Around 10 minutes ago, I finished the first 4 tales from The King in Yellow by Chambers. I really liked them, specially The Yellow Sign and The Mask. But I'm a little underwhelmed, don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed, but I feel like I know nothing about Carcosa, Cassilda, the mystery of Hades, and the King in Yellow, all we get from the Chambers tales are just glimpses of the cursed tale.

And I get that this is intended, cause telling you the whole tale would ruin the horror of the cursed book that everyone who reads it gets mad crazy and have a dark urge to kill (bg3) but I can't help myself to feel ok with it, I wanted more about the tale and the King.

It's like, the book gives us this entry to the tale:

"Let the red dawn surmise

What we shall do,

When this blue starlight dies

And all is through"

And then tells us absolutely nothing about what they did. I know that one of the pillars of cosmic horror is "don't tell everything about the entity cause it will stop being scary" and I haven't read a lot of cosmic horror, I have only read The Call of Cthulhu and The Thing on the Doorstep, but The King in Yellow is the first cosmic horror book that makes me feel like I know absolutely nothing after finishing the book.

Basically what the title says, after floor 100

I just beat floor 100 of BB, i played it all with two friends of mine, so at the end we were all around 20-23 levels underleveled, but I got the doubt, what level was the average most people had when beating floor 100?

I'm a big fan of Tolkien works, and I really love the depiction of the middle earth that LOTRO has, but I just don't have enough time to spend in a MMO game, most of them are really time consuming. Is there any way to explore middle earth without having to play all of the MMO questlines and content? I found EoAngmar, but I'm kinda disappointed by the fact that it only has Eriador. And I don't really fell like paying for the valar boost cause my idea of the game is literally using it as a walking sim, so anyone knows if there is an alternative?
