Ha! I was going to ask what you'd done since you weren't in the Luke Robinson photo! This is great, and perfect in a year when you don't actually have to go anywhere.

Nice.

Well done cosplay!
I still don't understand what the "Conglomeration of Spheres" enemy is a reference to in the literature. Is there an HP Lovecraft story involving a Conglomeration of Spheres?
It never made sense to be gambling in a mobster den when suddenly a large amount of spheres rolls over the craps table at you and no one else cares

I may be remembering this incorrectly, but isn’t that how Yog-Sothoth presents itself in this dimension in the original Dunwich story?

I assume it is a reference to Yog-Sothoth, who is described as such:
in "Horror at the Museum": "Imagination called up the shocking forms of fabulous Yog-Sothoth—only a congeries of iridescent globes, yet stupendous in its malign suggestiveness."
in "The Lurker at the Threshold" (Derleth, not Lovecraft): "great globes of light massing toward the opening, and not alone these, but the breaking apart of the nearest globes, and the protoplasmic flesh that flowed blackly outward to join together and form that eldritch, hideous horror from outer space, that spawn of the blankness of primal time, that tentacled amorphous monster which was the lurker at the threshold, whose mask was as a congeries of iridescent globes, the noxious Yog-Sothoth[...]"
But it might not be. Keziah Mason is described as such in "Dreams in the Witch House": "Two of the less irrelevantly moving things—a rather large congeries of iridescent, prolately spheroidal bubbles and a very much smaller polyhedron of unknown colours and rapidly shifting surface angles—seemed to take notice of him and follow him about or float ahead as he changed position among the titan prisms, labyrinths, cube-and-plane clusters, and quasi-buildings; and all the while the vague shrieking and roaring waxed louder and louder, as if approaching some monstrous climax of utterly unendurable intensity."

That is so cool! The colours are perfect too

This is awesome but so impractical.

Hahaha I love this! I know the chair is probably tipped over for propping reasons, but I like the idea of those spherical globs just destroying things in their path.

Oh, that was definitely the idea! If I did this again I’d get a different chair that didn’t blend in so much. But... I don’t think I’ll ever do this again

How do we submit our costumes for the contest?

The FFG contest closed on Sunday, sorry - the information about it was on their Facebook at Twitter: https://twitter.com/ffgop/status/1321829478587277318?s=21

I entered as well, have they announced a winner yet? It said "theyll choose a winner ON or AROUND the 2nd" so still makes sense if they havent picked one just yet.

Next level cosplay!

Slaps roof of Conglomeration of Spheres
"This baby can farm me so much resources and actions with: Double or Nothing, watch this, quick thinking, all in, etc."
So that's how you take advantage of this dude...
It was so badly abused that the latest taboo nuke the shit out of Double or Nothing, quick thinking, and all in.
How do you guys keep track of the taboo when playing? Do you guys just remember the card that you've put in your decks and pull out a note of taboo list??
Usually, everyone just remembers which of their own cards have mutations/taboos. The taboo list is online, so you can keep it beside you on a smartphone if you want.
Or you can just play without any taboo and go nuts. ;)
