The difference between HORUS and SSC is that HORUS starts with cosmic horror and works backwards to construct Dungeons & Dragons, while for SSC the cosmic horror is an emergent property of the fact that SSC frames are Super Fucking Anime. This isn't particularly a secret – it's just that at first you think they're Super Fucking Anime in the sense that if you lose your mech's dorky hand-forged katana, they'll make you write the swordsmith a personalised letter of apology before they'll issue you another one, and it's only once you dig a little under the surface that you realise they're also Super Fucking Anime in the sense that your slick giant robot with the corporate-chic styling and the custom leather gamer chair might possibly be powered by a little piece of a lobotomised alien god.

...I really need to get around to finishing reading the core book for this, don't I?

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

It's not like I like you or anything! P-Pendejo!
