th Column, Malta or Knives as alternative models.

    The Tech Knight set is on beta right now in a very unfinished state - but it has a quiver.
