Just a minor question...
The group I am playing with is currently in another campaign
right now, but will eventually get back to the one I am DMing.
I am planning on adding a new factor to the campaign. But one
thing bothers me.
Just how DO you pronounce Cthulhu?

Anderson, it should be pronounced as 'zh' is, in Piezhirovski. this implies that putting an 'h' before the 'u' in both vowels is a representation of a 'u' with a sort of backward sloping umlaut (sp?) over it. The 'l' would, therefore, need to become considerably more languid than can be represented on an Latin-based keyboard. Cthulhu is best pronounced (phonetic): 'Laundry' -Nige Gale (honk)
