For anyone who is not familiar with Lovecraft one of his stories is The Colour Out of Space.

As both a Lovecraft reader and someone who can spot boring titles I'm going to argue against Starspawn.

Except this is just the name of a random thing from the author.

And here's a random quote from the author.

I don't see why either stands out.

C'thulu Cult Recruiter
would be cool. I mean, we have The Baker, Supersaint, NK Immune Miller Vig, Godfather.
Flavor out of space doesn't describe the man.
And neither does your suggestion.

What about
This Flavour is too Spacey
? Like a pun on spicy?
It's not a title about space.

It's a hell of a lot subtler than any of the other suggestions.

That's a convincing argument Gandalf but when you want to dumb it down for me use more words than no.

For the second time it's not a space title. Stellar Flavor makes no sense. He doesn't make games about space.

Gandalf I think you may have missed what Flavour Out of Space references.

Here's the deal. Flavour Out of Space references a specific lovecraft work and the flavor. Colour and flavour are even similar in more ways than one. Thing is, nothing by Lovecraft (and as far as I know none of Percy's games) are set in space or related to it in any way so a simple space title doesn't make sense.

Nominate Percy for Rainbow Cthulhu Assange.


That's how we're doing this, right?
