   Straight up: Moorcock's Lords of Chaos/Law and the Eternal Champion were a far more interesting milieu than Lovecraft's Mythos.

     I don't know when I hit a point where Lovecraft's 'Oh, man cannot know all the things~!' type stuff stopped being 'Oh mannnnn, cosmic horror!' and started being 'fucking hell, Lovecraft was a coward' in my brain, but here we are.

     Others have discussed this in more intelligible and well thought out ways than I have/will, but... cosmic horror hits much more weakly than it used to (for me, anyway).

     > N scale is a popular model railway scale. Depending upon the manufacturer, the scale ranges from 1:148 to 1:160. Effectively the scale is 1:159, 9 mm to 1,435 mm, which is the width of standard gauge railway.

     Motherfu-

     1/148 is close enough to to 1/144 to be alright, but 1/160 is pretty far out
