  4. And that's that. I'll be waiting for the "It's quantifying abstract experiences just like hit points!" To which I'll say here, "No, it doesn't." I can use HP to portray physical, objective trauma. How do I use that to measure and and capture the experience of subjective trauma?

  5. So we came up with Corruption. The more you deal with the Great Old Ones the more you become like them. Which has higher stakes for a player? "I'm down to my last forty sanity points!" or "I can save the party by doing this but I literally lose my humanity."

  6. Yes, I also wanted to avoid a sanity mechanic because of how it portrays mental illness, but my first impulse was just that it was an idiotic thing to measure.

    Yeah. It’s always weird when a game tries to tell you how scared you are. “You are this amount frightened. Now make decisions based on how scared you are. WoooOOOOooo.” It’s quite weird.

  8. We live in a world where we see horrors up close every day. Nightmares from the daily news are more likely than existential dread from seeing something that looks like it came out of a Cronenberg movie.

  9. You know what most people would do when confronted with an abomination from beyond the stars? Shit their pants, sure. Run terrified from the room, absolutely. But their first impression could very be, "Huh, that looks fake. Kinda reminds me of Videodrome."

  10. But here's the thing I really wanted to say about a Sanity metric and why I personally didn't want it in Fate of Cthulhu. It's fucking stupid.

  11. If you say, "Sanity," you're an idiot. If it measures one's stability and certainty when confronted by an irrational world, then it's even bigger bullshit. Just ask people who actually have experienced mental trauma and live with the consequences.

  12. I know I'm going to regret this, but what the hell. So the latest brouhaha around Fall of Cthulhu is about the lack of a Sanity mechanic. As if that was any sort of meaningful metric for existential terror. What exactly is a sanity point? What is it supposed to measure?

  13. I had forgotten just how pissy and pedantic gamers can get. I mean, I KNOW that we (yes, I'm a gamer, too) can get pissy and pedantic, but goddamn.
