The cover of Communion scarred my psyche more than anything else, ever. As a kid I spent a lot of nights convinced if I took my head out from under my covers, one of those fuckers would be staring right down at me.
communion is one of very few books i found myself unable to finish due to exceeding my tolerance for creepiness. in fact, off the top of my head i can't think of any others. but there have probably been a few over the years.
The movie version of Communion with Christopher Walken is super creepy too. I don't know that the movie itself is that great, but the vibe is dead on. I think the whole movie is on YouTube.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
