"Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young".


Someone wrote this on another forum. I think they were talking about a
woman they know. Your idea doesn't have to be a woman. It doesn't even have
to be a goat. Shub-Miggurath sounds kind of pseudonaturally.

Do a GIS for 'Shub-Niggurath'. The images have a remarkable similarity
really. It's quite odd.

Le sigh, it's a sad state of affairs when folks don't know the classics.
Shub Niggarath is the Black Goat with a Thousand Young, one of the elder
gods from H.P. Lovecraft. It's the fertility god of the pantheon.

I read some Lovecraft in my time. I wanted to enjoy his writing. I tried to
enjoy it. I really tried hard.

Reading the stuff before the editors got involved helped somewhat. It's now
in three books, and whenever possible they took things from the Lovecraft
edits before the pulp editors got involved. Still, it's more fantastic than
horror, though some people get scared by it.
I listened to it (I'm blind, so no reading for me anymore) and it was mildly
interesting but none of it induced one whit of fear in me.

It was the writign style that turned me off. I think perhaps it was
typical for the time but it is just hard for me to slog through. Last of
the Mohicans was the same way. Seemed he used ten times as many words as
neccesary. But that's just me.

Still, a pseudonatural goat that oozes monsterous Pan-like creatures
that overruns the countryside on a regular basis and does 'stuff' to
unfortunate people that don't have strong enough locks or tight enough
shutters would make a nice expidition. Maybe the critters would be easy
enough to destroy unless mobbed but the issue wouldn't be solved until
someone figured out how to kill Shub.

If that worked out, maybe it would be a little trickier to figure out
how to keep all the Shubs from turning up! It seemed like a one-shot
adventure, but I can see it turning into a whole story arc,

That was a lot more common a hundred years ago. It's kind of similar to
trying to watch movies from the 1950's where the pace was far too slow
for our post-Star Wars tastes.

Shub-Niggurath is a god, kinda like Cthulhu; your best chance is to get
him to lose interest and go back to sleep, or to the Darkness Between
the Stars. Before you go insane.

Or kill the demented people summoning him. That always works too.

This is actually not a reference to the octomom.

Look up Shub-Niggrath on Wikipedia for a detailed description.

Dude, if you're for real, congratulations, you are one of the ten
thousand today.

http://xkcd.com/1053/

God of life from the Cthulhu mythos. Found in passing in "The Thing on
the Doorstep" by HPL and "The Seven Geases" by Clark Ashton Smith.

The d20 stats are in Call of Cthulhu d20. It's a CR 48 God with silly
things like 13 mile range 18d12 touch attacks, and automatic multi-grapple
for 3d6 continuous Con damage, immunity to anything it wants, fast healing
100, and automatic recovery from death. Not to mention d% San loss.


Also, IHBT, IHL, thank you. I'll blame the post count.

cloud which is probably what the name of the display is about
