That's a wonderful piece of tattoo art!

For me, my fave is Nyarly... with Yog Sothoth as a close second, but Chauga Faugn's pretty cool...

Say, anyone got any suggestions for a Nodens fig?  Best I could come up with was a Poseidon in a shell chariot, but right now I'm using an old Dragontooth thunder god.

It has to be the big guy himself!

All the others are pale(pasty/writhing/bubbling/oozing/crawling) pretenders to the throne! lol

If I had to choose a deity it would be Cthulhu or Dagon.

But of course my favorite chumps are the deep ones. Nothing better like an old good deep one.

Deity: Hastur. I just love the King in Yellow and the madness inducing stories it brings. Terrific stuff for roleplaying.

Creature: Elder Things or Yithians. They are so utterly alien they fit the mythos so well. It is so cool to see different pieces of art of these creatures. Most differ a lot from each other. It shows how alien the descriptions are.

My favorite deity is Nyarlathotep, but a close second is Shub-Niggurath.
I have a cunning plan... as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.

A cool but uncommon one.  I like the King in Yellow.

Same here the King in Yellow
great poem

    Along the shore the cloud waves break,
    The twin suns sink beneath the lake,
    The shadows lengthen  In Carcosa.

    Strange is the night where black stars rise,
    And strange moons circle through the skies
    But stranger still is Lost Carcosa.

    Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
    Where flap the tatters of the King,
    Must die unheard in  Dim Carcosa.

    Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
    Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
    Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Got to sy Nodens because he might not kill you.

Other than that Cthulhu used to play up front for my Sensible Soccer team, and I have to say having a big guy up front helped to win!

Hmmm I think any coc diety that when the chips are in and the party is outside the temple/cavern/location are heard to say:

"After you Mr Swenson"
"No no, after you Dr Armeston"
"Really its not bother, after you"
and on....

I have always had a lot of love for the Mi-Go, although they are a creature & not a Deity. They have odd motives, talk in a creepy sing-song hum, plus I love the moment when you realize that Akeley was an alien with his face and hands sitting in a chair......SPOOKY!!!!!
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.
